How do you stop LeBron James? It’s a question that thousands of basketball players, coaches, and scouts have spent years trying to answer. And for the most part, they have been unsuccessful.

An 8-year-old Hawks fan thinks he’s got it all figured out, though. Recently, he checked out a book about LeBron from the library at his school and learned that, at one time or another, LeBron had his strengths and weaknesses listed on LeBronJames.com. It doesn’t appear as though they’re listed there anymore, but just in case the Hawks want to scour the site for clues, the boy put together this letter for Atlanta head coach Mike Budenholzer:

We don’t know how helpful this actually is, but it sure is cute. It’s also a reminder that all kids should spend less time in front of the TV and more time in the library. Who knew the secret to shutting down LeBron was hidden there this whole time?!
