Thus sayeth the Jon Barry.
I like LeBron's game, but this is just laughable.
I stopped watching halftime shows with Jon Barry. I also stopped watching ESPN shows with Jon Barry. Furthermore, if he happens to be an analyst for a game, i'll mute it. He believes he's so certain most of the time, and he ends up looking like a fool. Also, he has an obvious issue with the Spurs. He's "Tired" of the Spurs.
JB is lame.
God, Barry used to provide decent comments but now he's just a tool.
when every player plays their absolute best defense, then I don't think there is a question that Lebron is the best defender in the NBA. he is simply too big, quick, fast, and strong for anyone. but he rarely plays at that level, because he needs the energy for offense, unlike guys like Bowen or Posey who don't do on offense other than hitting an occasional three or set a pick.
if i wanted one guy to defend Kobe for one last shot of a game, I would want Lebron on him. his level of athleticism and versatility is unmatched by anyone in NBA history.
he does a lot of hustle plays too. he has something like 17 blocked break-away layups, or something insane like that. i think the next closest is like 4 or something.
It was actually Mark Jackson that said that, who like averaged 2 points a game in his career, terrible analyst
Jon Barry hasn't changed with his style and commentary from a few years ago when he was sucking on the Spurs' penis. Not too many complaints from Spurs fans back then.
Nope. You just liked him back then because he was pro-Spurs.
I don't understand the comedy in this. He is the best. He blocked a 360 dunk
From what I could recall, Jon Barry has always hated the Spurs. He was one of the lead in calling the Spurs boring, and was so ridiculously pro Suns back in the day. We must have been watching different Barrys.
You weren't watching Barry in the 2007 playoffs, that's for sure.
No, I liked him because he had some objective takes a few years back. Him being on the Spurs bandwagon was just lame.
best man to man perimeter defender in the NBA = Paul Pierce
Who's a better defender?
Pierce is the one guy who consistently frustrates Kobe and Lebron.
Everyone says the Spurs are boring. Not just him. Unfortunately the Hornets have become even more boring this season.
Mark Jackson was the one who said that. Jon Barry actually said Dwayne Wade and Kobe Bryant were neck and neck.
I don't know if LBJ is the best defender in the NBA, but I've seen him guard Tony Parker and Chris Bosh and do a damn good job on both. He has a LOT of versatility in terms of who he can cover.
He doesnt. its a team effort. those guys have some damn good rotations and timely double teams, and clog driving lanes before bron and kobe have a chance to get through them. hes not a bad defender, but at his best, hes definitely not as good as Lebron or Kobe playing their best defense.
thats cause he has a wall behind him. its not that he is great. he just has help ready. one on one defensee kobe is the best , but that rarely happens. he gets picked off and that about ends one on one defense
Pierce didn't start consistently frustrating LeBron until he got some help behind him. The first few years LeBron was in the league he torched Pierce and the Celtics with regularity. And he still torches Pierce regularily at the Q.
My bad. =\ I was sure Jon said it.
So when he's allowed to crab dribble he torches them, big deal.
Bring something to the table besides hate, DoK. I know you're capable of it.
OK, but hating is so much fun
And yeah Pierce does need help from the big men against Lebron, but tell me who doesn't?
