Pretty cool getting some advice from the GOAT. I guess it worked!
No, that was not something that related to game 2 or the preceding game prep.Wonder if MJ told him on a fast break to block shots out of bounds or to fellow teammates?
If cutting down on aimless dribbling and making better decisions are the objectives, the fourth quarter of that game last night wasn't a good start. Change the uniform colors and it could have been Maryland or Creighton on the other side.Hearing that Jordan told him to non productive dribble less and pass more. They think James has passing skills but he needs to be less careless with the ball. Ultimately, they expect him to put together some winning minutes for the team in the time they are giving him. They are going to give him minutes and it’s up to James to be prepared and at least give them some “+”minutes for team and ultimately some wins.
Saying it and playing it are two different things. It won’t be a light switch, although newspaper sports stories are written that way. If it happens, it will be a gradual process. He will be transitioning from his “handlers” to basketball people who played in “The League” and coaches, who will be more impress with better assist/turnover numbers than “The Showtime” talk. Two years from now, we will know if it happened. Hopefully, we see progress throughout this season, but it will be 2 steps forward and one step backwards. It also matters who is defending him. On the positive side, Chief heard the Hornets think the 29% 3pt % last season vs. the lights out NBA Combine 19 in a row is trending favorably.If cutting down on aimless dribbling and making better decisions are the objectives, the fourth quarter of that game last night wasn't a good start.
