LeBron is, and always has been, a very one-dimensional player. He got exposed, badly, by the Mavericks in last year’s Finals and was a virtual non-entity in the series. His outside shot, though getting better, is a far cry from MJ’s or Kobe’s. LeBron’s game is predicated on nothing more than slashing to the basket. One dimensional players don’t win titles. LeBron is a classic example of a media-created hype player. Physically, a beast. No question. But his skills don’t even put him in the conversation with Michael, or Kobe… except by apologists like you, and a few media hangers-on.

As far as YOUR vertical jump is concerned, no one cares. So instead of sliding a credit card under your feet, now it’s only a sheet of paper. So what? Thanks for the self-promotion. Even attempting to appear athletically relevant on a site like this shows how shallow you must be. The solution for Rose is to wear a walking boot when he’s not playing or practicing. Take ALL the pressure off of the toe until it heals. I’ve had turf toe and I’m not near the athlete Rose is and it sidelined me for a long time even the little bit that I try to get out and work out.

now back to your comment and to finish my thought in relevance to yours… In a professional sports league where we got advanced scouting, literally guys (scouts) coming to an arena basically spying on the opposing team game before their team actually comes to play them… not to forget all the super overblown stats companies feeding teams all types of stats as minuscule as where the opposing players eat prior to game days….
so in an environment like that, this type of information that Rose just revealed is a gotdang goldmine to opposing team staff… they are gonna try to take advantage of this night in and night out for the rest of the season…

btw, I’ve had ligament pain in my left toe for almost 4 months now, accidentally kicked a chair stubbed the toe, and it has only gotten slightly better now approaching the 4th month…. I lost a few inches off my vertical in these 4 months because of it… turf toe might not sound major when put in comparison some of these other injuries, but for a player who relies HEAVILY on being explosive, this is gonna definitely force him to change his approach on most game nights…
I for one think it’s good for him, he needs to learn other things aside from relying on athleticism and getting to the hoop if he wants to remain in this league for a long time, everyone knows the athleticism span for NBA players takes a huge nose dive a few years into the league, even if you’re relatively healthy the whole time….
and what do players like Rose, Westbrook and John Wall have if they don’t got athleticism ? i dont even have to answer that, it’s as simple as a crapload of turnovers
