他最主要的武器就是速度和力量的结合，这在NBA史上前所未有。当球在手中，詹姆斯就像人形攻城锤一样势不可挡，运球投篮命中率达到联盟最高的60.3%——比第二名的霍乐迪高4.9个百分点——同时场均单打得分排名第二（6.1）。
在运球进攻方面詹姆斯无所不能：像后卫一样的控球，中距离和三分的干拔投篮，灵巧的终结（比如跳步和反篮），势大力沉的扣篮，机智的造犯规等等。
这些技能再加上顶级的球场视野（稍后再细说），使得詹姆斯成为挡拆方面的精英。从每次持球得分上看，常规赛詹姆斯百分位排名为91%（即高于91%的球员），在季后赛中为90%。
对于湖人这样在上赛季挣扎于半场阵地进攻的球队来说，詹姆斯的到来就像是雪中送炭。
虽然詹姆斯拥有令人难以置信的控球，但下赛季他很可能会打大量无球，因为湖人阵容中还有两名更有天赋的传球手，鲍尔和隆多。
对于湖人来说很幸运的是，詹姆斯同样会在无球中如鱼得水。
他的接球投篮三分命中率高达38.3%——想想他在鲍尔和隆多身边打球，画面太美。詹姆斯的每回合进攻空切得分（1.62）冠绝联盟，展现出了他对比赛的灵敏嗅觉和纯粹的运动天赋。
当然，湖人的进攻不止于半场阵地，他们上赛季打出了联盟第二的比赛节奏，快攻得分排名第二。
詹姆斯此前从未在节奏前十的球队效力过，联想到试图在快攻中阻止他如此令人绝望，这将是一件很有趣的事。
只需问一问莫里斯，当他试图像空中大灌篮里的外星人一样抱住詹姆斯时，依然无法阻挡詹姆斯打成2+1。
鲍尔钟爱全场长传，想象一下，如果让勒布朗扮演罗布·格隆考斯基（效力于新英格兰爱国者队，司职近端锋，多次入选NFL最佳阵容一队）的角色，鲍尔的四分卫评分（橄榄球四分卫，主要以传球发动进攻）将会有多高。
詹姆斯在比赛中是一个当之无愧的得分手，但同时也是一个天赋异禀的传球手。
这位阿克伦球员拥有百年难遇的大局观，几乎能在任何情形下完成传球。
单防无法阻挡詹姆斯冲击篮筐，一旦协防则会导致防线被传球撕裂。即使是一个稍纵即逝的机会，詹姆斯也能一记妙传轻松助攻得分。
特别是詹姆斯还是一个挡拆战术大师，即使在人堆里也能找到队友，传出角度刁钻的击地秒传。
近年，詹姆斯已经成为最好的策应传球手之一。
今年的季后赛中，所有球队都在寻找防守错位，詹姆斯通过队友的掩护，从而找到移动缓慢的大个子或小个子后卫形成错位单打。
当一个后卫被迫防守詹姆斯时，即使从三分线附近启动，詹姆斯也能运用超强的力量碾压到篮下。
防守队员将被迫采取夹击，然后，就是詹姆斯队友们的吃饼时刻。
或许NBA历史上再也没有球员在惩罚包夹上比詹姆斯做的更好了，防守者像棋盘上的棋子一样任由他摆布。
由于詹姆斯的长传能力，即使在球场另一端的球员对手也不能放空，以防止潜在的空位投篮。
作为詹姆斯身边的队友，哈特、库兹马和波普将会由于詹姆斯的防守牵制力而大概率被放空，从而获得大量的空位出手机会。
在詹姆斯的队友中，湖人可能是他带领过的最具防守性的阵容。
上个赛季，湖人从防守倒数的球队飞升到联盟排名第12，其中鲍尔、哈特、波普、英格拉姆和教练沃顿居功至伟。
过去的这个夏天，湖人队防守半径进一步扩展，隆多、史蒂芬森和麦基等拥有着和英格拉姆、鲍尔一样出色臂展的新援加入了进来。
这将会减轻詹姆斯在防守端的一些负担，他能够打得更自如、在场上游走、协防干扰。但是当球队需要的时候，他总能锁死对手甚至退防追帽。
前，一个叫勒布朗的年轻人直接从高中跳到了NBA。如今，33岁的詹姆斯依然是这个世界上最好的球员，更可怕的是他还在不断进化。
上个赛季，詹姆斯得到生涯新高场均9.1助攻，8.6篮板，命中1.8个三分。他在比赛中更多地使用背身单打以及策应传球，并且都做到了极致。
他的武器库中甚至增加了更多投篮进攻。后撤步三分成为常规武器，后仰跳投——大部分球员很少使用——成为一个新的致命武器，在季后赛中尝试了68次，命中率达到52.9%。
詹姆斯和猛龙的比赛至今依然历历在目，在季后赛中猛龙毫无办法，眼睁睁看着詹姆斯在头顶做后仰跳投练习，将他们队史最佳战绩的阵容横扫出局。
詹姆斯的伟大毫无争议。他在联盟历史得分榜位列第七，助攻榜位列第11，荣获过3次总冠军和FMVP，4次MVP，14次全明星和两次奥运金牌。
他是有史以来最全面的球员之一，没有重大的技术缺陷。如今詹姆斯正值巅峰，刚打出NBA历史上最震撼的个人季后赛表演，也可以说是他的职业生涯最好的表现。
詹皇将君临洛城，但没有人知道接下来他会如何开创紫金盛世。

Latest Laker: LeBron James
The King is coming to Los Angeles.
LeBron James — the alpha of the NBA and one of the greatest players of all-time — has decided to write the next chapter of his career in purple and gold ink.
James joins the Lakers on the heels of one of the greatest individual postseasons in NBA history.
During his journey to his eighth-straight NBA Finals, James led the postseason in scoring (34.0), double-doubles (15) and triple-doubles (four), while ranking second in assists (9.0).
Yet, somehow, even those colossal numbers don’t fully encapsulate LeBron’s dominance.
Though he is listed as a forward, the 6-foot-8, 250-pounder can play any position on the floor thanks to his all-encompassing skill set.
His playoff brilliance was mirrored in the regular season, when he ranked third in points (27.5) and second in assists (9.1), while playing all 82 games.
His primary weapon is a blend of speed and strength that the NBA had never seen before. An human battering ram, James is nigh-unstoppable with the ball in his hands, shooting a league-high 60.3 percent on drives — 4.9 percent better than second-place Jrue Holiday — and averaging the second-most points in isolation (6.1).
He has the entire package when it comes to attacking off the dribble: guard-like handles, pull-ups from mid- and 3-point range, crafty finishes (like hop steps and reverse layups), explosiveness at the rim, ambidexterity and the ability to draw fouls.
These skills, plus his world-class court vision (more on that later), make James elite in the pick-and-roll. He ranked among the 91st percentile of ball handlers during the regular season and 90th in the playoffs, based on points per possession.
For a Lakers team that struggled with its half-court offense last season, adding LeBron is like finding a vending machine in the desert.
While James is unbelievable with the ball in his hands, he will likely spend a good amount of time off the ball, considering the Lakers’ roster features two more gifted passers in Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo.
Fortunately for L.A., he thrives in those situations as well.
He shot 38.3 percent on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers — exactly the kind of looks he figures to get alongside Ball and Rondo. He led the league in points per possession on cuts (1.62), where his feel for the game and pure athleticism shined through.
Of course, the Lakers’ offense is about more than half-court production, as they ran the NBA’s second-fastest pace and scored the second-most fast-break points last year.
LeBron has never played on a team among the top 10 in pace, which is interesting considering how hopeless it is to try to derail him in transition.
Just ask Marcus Morris, who essentially tried to tackle James like the Monstars at the end of “Space Jam,” only to have him still power through for the and-1 bucket.
And for as much as Ball loves firing full-court outlet passes, imagine how high his QB rating will be once he has LeBron playing the part of Rob Gronkowski.
While James is certainly one of the most impressive scorers in the game, he is every bit as talented as a passer.
The Akron native has once-in-a-generation vision, allowing him to make just about every pass in the game.
A single player can’t stop James from getting to the rim without a help defender, leaving defenses vulnerable to drive-and-kicks. If even a tiny window is open, he is able to exploit it with a pocket pass.
In particular, James is a savant at running pick-and-rolls, using perfectly angled bounce passes to deliver dimes through forests of opposing bodies.
And recently, he has become one of the best post passers in the game.
This year’s playoffs showed that teams are all about finding and exploiting defensive mismatches. LeBron did this by targeting the slowest big or smallest guard and having that player’s man come set him a screen, forcing the opponent to switch.
When a guard had to cover James, he used his superior strength to back them down and get to the rim, even if he started all the way near the 3-point arc.
Defenses were forced to start doubling LeBron in the post, and that’s when he set the table for his teammates to feast.
Perhaps no player in the history of the game has been better at punishing double-teams than James, who manipulates defenders like pieces on a chessboard.
And with unlimited passing range, teams cannot abandon players even on the other side of the floor without conceding a potentially open shot.
Teammates like Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will thrive off looks created by his magnetism for defensive attention.
Speaking of LeBron’s teammates, the current roster construction could be one of the most defensive-minded groups that he has ever played with.
Last year, the Lakers jumped from last in the NBA in defensive efficiency to 12th. Ball, Hart, Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram and coach Luke Walton had a ton to do with that.
They added a ridiculous amount of length over the summer, as Rondo, Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee have similarly impressive wingspans as Ingram and Ball.
This should take some defensive pressure off James and allow him to play free safety, roaming around and causing havoc.
And when needed, he is always capable of locking down an opponent or hunting a swat in transition.
Fifteen years ago, a teenager named LeBron James made the leap from high school straight to the NBA. Now 33 years old, James not only remains best player in the world, he is somehow still evolving.
Last season, he averaged career-highs in assists (9.1), rebounds (8.6) and made 3-pointers (1.8). He has tilted his game more toward post-ups and distributing, and is already elite at both.
He is even adding more shots to his arsenal. Step-back 3’s have been falling regularly. His fadeaway jumper — used sparingly by most players — is a new, lethal move that fell at a 52.9 percent rate on 68 attempts during the playoffs.
No need to remind the Raptors, who could not stop LeBron as he swept their best team in franchise history while simultaneously taking target practice with his fadeaway.
There is no arguing LeBron’s greatness. He is the seventh-leading scorer in NBA history and 11th in assists. He is a three-time champion and Finals MVP, four-time MVP, 14-time all-star and two-time Olympic gold medalist.
He is one of the most complete players of all-time, with zero major flaws in his game. He is still at his peak, coming off one of the most impressive individual playoff runs in NBA history, which arguably saw him play the best basketball of his career.
We know King James is ready to hold court in L.A. But nobody ever truly knows what feat he will perform next.
