Check out Kobe's defense on Wade and Lebronhad them s crying
The entire Spurs offense suffered when Lebron guarded Parker..
Even the few shots Parker made against him were desperation makes(the miracle in game 1 and the step-back 3 in game 6)..
I know you've never seen a star player guard another star(since Kobe has never done it), but it happens
ohh yes I have:
Check out Kobe's defense on Wade and Lebron
Just remember how lucky Lebron is that his legacy wasn't completely ruined in the 2013 Finals. All those desperate bricks just wouldn't fall in game 6...and then he got bailed out.
One rebound = Lebron's legacy goes to .
Now before you try to classify me as a "hater" or some such nonsense, that couldn't be further from the truth. He's not half the wizard that is Kobe Bryant. Kobe. Lebron >>>>>>> Kobe.
But MJ > Lebron.
Lebron barely even guarded Parker, and this is what happened when Lebron tried to guard Parker in the clutchUm, every Spurs fan was complaining about Parker getting killed by Lebron and trying to play hero, tbh
Stick to making Duncan gay threads, my , it's your only strength nowadays, tbh
Lebron guarded Parker for most of the key stretches in games 6&7, completely killing him, go watch the games, tbh..
Your Finals takes/predictions were probably the tiest on ST, as I've said several times
Oh yes, you talk about Games 6 and 7, when Parker was injured and was benched during crunch time because he couldn't keep up with the pace. You're a "spur fan", who's also a Miami Heat frontrunner and a Lebron stan, yet you have to nerve to call out Spur fans when they try to defend their team.Lebron guarded Parker for most of the key stretches in games 6&7, completely killing him, go watch the games, tbh..

Lebron did good on Parker, but not as great as you'd think. The team defense had a big role in slowing him down(+ the hamstring injury), especially Bosh on the double team with Bron, Parker when 100% could get by Lebron with his speed, but with Bosh right there he could either a) shoot a contested jumper(bad option) or b) pass it to an open teammate.
tl;dr - Parker did great in the finals before the injury and got by Bron on many occasions or created open shots for his teammates, when he was slowed down by the hamstring injury he became less effective and the Heat took advantage of that with Manu sucking.
The whole Miami defense was focused on shutting down Parker and making Manu/Neal/Green shoot long jumpers, just like the Spurs defense was focused on Bron and making him pass the ball up or shoot the J. We all know who the better player is, but giving Lebron full credit for everything that Miami did is blasphemous, Bosh did so much on Parker if you actually watched the series.
Excellent analysis, Heel, I also watched the finals but I think I could never see the games in such depth tbh. I'm also a Lebron fan and 's probably my favorite player outside the Mavs franchise but I find it too hard to argue against any single thing you said, tbh. Lebron also had poor moments through the finals, like when he made consecutive turnovers during crunch time in game 2 (or game 3, I'm not sure), and he was lucky to get away with a good result imho. He was the top performer of the series, no doubt, but it didn't mean he had somehow replaced MJ as the GOAT. He look so damn good during the finals because the opposing team's stars all played bad... manu played like an ass throughout the series, parker was injured for the last two or three games while Duncan missed two easy layups in a vital game.
How do you like the latest chapters of my novel btw? I was literally having a hard time moving my hand off my while writing those chapters, tbh.
Truth but Harlem has LeBron voiding his vision. HH knows hoops but when LeBron comes in to play he is like a Kobe fanboi plus that cat used "we" referring to Heat in a Rox thread dude ain't even a Spur fan no more ...lost a little respect for hh he was in my top 5 posters all time list.
Awesome post
Would shut all this myth about lebrons defense on Parker
he just moved the goalposts from Lebron didn't guard Parker to
Lebron only guarded Parker when he was hurt
It's common knowledge that Miami's defense struggled immensely to cover Parker until Lebron made the switch..obviously team defense helps, it's a team sport
From NBA.com:
Asking LeBron James to defend Tony Parker for any extended length of time has been a dangerous proposition for Spoesltra. It’s not quite the same as pointing James in the general direction of a Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant and yelling, ‘Go’. Parker won’t simply attack you off the dribble and use high pick-and-rolls. The moment it became clear James was going to spend some time on Parker in Game 6, the Spurs immediately went into marathon mode.It was an important moment in last night’s game that this didn’t work. Not only did James keep pace with Parker, he also jumped the final screen and cut off the passing lane entirely. There’s no telling exactly how much an early possession like this has on later play calling, but the Spurs didn’t put James in this situation very much for the rest of the night. You can try to wear James out, but if you’re killing half of your shot clock every time you do it there might not be much value to be had.
While James only defended Parker for a handful of possessions in the first half, he picked him up halfway through the third quarter and stayed there for much of the duration. And what James really shut down was the Parker isolation game that had tortured the HEAT in Game 5, as Parker scored about 16 points on 11 isolations. James isn’t an auto-block when asked to guard a smaller, quicker point guard, but Parker had nowhere to go.The exception to this came in the final minute of regulation when Parker hit a monumentally tough step-back three over the arms of James, but there was a reason Parker was taking that shot in the first place. And once the HEAT tied the game on Ray Allen’s second-chance three – an opportunity earned by Chris Bosh’s offensive rebound – James kept pace with Parker full-court and took his team to overtime as Parker ran himself out of bounds.
James giving Parker so few places to go had the expected detriment on the Spurs offense. Parker wound up standing in the corner, just to get James away from the ball and give Parker a break, more often than we’ve seen before in this series, and without its primary playmaker in position to make plays, the Spurs had just three assists on 14 second-half field-goals. Parker finished 6-of-23.
A quick Google search displays many links of discussion of Lebron's defense on Parker in games 6&7..I know you watched the games, since I remember your atrocious predictions/takes when the Spurs were up 3-2, tbh..
Btw, your 1st video has Lebron guarding Parker for only 2 ing plays and the 2nd video has Lebron only guarding Parker once
Basically, MJ is trying to be humble and polite to all of you Lebron nut huggers. As an owner he owes it to the league but in private I know he's far from being polite when compared to Lebron. I'd imagine it would go something like this...
Lebron nuthugger: Hey Mike... you think you could beat Lebron?
MJ: Listen here lil ... I got more talent in my left nut than three Lebrons combined... get the outta here yo. Aye... Kobe you hear this .
Kobe: Ha ha ha ha... getting dunked on in his own camp... where da ho's at?
