What is your definition of finesse though ? Finesse would be things like footwork, soft hands finishing nicely at the basket with a layup or dunk, getting through guys knowing where to go in a smooth manner, using your picks well etc....
He has all that, and that's exactly why he's so good, there are plenty of guys in the NBA his size and strength they just dont have that extra edge that Lebron has.
I totally agree with you though on power, he is a running back and plays like a running back when he drives the lane tucks the basketball like a RB would a football when smashing through the defensive line.
But once he gets to the hoop he can finesse layup over or around people or just dunk, up to him.
He has point guard like passing ability, sees the floor extremely well, rebounds very well, and we know he can average 35-40 a game if he wanted too. If he was skinnier like Kobe, I think the only difference in his game would be rebounding would get worse, I still think he would try to penetrate strong like he does now

Don't get me wrong, I never said he sucks..of course he's got talent.
But to me..(maybe I just don't see a lot of heat games lately) but I rarely see him post up/fade away (like how MJ does..i enjoy watching the D try and block it.).. When I catch a glimpse of their games, all I see is him take 3s and dunks....I rarely hear about him being "clutch" too.
Again, these are just my opinion so please don't hate... lol
Everyone just lets him do whatever he wants when he drives down the lane as that freight train would hurtttt tt..
As for your guess that he will still take it strong..i guess we will never find out.. but I don't think he'll be as effective. Sorry LBJ fans!!!
Anyway..i don't want to get too deep on this as the LBJ fans here will rip me to pieces hahah..
Go Lakers
