Lebron's defense is sick

Pretty clear the Spurs can't use Parker as the initiator of the offense with Bron on him

Must work the ball around and get the favorable matchup with Leonard or Diaw who will have a small on them, just like when they played OKC

It kills me how Leonard and Diaw will end up with the mismatch when Bron is on TP but.....we don't take any advantage of it.

thats because neither of those guys can initiate the offense and you will lose if you try

the ball has to be in manu's hands

People always talk about hand checking like putting your hand on LeBron's hip would stop him. :mjlol:

Then they fail to take into account that LeBron would be able to hand check too. :gladbron:

Imagine LeBron getting to grab a smaller offensive player and basically move him wherever the hell he wanted. :banderas:

GOAT
Lebron already hand checks and it's rarely called.

the part that impresses me most is his conditioning and focus. He completely eliminates Kawhi for 45 minutes of the game, and then switches onto Tony Parker and does the same for the last 3.

He can check pgs who can't pull up from 30. Jason terry type guy would still work him. He knows he can play off of tony and use his height. Somebody like steph on the spurs would destroy Lebron.


if all he had to focus on was defense and not scoring, he could lock Curry up...but if he had to put up his regular numbers, there is no chance in hell. To guard Curry you have to extend your defense and get up into him, you can't give him airspace. Bron would kill himself expending so much energy trying to guard dude

Curry's just one of those dudes, if he's on, he's on and there is no guarding him.
