Ben Taylor from Thinking Basketball examines how LeBron James' evolution as a shooter and overall player helped him break the all-time scoring record. Subscribe to the NBA: on.nba.com/2JX5gSN
YES, please make thinking basketball the official analysis channel for NBA. Because all of the other channels are only gonna talk about trivial stuff and not actually break down the game.
The bad thing is that this level of recognition is always going to bring out haters. There are so many comments under his current videos talking about how he “must have never actually played basketball or that his stats are fake or he’s a hater nerd” despite the fact that he shows his film work to back up or explain the analytics. It honestly reeks of “anti-expert” dunning-Krueger syndrome: people who watch highlights think that their limited view of basketball is more valuable than an expert who puts as much of their biases away to study the game at its core.
Yep, Thinking Basketball put this video out around the time LeBron broke the record. I'll go back even further. Thinking Basketball has a website called Back Picks that's been out for a long time. I checked out they're "Greatest NBA Careers" articles long before they had a RU-vid channel. This guy and the contributors to that channel and website have always been next level.
@@dylanbach8578the more visibility that thoughtful, insightful analysis of sports gets, the better. That will result in less of the daily, banal “who’s the goat” conversations from people that have done no preparation. They just show up and ramble. Also, props Thinking Basketball. You deserve it.
smiling from ear to ear hearing thinking basketball on the main nba channel. he deserves this more than anything, been a fan for YEARS congrats Ben and amazing analysis as usual
With his play style it is just absolutely mental that he was never out for half a season or longer. All the penetrations and finishes against big men in his early career are the reason many of his peers had early career ends.
This video just shows me how much the nba has changed from how big man centric it was to the more pace and space it is now which allows for more scoring.
@@poly_g6068 giannis grew 2 inches after joining the league. he came in at 6'9 and even playing spotty point guard minutes, now he's 6'11, more like 7 ft with shoes
Never forget that LeBron, armed with an entire roster of prime All-Stars....got whooped by Carlos Arroyo, Manu Ginobili and Spanoulis. That's how much of a biatch LeBronze is.

I've never rooted for him but it's especially unbelievable that he's survived the three point revolution to keep being one of the best (or perhaps the very best) in the league.
@@brendanbloom3366 It just makes it more shocking to think of what previous legends would average today, himself included. Obviously this is not a prime LeBron but man, we're looking at 35ppg minimum
@@brendanbloom3366 Really really appreciate your comment. "What’s unbelievable about it. He has more space than ever now. 7 guys averaged 30 last year" is probably one of the most insightful intelligent sagacious and profound ideas ever thought of in the history of humanity.
I can’t believe this dude is making content for the NBA now. (I loved the Wilt Chamberlain documentary by the way.) However, you do realize how many people are gonna think they can do the same thing now, because the biggest problem the basketball is too many people think they understand it.
Shout out to Ben Taylor and Thinking bball. Always good to see him get these looks, and guys like Nate Duncan and Danny Leroux of Dunc’d On calling some LP games. Ben truly is one of the best basketball content creators out there, period.
Love lebron James seen his career from the start at Sacramento man he still great and playing blows my mind I’m a grown man now wow time flies, ima be bummed out wen he retire like I was when Reggie Miller left, I love NBA, grew to love & appreciate all hoopers no more favorites just like the game
The 2010s was a golden age for the sports world. Basketball: LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant Soccer: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Tennis: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer I get the impression that the next generation of stars in all sports is inferior.
he got no gambling, guns, weird dramas, baby mama and side chicks issues.... he is all about basketball, health and family... if all players will do this, they probably be playing until their 50s

I completely forgot how they were no space whatsoever. This was a great breakdown. Wow, you deft did your homework. We deft going yo miss him once he's gone. Let enjoy Greatness like man6 others, you will not see another Bron in our lifetime.
Funny they don’t talk about Lebrons second stint in Cleveland. That was hands down without a shadow of a doubt the absolute best version of Lebron James.
As an avid LeBron fan, Miami LeBron is hands down the better version of LBJ. I would put it this way; 1. Miami LeBron 2. Cavalier (2nd)LeBron 3. Cavalier (1st) LeBron 4. High School LeBron 5. Lakers LeBron
Miami lebron was not better than Cleveland lebron. Number 1 2011 lebron in the finals, doesn’t happen to cleveland lebron. Number 2, 2018 lebron is the best player ever and far and away the best version of lebron. Number 3, lebron in those finals vs the warriors averaged a 33, 12 and 10 triple double, led both teams in points rebounds and assists while averaging 35 13 and 8, and then led both teams and all players in everything while coming back from a 3-1 deficit vs a team that broke the all time regular season win record.
@@sportstalkonly1442 we know 2011 he played horrible but lebron prove the next year he was greater then 2011 lebron, but the point they were getting at is his peak, was 2nd stint Cleveland lebron better then Miami lebron? I don't think so.
Never forget that LeBron, armed with an entire roster of prime All-Stars....got whooped by Carlos Arroyo, Manu Ginobili and Spanoulis. That's how much of a biatch LeBronze is. MJ is a better offensive player. MJ is a better defensive player. MJ is a better winner. There literally is no debate. Except for clowns like yourself.
Second stint in Cleveland Bron is the most complete version to me, lethal mid range fade away. Still hyper athletic with a three ball that was falling.
@@LilSaturn_ lol it was an obvious 2013 DPOY robbery against bron 😂😂......it would be a big controversial topic if it was anybody else involved but so many ppl hate bron so nobody cared to questioned it 😂 😂
@@davidjames6036 exactly! They didn’t want him do anything close to what Jordan did, I bring that DPOY up anytime a Jordan fan talks about Bron’s defense.
