Oh and if statistics don't lie, how are his shots going in? Almost 56% FG for a season and 40% from three?? He's plenty talented.

He was not mental tough before I'll completely give you that. But he has grown and changed. His game is as complete a game as there has ever been.
I think you're drinking the kool aid too much. He only has a "complete" game because he's allowed to. He gets away with much more than your average player who's TRYING to play better. The leniency seems to somehow relate to how profitable a player is off the court

He's not the only one. You see a big jump in FTA's under the current Stern Gestapo than prior. Not to mention the greats of yesteryear had to earn their keep with less fouls...and they still put up better numbers.

LeBron is great, but no where near the greatest.
