How Playoff LeBron James Has Evolved Over The Years | DeMar & PG

I played against the the Miami Brawn you had your moments when you were in Toronto against the Cleveland Brown when you watch him now like how do you see him evolve or or how did he evolve to you when his IQ has just always been which set set him apart from you know from everything you know the way he read the game dictate the game control the game and it necessarily never have to be with scoring you know um I think this Brian is being more of the IQ for everybody than before because you know like you said the Miami Brian that [ __ ] was incredible you know I mean same same as Cleveland but at any given moment he could turn it off turn it on and get you 45 right get a win right or go out there and get you a 40-point triple double get you a win you know whatever it may be I think this time around he's he's trusting and using so much of an IQ um to dictate the game and win a game like just the other night like I've never seen him not attempt to field goal first quarter you know what I mean but it is it made such a big impact on the game and they they got the win so um his IQ just being first and foremost um being imputed on a game is something that I'm definitely seeing different from him I know he's been getting praise rightfully so but he's been getting praised especially on like the social media [ __ ] with his ability to to recognize plays and yeah you know remember plays and [ __ ] and when I was when I was watching and I'm like all right like that's a back screen that your top switch Yeah like so Brian ain't really but then I was thinking about it like damn there was moments where he would call [ __ ] out when we plant them yeah or he'll be like he'll like he'll just blow up the whole play like nah it's going over there it's going over there yeah and you be like wait so LeBron be knowing the all the plays yeah he he knows the plays bro he knows his play is down to a T and he knows your plays down to a t how many plays do you guys actually have because when I watch the game it's mostly pick and roll like there's actions going on but like you know out of a timeout or out of out of bounds I know there's probably some plays and some coaches are X and O's or some not but it do you how many plays would you say like we got a lot I ain't a lot we got a lot then also within plays you have so many different options out of that one play right you know what I mean that you could you could attack and you expose the defense with you know I mean I think you know you try to go over teams three to four key sets and throughout that you know the smart smart guys that's why you look at a like you know what Rondo was playing Rondo could run the screen and roll and kill you to [ __ ] death with it you know I mean it's just a screen to roll but he understands every element out that screen of road that he could expose the defense with you know I mean I think you know you don't have that that many high IQ players in the in the lead I could dictate the game like that um in today's game so different you know I mean but yeah yeah but when it comes to Brian knowing that you know he he he he definitely know to a t because he also know people Tendencies too you know I didn't know very well like once you understand and know guys Tendencies it's easier to cut off certain options in in box uh uh offense in you know I mean and now and that's that's what he's great at you know I mean so um it's just dope I mean you see it like just so you was talking about the hammer play that he cut off yeah last game you know what I mean it's like you know many people wouldn't catch on to that right right like they'll try to fight over that try to fight over it give up the eve the easiest three for clay even either three or the layup right the other guys that stink in the NBA yeah yeah that stinks and be like I didn't know it was coming right right I was looking at the ball and some guy screamed me but they just think like oh I just I gotta guard my guy like that [ __ ] they don't have the whole like concept of like shutting the whole floor down like I would not want to defend the Warriors they're just constantly moving around yeah it's like it's tough It's too tough especially when you have the two greatest Shooters of all yeah and they don't stop moving around like it's in clay I mean was making threes yesterday I'm so impressed with Clay's ability to catch and shoot like he doesn't bring it down he it's and it's it's there's no time for you to guard that but Demar speaking of uh Lebron Peter talks about this play when he was in Indiana that he remembers the most and I'm not going to have you explain it again but there was a play I think it was a game winner where P was kind of being lazy on defense of some sort and it happened real quick because that no I would it's not had that rumor started that people okay he just remembers a play the layup yeah okay so was you being lazy on defense or no do you remember oh you gotta think it wasn't even him being lazy because I was too on to play like yeah because Brian just cut the play off as soon as he caught it because P was on the top side of him okay and he just you know what I mean like but that's us as basketball players and knowing Tendencies like when you're a great offensive player when you gotta feel like you're gonna attack it right away and that's all Brian did you know what I mean okay he didn't do nothing wrong I'll take it back he just was on the top side as soon as Brian caught it he went right away you know what I mean like it that play haunts me bro like that's that's one play that like damn I wish I could take that [ __ ] back right now because it it was I think he was supposed to go right like and I was trying to jam him I was trying to blow the play up first and then Jam them on the catch so he couldn't use that space and eat that up it's only a couple seconds so I was trying to make it work by that time low man comes over pull over for the help side he caught that [ __ ] so fast and it was once once he once he in front of you you can't get in front of that but my question is do you have a play kind of similar to that maybe during those Raptors Cav series a play that really stuck out too when playing them I think the play that that sticks out to me is game game three my last year and um Toronto we were full court shot the one-legged floater and made it that was it that was like the end of my time in Toronto like that was it you know I mean we was down 3-0 obviously we lost game four but I just remember because I was out the game and I just remembered him shooting that one leg floater and they going in and I was just like [ __ ] this is this is it here you know what I mean like it was it was it that one that that one hung me for sure that one I think he put me away too man I think Dallas because he played I think we played them first round got whooped up and then and then they played y'all I think that second round no when we played y'all in the playoffs no no I'm saying that same year because that was your last year yeah my last year yeah 2017 2017 yeah yeah yeah yeah see that was he that was my last time he ended he got me up out of here too [ __ ] yeah y'all both were struggling hey they swept us 4-0 yeah we swept too yeah Jackie did you see what Meek Mill posted the other day nah Dennis I'm in playoff mode
