“I’m much better than I was two or three years ago, but I still have a lot of room to improve,” James said. “Some more counterattacks, feeling the defense out a little bit more, with my back towards the basket. But I can work down there all game if need be now, and that’s something I couldn’t do just two years ago.”
That’s not really necessary. What’s required is that he shows this side from time to time, to make opponents aware it’s available. On Sunday, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra asked him to do so to settle the Heat in a hostile setting. It served that purpose, as well as the unexpected purpose of unsettling the Pacers.
“I think everybody knows how diverse my game is,” James said. “If I have to spend all game in the post, I can do that. If I have to do it on the perimeter or the mid-post, I can do that as well. I just try not to have any weaknesses on the offensive end, where teams can try to key in on one thing.”
He has diversity within his diversity, with options from every area. As West noted, “The danger is him picking us apart, so you can’t go and trap him when he’s looking right in your face, because he’s one of the best passers in the game.”
So, yes, there is danger in overreaction — overreaction that, entering Game 4 tonight, appears inevitable.
“Hey, it’s pick your poison, honestly,” James said. “If you double me, I’m going to find my shooters. If you’re going to play me one-on-one, I’m going to be aggressive and look for my shot.”
