Let’s see more bully ball

LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all-time. He can score, pass, rebound and play defense, he truly is a generational player. At 6’8 250 pounds he can dominate any defender.

He is too fast for bigger guys and too strong for smaller guys. When the Lakers offense seems to be in a rut, Bron needs to take advantage of that and create more bully ball. With bully ball, you just overpower your defender and go get an easy two.

LeBron has been known to do it at times and takes full advantage of it. Shaquille O’Neal was very good at it. He just simply dominated defenders purely on strength and there was nothing they could do about it.

When games slow down later in the season this could be a great weapon. With the shooters and space the Lakers have this year, who is really going to stop LeBron one-on-one? The answer is nobody.

It may not be the most integral plan to throw at opponents. But in this game, you need easy ways to get baskets. Bully ball is something LeBron has in his arsenal and he can use it to his advantage.
