The Decision
He didn’t have to change. The LeBron James from Miami’s Game 1 squeaker and its Game 2 loss was not the Heat’s problem. Aside from his two late turnovers, James had turned in another borderline perfect performance in Miami’s loss, and the consensus afterward was that the onus to improve was on the other two-thirds of the Big Three. LeBron James was doing all he could.
Still, in yesterday’s first half, the shift in James’s approach was clear. He pounded Paul George on the block, scoring whenever he went to his left, and showing that even when he doesn’t have to adjust, he can. Let’s forget for a second that 15 months ago, that choice, to dominate from the block, would’ve set the Internet on fire. James’s post game is just something that exists at this point, another piece of his essentially complete arsenal. I don’t want to laud LeBron James for adding those elements to his game — I want to know how he chooses among them.
James’s combination of skills has always been apparent. On any given possession, there probably isn’t a conscious thought about whether to pass or whether to score. The defense dictates that as much as he does, and the decision is likely instantaneous and based on a combination of preternatural feel and collective unconscious.
It’s the approaches, though, that do seem to require a choice. At some point yesterday, or the day before, or in the locker room after Game 2, he decided that in Game 3, he’d try his hand on the block. James’s desire to diversify his game is unquestionably a good thing, but now that the collection of options exists, it has to be navigated. Most players in the NBA have carved out a niche that’s required years and countless hours to shape. They’re unique pieces that fit on any given team because all the others do. But what if you could be whichever piece you wanted? What if you could do everything? James has gotten to the point where he has to choose which player he wants to be at any given moment, and his mastery of that is just as baffling as the choice existing at all. |
