LeBron is a very good basketball player, and may one day go down as one of the best players ever. But you have to realize he is only 24 years old. He is still very young and needs to understand he is not at the point in his career where he can “make-up” moves and rules in the NBA.
MJ had the post spin where he utilized the “chicken wing” extending his non dribbling arm and pinning the defender to get an advantage, Ewing had the patented 5 steps and a shot. John Stockton held, grabbed crotches and did everything outside of murder when setting a screen.
Now LBJ wants to have a “crab dribble”. I have heard of a crab walk, which we did in gym class, but never a crab dribble. Looking at the video, it looks like 3 steps with a hesitation between steps 1 and 2. I am not sure what makes that a crab, or a dribble considering there was none.
