re: How many years does LeBron keep playing at this level?

your logic is that because he hasn't had an injury, he won't have one?
I think I already said this but since you have reading comprehension issues I will repeat it. It is a combination of historically great health, his physical attributes/body type, and advanced medicine and physical therapy practices

Having to guard someone in the post who is 4" taller and outweighs you by 50-60lbs leaning on you, banging you, elbowing you etc. on a nightly basis would take just as much of a toll on your body as guarding someone your own size or smaller.
How often do you think LeBron guards a center or the fastest player on the floor? Apparently a hell of a lot more than it actually is in reality

There aren't exactly a lot of 300 pound 7 footers in the NBA either. Guy makes it sound like Lebron is guarding one every night

Who cares how long he plays at this level, it won't matter if he keeps sucking it up when it counts.

Yea I know. I'm just not really following his line of thinking here

I forgot nothing counts but the finals. He should probably be making league minimum and have all his endorsements dropped for not playing worth a shite in the finals

At least three more years. He came straight from high school. He was 17 or so when he entered the league so comparing him to Wade is stupid

when you tattoo "The Chosen One" and are deemed The King and The GOAT by some.....you're held to a slightly higher standard.

Compliments of SI when he was in high school. If I was 16 or 17 and being dubbed the chosen one, king, etc. I would be way more of a douche than LeBron

He's putting a lot of wear and tear on his body by flopping on the floor every game.

When you are put on a pedestal like LBJ is, every facet of the game matters, not just the regular season or just the finals. I'm one of LBJ's biggest advocates but he has let a lot of people down so many times when it counts. In all honesty if he wasn't with Miami right now and everyone else was on that roster they would still have a shot at the finals, IMO.

Loco I'd like to know how many 310-320 lb centers you think are in the league nowadays. LeBron is 260-270 and you said he has to guard centers that much bigger than him (he rarely does).
And Verlander, lebron's longevity depends on him developing a post game. He's not going to be a point forward into his 30s. He's going to lose that speed and quickness and his jumpshot is still crap. He'd be best as a Chris Webber type player in his 30s.

I'm sorry you disagree but what exactly has LBJ done in the series let alone the playoffs? Bucks? Could've swept them without LBJ. Bulls? Could've won the series against the depleted bulls without LBJ. Pacers? Toss-up, game 7, LBJ's defense played a factor in this game. If LBJ was not on the team and Wade had his role back with the same roster there is no doubt in my mind they are finals contenders.

I thought you were worthy of being taken seriously at first

If I was LeBron I would quit after this year. He has plenty of money and it doesn't seem like he is having fun due to all of the pressure the media puts on him. I would just say frick it and walk with my hundreds of millions of dollars.

All up for debate with all the unknowns floating around. Let's not act like the Easter conference was some juggernaut conference this year as well.
