LeBron James has had a busy (and if you’re outside of Miami, not so good) summer. There was the Decision, him joining Twitter, the ESPN article that allegedly existed at one point, the skinny jeans pictures in GQ magazine and much, much more. Everyone’s had something to say about the King, and not all of it was good. That led to his now infamous “mental notes” warning via Twitter and even more over-analyzing of his every move.
Luckily for us basketball fans, the season is approaching soon, which means we’ll all get back to watching the game. In one of the first glimpses of him practicing for his new Miami Heat team, LeBron proves what we all already knew, nobody can guard him. Not even Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
You might notice the “I can’t stop him so I’ll push him as he shoots” defense Spoelstra repeatedly uses has no effect on James. It’s probably because James is built like a truck and Spoelstra looks like a grocery store bag boy, but either way someone needs to remind him that he doesn’t play for the Lakers, so he won’t get away with that type of defense. (Zing!)
On a more serious note though, it’s good to see him in the gym working on continuing to improve his outside shot. As has been noted a million times, if he can develop a consistent jumper and low-post game, he’ll become unstoppable. Also good to see Udonis Haslem in there after his questionable arrest a few weeks ago, although the video doesn’t specify when it was filmed. If basketball isn’t your thing, you can always watch this video he just released of his son’s kindergarten classroom.
