I'll choose the time, place and inquisitor when I decide to take an exam.
Doesn't his versatility (which is unparalleled in NBA history) make him elite?
Magic was a versatile defender but nobody would call him elite.
Well, that's the point. Lebron, unlike Magic, can guard everyone from Tony Parker to DeAndre Jordan without much struggle
The way he talking, you'd swear he shut down prime Shaq or prime Isaiah Thomas (two of the most prolific scorers at their positions in NBA history). -100 points for basically bragging about being able to guard DeAndre Beastmode Jordan and Darren DPG-height Collisn. Where was that lockdown defense when you and Tammy led our country to 3rd place, LeBr
nze?

There wasn't a question in that
Kobe had over 30 in that game next to CP3. What should have been![]()
As he should, those are not difficult defensive assignments. LeBron is a matchup nightmare, not a defensive expert. I believe an elite defender is the difference between Shaq and Duncan on defense. Shaq simply had the tools to cause difficulty while Duncan used his limited ability to such a high level of expertise he made up for his lack of physical prowess.
If Lebron was more than a fast & strong player on defense, the Heat would not have difficulty against the Pacers.
Hibbert's size is the reason the Heat struggle against the Pacers not LeBrons defense.
Tho I will admit, I'm not impressed by LeBrons defense at the 4 at all, he doesn't use his strength like he should.
Hibberts size and George's ability requires the Heat to take care defending him. He was their leading scorer on average efficiency. He does not appear to be a player who can outdo an elite defender.
lol Like Kobe isn't a stat padding knick knack chasing got. Dude wants every award, thinks it will make him like Mike.
He's got one thing in common with Mike right now though, both are sitting during the games and both teams are ty but Kobe has him beat in the tiness.
Lebron is an above average defender but I wouldn't say great. There has been times when Lebron has gotten lit up. I remember a year ago Channing Parsons dropped over 30 on him in a game. Also Lebron shouldn't brag about shutting down big men who are offensive stiffs like Deandre Jordan. Lebron brags about guarding Griffin for stretches but I like to see Lebron guard an all-star big for 40 minutes. He would get lit up real bad if he attempted it.
OP what color fleshlight is your Valentines date?
MJ's dad killing record will always stand a record of his own though.
Just think, the two most untouchable gots amongst these farmers teamed up for Olympic Bronze. That's some funny . You'd swear that Kobe (2/2 - winning nothing but gold twice; no Silver, no Bronze) was some scrub the way these farmers talk ill of him. And for good measure, 5 > 4 > 2. Carry on, I guess.![]()
lol doesnt deserve to win it if his not going to go out and put in the effort to earn it
when he wins games, he says his coasting
when his losing games, he says his coasting
if its too easy to win games, he needs to explain why the down year in stats and the teams margin isnt that great?
James is still the best overall basketball player on this planet at the moment, no doubt about it, but at the same time he's also overrated, not just in defense but on both ends of the floor. Dude's defense isn't very far above the average level, and his offensive game is also limited (especially when it come to crunch minutes). Like, when I'm playing basketball video games I'd rather have a Dirk or Durant on my team as my primary score for the last few minutes because the opposing team usually have no solution to Dirk or Durant. Just give them the ball when they're within their shooting range (preferably at the low-post or somewhere near the FT line) and press the shooting button, two points scored. Meanwhile, you just need the right defender (like the 11' Marion) to shut down someone like Lebron, and that's how/why this happened...

Not LeBron's fault that Larry Brown wouldn't let him off the bench, tbh....
Speaking of -stained Olympic performances, how about Kirby shooting 4-13 against a bunch of starving Angolans?![]()
How about Manu, dragging a 3rd world country to the Gold kicking and screaming.
But but but he The Kang. The Chosen One. We're all Witnesses. Etcetera etcetera. Dem FIBA refs wouldn't bow down to him PERIOD. Just like Tammy. LB rightfully played his best players. Results? Bronze. Him and Tammy are supposed to be these great leaders. They couldn't even lead our country to Silver. it. Let's start calling him LBM (LeBronze Medal). That stain on his legacy is just like a Loose Bowel Movement.![]()

Gold > Bronze. Therefore...
Manu > Tammy
