LeBron James and the Triangle Offense…
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is defying the laws of aging by playing high-level basketball at 40–he must have discovered the secret fountain of youth in his backyard! James invests a fortune in maintaining his body, and it’s paying off as he continues to join the GOAT conversation. Tracy McGrady believes that in a parallel universe where LeBron played the triangle offense, he’d undoubtedly be the GOAT. McGrady’s idea of an all-mighty LeBron in the triangle has us imagining a superhuman, like LeBron with eight arms, each with a championship ring.
The triangle offense, famously perfected by Phil Jackson with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, could have added new dimensions to LeBron’s game. During his early days, LeBron’s game wasn’t built on a reliable jump shot, but it was on flashy slam dunks that could send basketballs into orbit! Yet it was his exceptional court vision that could’ve elevated him in this strategic system. Of course, Magic Johnson has chosen Michael Jordan as the GOAT, sticking to his classic MJ choice as if choosing the last slice of his favorite pizza flavor.
