17-18 was the best individual season I have watched by a player ever, period

Hard to imagine the NBA without Lebron. And it’s not far away

It felt like the talent gap between LeBron and everyone else was bigger in his Miami years. That being said, if we’re in the finals and I’m picking between these two, give me the older, more seasoned LeBron

Your post title confused me at first because I thought you were talking about a 12 foot fall LeBron vs. an 18 foot tall LeBron.

Lebron was 12 ft and is now 18 ft?!!??? The true Nephilim!

I love my Cavs but I think a more accurate text in the post should be “2011-2012 Miami Heat” and “2017-2018 LeBron James” and I think that’s all that needs to be said to settle the debate.

We are 15-1 in the last 16 games and this is what we care about? 🤷🏻♂️

LeBron has never even been 7′ tall, let alone 12′ or 18′.

2018 was the single best performance from a player I have ever watched. To go through a complete mid season overhaul to end up one play away from stealing game 1 of the finals. LeBron played on a level nobody else was on.

💪2011-12 he was a physically dominant athletic freak – built like a tank. Transition offense with him and Wade flying down the court together was absurd. Defensively he could be the best and most versatile player on the floor if he felt like it. I distinctly remember him battling down low in the post with 7ft Pau Gasol on both end of the floor and it was really fun to watch. He was also starting to actually develop a post game and a three point shot, which he hadn’t really done up until then.
🧠2017-18 he was probably the smartest player I have ever seen. He’d seen and done it all multiple times, so no shot or moment was too big. He lost some athleticism by that point, and he slimmed down, so he wasn’t as physically dominant. But he could read a defense (or offense) as well as anybody I’ve seen. His passing by this point was top tier and his three point shot was decent. Even though he was past his athletic prime and not physically dominant, he was still one of the more athletic players on the court at any given time.
I think what makes this so interesting is that 2011-12 was right before the transition to the “3 point era”, and 2017-18 was well into that era. I think these two versions of LeBron came exactly when they needed to for the exact era they were playing in respectively.
