Stephen Jackson has assessed LeBron James ahead of his first-round playoffs series against the Memphis Grizzlies.
After 20 years in the league, Jackson explains that scouting reports are starting to have an effect on the King.
“I think he at the age now where you know we used to put scouting reports in for Bron when we was playing. That s**t, he was just good enough and that strong and energetic where it didn’t work. I think now he’s at the age where he slowed down, so the scouting reports are starting to work on him. Sending him in certain ways and putting him in certain positions. He doesn’t have the energy to do it the whole game; you know what I’m saying. He might can do it the first quarter or something like that but back when we was playing, he can do it and he can outthink the double teams and all this s**t and still be able to be effective but now I don’t think he’s at the age we can still have the energy to force himself to get through all that.”

Again, this is starting to happen after 20 years in the league. This shows how incredible LeBron has been during his tenure in the association. Over the years, his game has evolved, and fans have even debated which is the best version of James.
He’s still going strong, and even though defenders appear to have an ‘easier’ job against the King, is still hard to stop him.
Lamar Odom Calls LeBron James The ‘God Of Basketball’
While Jackson talks about LeBron’s level at 38, Lamar Odom had big praise for the 4x NBA champion. The former Los Angeles Lakers player called LeBron the ‘God of basketball,’ naming him the reason why the Lakers have a chance to win it all this season.
Odom also talked about Tristan Thompson signing with the Purple and Gold, surprisingly calling him a good addition to his former team.
The Lakers start their playoffs journey today, keen to make a statement and beat the young Memphis Grizzlies.
