 Small Forward: LeBron James

Whether he likes it or not, if LeBron James wants to continue to dominate at an All-World level, he might need to consider moving to power forward over the course of the next couple of seasons. But for right now, he is still going to dominate at the small forward position.

LeBron is still going to be an All-World player at small forward, but as he gets older, it is wise that he makes the move to the 4 to use his quickness to burn fellow power forwards every night.

With LeBron at small forward, you will get a runaway freight train in transition who will blow by his man and get to the rim at will. You will get a player capable of backing down anyone in the post and using his array of post moves to get to the rim. Not to mention you get a 6″8 point forward, who is one of the best passers the NBA has ever seen.

LeBron is still one of the best players in the entire National Basketball Association. He has received a lot of criticism this offseason, regarding his hunger to win, whether he came to Los Angeles for the right reasons and if he is still a top 5 player in the NBA anymore.

A pissed off LeBron James is a motivated LeBron James, you might just wish you didn’t awaken a sleeping giant.
