Jason Kidd Makes Bold Prediction On LeBron James’ Retirement Timeline
LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time. What makes him so awesome? LeBron has the highest basketball IQ of all players on the court. He has a photographic memory that helps him remember the location of all players on the floor during 48-minute games. LeBron says he has always had it. His teammates have always been impressed with this ability. They all wanted to know how did he remember every play. LeBron wasn’t aware of his power in high school. The 6-foot-9, 250-pounds king powers his way through defensive players using force and incredible finesse. He sees the game with different eyes, and Jason Kidd knows it best.
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers says that many NBA players have LeBron’s body, adding that none of them has his brain.
This is absolutely true. LeBron knows everything about other players and their moves. He knows the right fit for each of his teammates and predicts the moves of his rivals.
Jason Kidd makes a prediction about LeBron
Lakers’ assistant coach Kidd was a 10-time All-Star during his 19 seasons in the NBA. He defined “basketball IQ” as enjoying “an all-encompassing grasp of the game.”
LeBron has a high basketball IQ, and he remembers everything. When asked about the final play of the All-Star Game, LeBron described the tiniest detail of it. So impressive!
At this point of the season, LeBron is leading the league in assists with 10.6 a game, while averaging 25.7 points and 7.8 rebounds.
Kidd knows that LeBron would easily play a few more seasons. His basketball IQ will help him do that.
“It’s going to help him play until he’s 40,” Kidd said of LeBron. “His IQ is always going to help him because he’s going to be able to take less steps, right? Instead of running a six-mile race, he can run a five-mile race just because of his IQ.”
ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz reported that LeBron has admitted that Kidd is the only person who perceives the game of basketball with this much clarity.
Hopefully, the NBA will open the season again. We are together in this one. Let’s fight this coronavirus away.
