“Kevin Durant, Paul George and Jayson Tatum,” Bailey answered with a smile. “I’ll say (Tracy McGrady) too. T-Mac’s in there. They create shots and put their teammates in situations they know they can succeed in. They can step up and be a leader.”
Fans questioned Bailey leaving out LeBron James, given his description of the four players he listed. They joked about James’ lack of dribble moves in isolation and penchant to drive the ball rather than take mid-range shots off the dribble. One tweeted:
“Nobody wants to model their game after (LeBron James) because he has no real s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s, moves and can’t shoot. He can’t create his own shot and step up when his team really needs him to score. All he’s good for is stat padding and choking in the clutch.”
“To be fair here, he does have one signature move,” one fan commented with James driving to the basket for a dunk.”
Ain’t nobody want to model his game to LeBron,” another added.”
Lmao no LeBron,” a third commented.
“I think it’s more because it’s pointless to try. Nobody has his build or physical attributes. Nobody modeled their game after (Shaquille O’Neal) either,” one fan commented in support of the all-time leading scorer.
“No one can be LeBron; it’s unrealistic. That’s why,” another fan agreed.
LeBron James continues dominant stretch versus Jazz
