I don't understand all the talk around the league on how Lebron James is "finally showing signs of drop" or something. First of all dude is 40 years old, if he showed signs of weakness that wouldn't be really that much of a shock lol, I mean at this point anything more than 20 minutes per game is shocking to me, at 40 years old, dude shouldn't be doing chase down blocks on last second, that's insane!
He hasn't sign of slowness in the first half, it's that when he had this shooting slump, everyone was jumping on the bandwagon that father time has caught up with him. Usually this is only seen when players game deteriorate, numbers going down like ppg and other stats. We have seen that in Lebron yet.
Secondly, dude is at almost %50 from the field, and %36 from the three, and averaging 23 points a game, with 9 dimes and 8 boards. Doing that at 40 years old? I mean you have to be insane to say that he is not doing great. Yeah he is not taking as many shots as he used to, but I feel like that's normal, maybe he realized carrying the team alone isn't possible anymore and trying to get others involved as well, trying to make the whole team better. In any case, 23-9-8 with 50-36-76 shooting at 40 years old is still unbelievable.
That's what I'm trying to say, his numbers are not going down, to let's say when Vince hit his 20th season, he can still score but it's no way similar to what he can do like 5 years ago. If we compare Lebron to his version of 5 years, there could be argument that he is better right now with that kind of stats.
