LEBRON’S ATHLETICISM STANDS OUT

Put him at any spot from one to three positions and you will get the same outstanding result but to play him at number four and five spots and still remains effective, that shows how versatile the amazing LeBron James is. Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra was forced to use James at the power forward and center spots during the absence of the injured Chris Bosh. James says he takes advantage of his athleticism to grab those rebounds on the defensive end to trigger their offensive attack, according to ESPN.

“There’s pros and cons with it. Defensively it allows us to do a lot of things. We can switch on the pick-and-roll. I can use my athleticism off defensive rebounds. Teams are used to a [power forward] getting the rebound and then going out on the break. For the most part when we’ve had that lineup it has been very good for us. We’ve been working on it in practice. We’re going to keep trying to get better.”
