    Lebron James tinkering with new signature move.

    not sure if you guys read this, but LeBron has been working this offseason on a few moves down in the post, including Kareem's Sky Hook!

    Quote Originally Posted by ESPN View Post
    It is becoming apparent that LeBron James won't rest until he's channeled every Hall of Famer's signature move.

    Last year it was Hakeem Olajuwon's "Dream Shake." This year it seems that James wants to add Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook.

    That shot was devastating enough to make that Hall of Famer the game's all-time leading scorer.

    James tells ESPN.com's Michael Wallace that since he plans to be down on the blocks "even more this year" that he "might as well keep getting more comfortable."

    And if developing a near un-blockable shot isn't scary enough for the rest of the NBA, James said he's still too young to know "what my signature move would be."

    That sound you hear is the clapping of Hall of Famer and Heat assistant coach Bob McAdoo.

    "To already be the best, the most unstoppable player in the game, and still put this kind of work in to pick up little moves here and there to make him even better shows you the kind of great player LeBron is," said McAdoo, who averaged 22.1 points a game and who played against Abdul-Jabbar. "...There's a lot more to it than shooting 3-pointers and athletic dunks. When you get to a certain point, it's about doing whatever you can to complete your game, to have something else to go to when entire teams try to take something else away."

    for a guy that doesn't necessarily have a signature move, i really do like it.

    What moves do you guys think he should work on?

    Miami Marlins- (10-24) When will the suffering end?

    me personally, I like the fact that he is broadening his game in the post, but at the same time, I really hope he improves his FT shooting.

    I would also like him to improve his shooting from beyond 12 ft. But i would be happy with a different set of post moves as well as improved ft shooting.

    I know LeBron worked with Hakeem, but I didn't see much of the dream shake from him. Maybe he should work on that move more before moving on to another move.

    But have to respect the guy for expanding his game.

    He shot 73% from the FT line for the playoffs, but I feel he got better as the playoffs progressed. I think he shot something like 82% in the Finals??

    Correct me, some of my percentages may be a little off.

    Tim Duncan's bank shot.

    The backboard will help neutralize the power in his shots.
