LeBron James – How can he help Miami Heat win next season: NBA Report (Part-1)
Without a doubt, LeBron James is one of the best basketball players in the world. He has speed, strength and superfluous scoring skills. His offensive game has always impressed many and has also earned him great acknowledgement.
His most lethal weapon is his extraordinary athleticism and attacking ball play. Over the past eight years, he has been a beast on the offense and a rock on the D.
In the last National Basketball Association’s (NBA) season James was one step away from winning the elusive NBA title but fell in the last hurdle. Overall, he played wonderfully throughout the season and helped his team to qualify
for the 2011 playoffs. His individual performance remained consistent and he finished the regular season averaging 26.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game.
After a successful journey to the Finals, James and Heat were exposed in certain aspect. With James being the pivot on which the team in based, these areas basically circle around him and in order to go one better, James has to
do the following;
Rim Finishing Ability:
LeBron James has extraordinary rim finishing ability. He is one of the most dominant players on the paint and at 6 ft 11 in, he has the athleticism unseen before. However, late in the playoffs, James for some reason sat back and
relied mostly on jumper and outside shooting, a thing which is not his forte by any stretch of imagination.
James revels on breaking the opposition defense and he should trust his instinct come whatever may. He has to act like the alpha dog and grab opportunities, if he and the Heat are to create a legacy.
Free Throws:
Free throw accuracy are also very essential for one’s game. Under normal circumstances, James is a good free throw shooter. In the last regular season, his free throws’ average was at 0.759 which is decent enough. However when
put in pressure, he fails to maintain his accuracy. During the NBA finals against the Dallas Mavericks, James was totally off colour from the stripe and the free throw conversion was ultimately the main difference in the closely fought series.
