FunDaMentals

As far as all these great fundamentals are concerned, dwight plays the way you would want any post player to play. Lebron plays the three great. One problem they both have is turnovers. Niether of them is the perfect example for kids. Lebron is jumping to pass like crazy which often leads to a turnover. Dwight is lowering his shoulder to make spin moves which often leads to an offensive foul. Lebron travels like crazy....rarely goes to the hoop on anything less than 3 steps. Dwight uses his off arm to shield away oppising rebounders. If you want to honestly know, Lebron is a horrible example of a fundamental athelete, but a great example of trying to be a complete player despite his overwhelming physical prowess. He gets shots whenever he wants cause hes faster stronger and more athletic than anyone. Kobe gets shot ala jordon...with sly vetran moves. Lebron may be the best in the league....but a great example for how to play the game he is not. You cant teach someone to be 6'8 230 with a 40 inch vertical and a 4.4 40 time.
