LeBron's Post-Up Game Is Breaking Down, Here's Why Embiid Fixes It

LeBron's post-up game just didn't mature enough early in his career, and now when he goes to it late in games, the footwork isn't always there. He leans on brute strength, puts a shoulder into the defender, but doesn't elevate high enough, so shots get blocked or he's complaining to the refs.⁣

Some of those turnovers were him trying to force feed Ayton, who just couldn't catch the ball cleanly. You could see the frustration on LeBron's face in real time.⁣

But watch the pass to Jackson Hayes. That's a good look, finished nicely. Now picture Embiid in that same spot, cleaning up the misses and finishing even more viciously. That's the fix. #shorts
