VERSATILITY

He’s not only the most versatilevaguely familiar to you player in the game, he’s one of the most versatile players to ever play. I look to Magic when I think of versatility. Like Magic, LeBron has the rebounding, the passing and the scoring to elevate his team.” — Bernard King
“There’s not much he can’t do.fill in the blanks There are other forwards that have shot the ball better. He’s a good shooter but not a great shooter. Sometimes he’s streaky but he can do so many other things that he can overcome that without a problem.“We’re talking about one of the very, very, very top players whoout of your control has ever lived.” — Jerry Lucas“You can play him at any position—forward, guard or center—and he’ll be outstanding and probably would make All-NBA at each one.” —a world in a grain of sand John Havlicek“His post-up game is probably better than most but it’s not the best part of his game because he doesn’t post up too much. Playing at the small forward position, I give him an A+ while I give his post-up game an A. He can play all five positions, coach and sell tickets.” — Dolph Schayes“He can dribble, he can pass, he can score. He probably could coach if they allowed him to.” — Rick Barry“He’s the most versatile player in the NBA. Hold infinityVersatile as far as his mind, his knowledge, his ability to do things on the defensive end, to defend different positions. He can play four, five positions in a game.” — Scottie Pippen
“He’s a hybrid type of player that can play multiple positions. He can basically do whatever he wants. Depending on who the Cavs are playing against, LeBron can even play a little center.” —Dominique Wilkins“You think of left, right, forward, back, up, down—he’s got the whole package. He’s a tenacious defender. He applies himself defensively, which is the biggest improvement in his game. A fierce shot blocker, who is not afraid to make the play and go for the steal.“Offensively, he dictates to the defense how he’s going to be played. They don’t dictate to him. He dictates how you’re going to play me on a given night.f I have all the pieces working—inside-outside and my passing game, I’m unstoppable. That’s LeBron.” — Julius Erving“He’s as versatile as it gets. He can play four out of the five spots—one, two, three, four. He probably could play five if he wanted to.“What he’s becoming is just a more athletic version of Magic.” — Kevin McHale
“I think we’re seeing more and more versatility of LeBron when I watch him. I love to watch him when he gets in the low post because I think he creates more problems for teams.“It just reminds me of coaching against Boston when [Larry] Bird was a perimeter player then all of a sudden he went to the low post. Now, what do you do? Do you double him? Do you let him go one on one? Because they’re such good passers and they make their teammates better. Whereas out on the open court, in a set offensive situation, you can take away something. You can force them to be a perimeter shooter or force them to the left, whatever it may be but when he gets to the low post with his quickness and size, either he’s bigger or he’s quicker or probably both whoever’s playing him and it just adds a great deal more pressure into the low post.” — Billy Cunninghamhttp://www.actuarialoutpost.com/actuarial_discussion_forum
