I dnt understand why the Heat dnt play with this scheme all season....one on one defense against shooting teams, simple jumpshots against the zone...making your free throws....what happened to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade FT's and jumpshots btw...it looked like it got better the first five games...
if he keeps doing this nd had a coach tht knows anything about play callin he would be the best player in the nba w/o a doubt. spo's idea of a GW play is puttin wade or lebron (two players w/ inconsistent range) around the perimeter and going 1-on-1 while the rest of the team stands around allowing a double team w/o consequences. a simple pick nd roll w/ lbj nd wade would rlly be the greatest thing ever. give lebron a small window to the lane he can power through anybody, + he likes to dish
wow you are right. Lebron is having a monster season so far with ridiculous numbers. I look to see him getting more assists now that Wade is healthy again
The Heat are 14 games in and Coach Nick is still right about LBJ having an all-time great season. Maybe people don't realize it yet, but LeBron is playing some of the best basketball in history right now. I think King James is going to post the highest Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of all time this year, surpassing the high marks of Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
@Thab15a LBJ is more complete than any other player, but he is 6'9 260 and is as athletic and quick as anybody in the league. Kobe and Jordan are both 6'6 and have almost the same playing style however MJ was alot more efficient than both of these guys. Im going with MJ anyday..
So this great season of Lebron isn't gonna happen. Missed 3 of his 6 free throws late in the LAC game. Carried by Dwyane Wade's game winning buckets.
FACT: Miami heat should be 6-7 in this season if Wade didn't make those Game winning shot, and a Bosh 3 pointer. Having 3 of the best players in the league in that situation is just stupid.
@Zabarteismyname um have you seen the spurs game? i know his late game isnt that great but you should at least give him credit for training during lockout and stuff. not slack around and getting their face off on drugs. people need to constantly improve and i believe hes working to really be a champion. so give credit when credit's due
@idopi Yea I know, but having to play against a Team that's almost the oldest in the league isnt that great. MIA will play the Lakers in their next game, I wouldnt be surprised if Lakers will not win. Lakers simply can't outplay a team with YOUTH(OKC, MIA, POR) but seeing a 33 yr old guy scoring 40 plus games is MJ like.
@Zabarteismyname yea i give credit to kobe, i acknowledge that hes working hard to be a role player, a player like mj will forever be remembered as a player that defined the game. kobe is 90% hordwork and 10% talent much like mj thus every time he scores 40+ points, i take my hat off for him. as i said give before, give credit when credits due. btw lebron and kobe are one of the two most fav players in the game. so i dont care bout hating or that shit
@Zabarteismyname well i agree kobe is the only one that can be compared to him, but i do not dismiss lebron as a amazing athelete and player, maybe just maybe it is easier to compare kobe to mj because they play the same position on the court and use the patented fadeaway that we all came to love, which we all know is kinda similar. well its just one man's opinion
@idopi Well MJ said that kobe's arsenal of moves can destroy a player 1v1. I think Kobe's a better overall player than Lebron, Lebron's like a here I come you can't stop me, but if you watch Kobe man he can take you off the dribble, shot over you, etc. When analyze what Kobe does to the defender, I think it will make you agree that Kobe's a more complete player.
@Zabarteismyname Kobe's more complete? LBJ is the most athletic player in the nba, he gets more assists, more rebounds, and is arguably the best perimeter defender in the league (look at how he shut down d rose in the playoffs.) Kobe's got the most offensive moves, but LBJ can fill up the stats across the board better than anybody
@Thab15a I agree with ProMrasic's comment. having a 6'9" and 260 body can get you more rebounds and if you are talking about assists, the lakers have a true point guard(Steve Blake, Derek Fisher) which handles the ball more. Having Kobe posting up is a option to score, 2nd option is to find an open teammate when got doubled. Get it?
MJ even said to his Jordan Book writer that Kobe has earned the right to be compared with him. Okay?
@Zabarteismyname You can't knock Lebron's stats just because he's athletically dominant. Nobody cares if he shut down Rose because he's more athletic - the fact is he did it, AND he can shut down at SG and SF also. If you argue that Kobe is more complete because of intangibles, clutchness, etc you might have an argument - i'd disagree, but it's a valid argument - but all you're suggesting is LBJ is athletic to the point of it being unfair to the rest of the league.
@Thab15a Watch it more carefully, most of it's a team effort. Bigs making Rose's shots more difficult, the help defense, etc. Lebron isn't known for being a lockdown defender, he's known for chasedown blocks, playing the passing lanes. He can't shut down Durant, Melo, Gay(yes Gay attacks the rim more often when Lebron's guarding him), etc. like Kobe does and on the other side, Kobe can't do blocks and steals like Lebron. Okay?
@Thab15a Think of it, why is Kobe an All defense first team every year? He doesn't get blocks and steals as many as others. That's because Kobe can make you get into a more difficult shot, forcing players to go to their weak side, forcing them to over play, it's the little things. I'm not saying Lebron isn't a good player but he's not a lockdown defender. Overall, Miami's a number 1 defensive team.
@roll451 Right now, yes he is because Kobe is too old, Kobe can't even stay in Lebron's face because Lebron's fast and more athletic right now. But if you watch when he was younger, that's lockdown defense at it's best. Lebron's defense comes more from helping the weakside.
@roll451 Did I say Kobe isn't a good defender right now? I said Lebron is better but Kobe is still in this talk. He's still in the 1st team right now right, with LBJ.
@Zabarteismyname Kobe is not a better defender than wade. That is fact. I watch both of them very closely(league pass) there is no he was supposed to get that.
@Zabarteismyname yes because coaches vote for nba 1st teams and that they DONT WATCH EVERY GAME. Yes pick them over someone who sees it every game. Wow i bet you're more of a kobe fan than a laker fan.
@roll451 Did you watch every game last season? LOL. Coaches see players play up close not like you watching with your league pass. They see Wade or Kobe playing defense versus their team, so they know more than you. Drop this. Don't make yourself stupid.
@Zabarteismyname So sad im a a true nba fan. I see the game on a higher level. Do yourself a favor and stop watching basketball. People like you should not be able to watch it. Your obviously a KOBE FAN. DO you WATCH kobe play defense? Wait you just watch highlights on ESPN. lol watch the games and will learn something.
@roll451 ESPN? I watch the whole game not the highlights. ESPN rides on Lebron's dick. Seriously ranking Kobe on 7th best player on the league? True Nba fan? What a retard.
@Zabarteismyname NOOOOO Kobe is top 5 dumbass (last season). Sorry i like facts and when someone is averaging more points, assist, rebounds,better fg% and plays better defense than the other player he deserves to called the BETTER PLAYER. You are a KOBE DICK RIDER. People like you need to stop watching NBA you guys give it a bad name. ESPN SHITS ON LEBRON YOU IDIOT. Dont you remember last season O WAIT you watch highlights. GO AND WATCH A KOBE HIGHLIGHT MIX AND JERK HIM OFF.
@roll451 Lol Kobe at 7th best player. Have you seen the reaction of the players, analysts, commentators, coaches, etc. to what ESPN put up? PURE BS! Kobe dick rider? I started to talk about Lebron guarding Wade and I'm not even saying Lebron is not a good defender. I just said that's he's a better weakside defender and help defense rather than a 1v1. THEN YOU POPPED OUT. What a retard. You started this shit now you call me a dick rider? Go praise LBJ and DWADE dick.
@Zabarteismyname He guarded the MVP on clutch possessions and destroyed Deng and Pierce in the playoffs. Not to mention melo. WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP KOBE #7 on ESPN i didnt bring it up. I watch games and stats. GO PRAISE KOBES DICK.
@roll451 Lol. He never shut down Pierce. Have you seen the Celtics eliminate the Cavs? Pierce played above Lebron's level. He never shut down Melo in their meetings. In their 13 meeting. Carmelo won 9 games including a GAME WINNER ON LEBRON'S FACE while Lebron won 4 and you talk about stats. Lebron fans saying BS again. Dude, take LBJ's dick out of your mouth Lebron's getting annoyed.
@kwhit009 He didn't shut down Pierce alone. Most of it's a team effort. Bigs making Pierce go into a much more difficult shot, the help defense's spacing so they can double team in a difficult spot, etc.
@Thab15a One more thing about Lock down defense. SHUTTING DOWN A 6 FOOT 3 TALL PLAYER BY A 6 FOOT 8 260 POUND LEBRON JAMES. It ain't a hard task for me, and that means Miami is a more versatile team and complete, I mean an SF player guarding a PG?
if lebron keeps playing the way he does, he will have a great season but he won't win a ring because he can't make the right late game decisions and especially free throws
@nza07 oh my god they're last game was horrible to watch- the whole team looked bad in the 4th, and Lebron certainly stood out. Hopefully he can correct those issues.
Its premature to say that Lebron is going to have an all time great season and did not really improve hia game, I agree on that. However, I think his mindset has changed..instead of jacking up wild 3point shots(like he always did when its a close game) he is attacking the basket..and like you said he has an advantage atheletically on pretty much everyone in the league..so he is going to perform better than before..
@damroll No doubt - did you see tonight's 1st quarter. He is simply overwhelming - and now that he's efficient, I'm telling you - he will have a season that ranks up there among the all time greats...
y do people talk stats when only 5 or 6 games have been played in the league?! can we wait till they reach 20 games then we will have decent averages.
@beastkiller27 I really like LBJ - Kevin Durant offensively is impressive. Derrick Rose impresses me immensely. I don't really have a favorite team - I suppose it's the Bulls if I had to pick, since I grew up going to all their games... but now, I'm just a general basketball fan.
@eraOofOgs Sounds like a good idea. With so many games, we'll have to do more concept breakdowns since it'll be impossible to keep up. What about some post game live chats? You up for that??
@Dkouts57 wade has a higher usage percentage than lebron sooo. your argument there isn't that great and u have a lot to say for someone who doesn't play pro ball
@Dkouts57 the only thing that I didn't like of your comment was the 95%... did you really take the time out to do that stat? c'mon...
other then that I agree, especially the off the ball part. I think the stars nowadawys don't understand you need to be good off the ball, as good as you are with the ball. Most of the stars today are only good with the ball in their hands.
no the 95% i didn't do the stat but on almost every night he has an athletic advantage on almost anyone. whether its speed, quickness, leaping ability or strength but you comment is fair.
my only point is that this ONE video, from ONE game, the FIRST game of the year shows nothing about his improvements to say he will have an "all time year".
apparently you dont understand the definition of a POST UP.
POST UP: is to establish position in the LOW POST, the area NEAR THE BASKET BELOW THE FOUL LINE, usually in order to take advantage of a smaller defender. The offensive player usually FACES AWAY FROM THE BASKET,so that the body can protect the ball from the defender. From this position , options such as SPINNING or BACKING DOWN the defender to close into the basket for better scoring opportunities.
@Dkouts57 Whether you think he could catch the ball in the paint and score 4 years ago is completely irrelevant. The point is that he was NOT doing that hardly at all last year and he has clearly worked to incorporate these shots this year. If he continues to get shots this way, he will have one of the all time great seasons, since there is no one that can contain him in those spots.Tonight was a great example
I bet you could find games where he was scoring inside. the point is the post up on Carter isn't anything to get excited about. he could do that on Carter in his sleep the last 5 seasons.
you shouldn't get excited having a great game against absolute garbage (NETS).
if he does 28-7-7 and shoots 50% thats not an all time great year.
and not you, not me not anyone would be surprised he pulled it off.
The point is he hasn't shown improvements in his flaws.
NBA is fixed. Im not even a fan of this cat Lebron, but he supposed to been had a ring. And he doesnt even need a ring to be great, numbers and off stat sheet contributions says it all. This cat plays defense wit his feet (if u know b-ball, u know what im talking about). Even wit the new b/s rules they have now he still is able to be a force on defense. In my opinion, he would still be dominate if he was to had been playing in the nba in the 90's.
Hey Coach Nick are you able to show any reasons as to why the Knicks offence is failing at the moment? getting a bit sick of them jacking up random 3's.
coach, can you make a video breaking down Rubio's and the timberwolves' game?
i just watched the game MIN vs MIA yesterday and I think that rookie is gonna have a very specticular season. He just tore down MIA defense. (although many of the plays are because Bosh over committed the double team off the screen).
@SquishyCandyftw They've reduced the number of 3's they've been shooting... stops other teams from getting quick transition baskets off of their long misses.
Hey coach Nick, I follow the discussion you had with coach Stein about the "negative step" or the false step", here's why coach stein was right: Blake Griffin Thunders It Home (youtube video)
@MenSenzg I met up with Alan in San Diego and we went over that exact thing for 10 minutes. Here's what I came up with - going in a forward direction, you'll need a negative step to get going. If you're in the correct defensive stance with knees bent, and you have to turn and run to one side, no negative step...
coach here you said lebron will have an incredeble season and next vid you said d rose is the mvp lol i am a bulls fan but i think if lebron keeps playing this way he is the 100 % mvp
@bballbreakdown hey coach can you make a comparison/breakdown of the way the Lakers play with PJ as head coach and right now with Mike Brown in command of the team..
@bballbreakdown Hey Coach.Great video.Do you think there could be anything specific that Lebron could work on over the next offseason? If there is then what could it be?Thanks
@FoxesBasketball12 Well, let's see how this offseason plays out. I think he can continue to work on his post game. And I'd like to see him get more efficient on his individual moves from the perimeter - he's better, but he'll still bull his way to the basket...
Lebron James is too much of a beast and a great teammate, I'd put him as a starting SF in my all time dream team. Just imagine if he and MJ are on the same team. Not only would they win 8+titles, they'd have a great chemistry as well.
@bballbreakdown why would you put lebron james starting on your all time dream team larry bird is a better shooter passer and he is one of the smartest players ever in nba history
great video and lebron is one of the greatest player in the game. Can you tell me the future for the Golden State Warriors i hope they make 8th seed this year with a great coach Mark Jackson.
@MrPaperCom I'm not so sure - they had the #1A defense in the league last year, rebound well, block shots well, so I don't think center is going to be their problem. In fact, they look motivated, hungry, organized. Look out, NBA!
@josifus77 Not out of reach - I think they could do that... I'd be very concerned if I were the rest of the NBA right now. Watch out for injuries, though.
I still think its too early to analyze the Mavericks. If people remember the Mavs started 2-7 in the 2006-2007 season and then went on to 67-15. Right now the talent is there in D-town but the chemistry isn't. We're a new team and I think its going to take 10 to 15 games to know who the mavs are really. While the Heat are practically the same team (few additions) they know each others strengths and have a strong connection after the NBA finals
Yeah Coach Nick. No doubting LeBron's greatness, but you are giving him WAY too much credit based off of one game against a team that still hasn't really played with each other much. I have to say, I'm disappointed in you. One video based on a SINGLE game?? -____-
Why don't you just say he's the best over based off this game and get over it?
Still not convinced. He's the league's best player, true, but I think this is Durant's season. In order for it to be as 'special as a season' for LBJ as you say it's going to be, he needs to be above and beyond the competition. I think KD will take MVP.
LBJ will have a great season, but not one of greatest ever. He cowers in big games, and doesn't have that killer's mentality that MJ and Kobe possess, and the Miami Heat is Wade's team.
Coach Nick stop getting ahead of yourself. Lebron had one good game against a Mavs team that has been completely revamped. Call me in the finals when it actually matters.
@Soulastic1 you should really stop thinking that your a psychic and think you can predict what the experienced and improved lebron james will do in the playoffs. just be quiet.
lol airballs are not a good sign!

if lebron keeps playing the way he does, he will have a great season but he won't win a ring because he can't make the right late game decisions and especially free throws

@nza07 oh my god they're last game was horrible to watch- the whole team looked bad in the 4th, and Lebron certainly stood out. Hopefully he can correct those issues.

Its premature to say that Lebron is going to have an all time great season and did not really improve hia game, I agree on that. However, I think his mindset has changed..instead of jacking up wild 3point shots(like he always did when its a close game) he is attacking the basket..and like you said he has an advantage atheletically on pretty much everyone in the league..so he is going to perform better than before..

still cant play off the ball
cant post up when he has a size and athletic advantage on 95% of the players he matches up against

You showed 3!

he cant do those three things thats why he fails in playoffs against quality teams.

no the 95% i didn't do the stat but on almost every night he has an athletic advantage on almost anyone. whether its speed, quickness, leaping ability or strength but you comment is fair.
my only point is that this ONE video, from ONE game, the FIRST game of the year shows nothing about his improvements to say he will have an "all time year".
Dkouts57 2 months ago
@bballbreakdown
#5 1:45 17ft face up jumper. again not post move
#6 1:51 posts up for a one dribble step back. hardly a post move
#7 1:57 POST UP spin in transition
#8 2:02 POST UP to a fade away that barely touches the rim on 4" shorter 70 lighter Delonte West
#9 2:11 Sets Pick only to roll off to 27ft for a 1 dribble 22 ft jumper non 3 AIR BALL
so what you had was a POST UP at 1:23 from 4ft on a garbage player
at 1:57 was a post move in transition.
2:02 unsuccessful post move
Dkouts57 2 months ago
@Dkouts57 1:45 he catches on high post, does a right foot turn and turn around jump shot. This is a post move.
1:51 when you put your back to the basket and hold off your defender, it's a post up and that is a turn around step back.
I hope this helps clear up the confusion about what a post up is...
bballbreakdown 2 months ago
@bballbreakdown
1:45 is not a post move
post move means = BACK TO THE BASKET not post turn and face up!
15:51 is exactly as you say A STEP BACK JUMPER.
the following are post moves with your BACK TO THE BASKET
fade aways, turnarounds, drop steps, hook shots
face up jumpers and step back jumpers are NOT POST MOVES!
and good job pointing that you dont know what a post move is
Dkouts57 2 months ago
@bballbreakdown
apparently you dont understand the definition of a POST UP.
POST UP: is to establish position in the LOW POST, the area NEAR THE BASKET BELOW THE FOUL LINE, usually in order to take advantage of a smaller defender. The offensive player usually FACES AWAY FROM THE BASKET,so that the body can protect the ball from the defender. From this position , options such as SPINNING or BACKING DOWN the defender to close into the basket for better scoring opportunities.
"COACH"!

Dkouts57 2 months ago
@bballbreakdown
as far as stats I can find a better set of 3 games to start a season from Lebron if I wanted to. Doesn't mean its going to be an all time season.
As far as the "post ups" and could be one of the most unstoppable forces of all time"
#1 1:02 is a face up jump shot from 15ft
#2 1:15 is again a face up jump shot 19ft
#3 1:23 post up 4 ft on Vince Carter. Could've done that 4yrs ago
#4 1:36 is flashing without the ball and he still missed. not a post up
to be continued
Dkouts57 2 months ago
@Dkouts57 Whether you think he could catch the ball in the paint and score 4 years ago is completely irrelevant. The point is that he was NOT doing that hardly at all last year and he has clearly worked to incorporate these shots this year. If he continues to get shots this way, he will have one of the all time great seasons, since there is no one that can contain him in those spots.Tonight was a great example
bballbreakdown 2 months ago
@bballbreakdown
I bet you could find games where he was scoring inside. the point is the post up on Carter isn't anything to get excited about. he could do that on Carter in his sleep the last 5 seasons.
you shouldn't get excited having a great game against absolute garbage (NETS).
if he does 28-7-7 and shoots 50% thats not an all time great year.
and not you, not me not anyone would be surprised he pulled it off.
The point is he hasn't shown improvements in his flaws.
Dkouts57 2 months ago
NBA is fixed. Im not even a fan of this cat Lebron, but he supposed to been had a ring. And he doesnt even need a ring to be great, numbers and off stat sheet contributions says it all. This cat plays defense wit his feet (if u know b-ball, u know what im talking about). Even wit the new b/s rules they have now he still is able to be a force on defense. In my opinion, he would still be dominate if he was to had been playing in the nba in the 90's.

I still think its too early to analyze the Mavericks. If people remember the Mavs started 2-7 in the 2006-2007 season and then went on to 67-15. Right now the talent is there in D-town but the chemistry isn't. We're a new team and I think its going to take 10 to 15 games to know who the mavs are really. While the Heat are practically the same team (few additions) they know each others strengths and have a strong connection after the NBA finals

Still not convinced. He's the league's best player, true, but I think this is Durant's season. In order for it to be as 'special as a season' for LBJ as you say it's going to be, he needs to be above and beyond the competition. I think KD will take MVP.
LBJ will have a great season, but not one of greatest ever. He cowers in big games, and doesn't have that killer's mentality that MJ and Kobe possess, and the Miami Heat is Wade's team.
