Patrick Beverely says guarding LeBron is "not hard at all"

[Draje]

When he said not guarding he meant in one on one halfcourt situations. Bron also calls for pick n rolls every play in the half court and that results in switches.

What Dudley is saying is that between the fast break points, free throws, and pick n rolls, LeBron can score 30 in a game and as his primary defender you'll feel good cause he might have only score 5 points on you physically.

Compare that to Kobe and KD who are primarily isolation scorers who rarely call for picks, when they score 30, a good 20 of those will come right in your face with them knocking down jumpers.

This is why LeBron can score all those points but none of his NBA peers ever put him in the best scorer discussion. Bron scores through smoke and mirrors compared to guys like Kobe and KD.

lebron has been one of the top isolation scorers in the league for years. Can we stop this?

Lol, you must follow some sort of one drop theory if you think I'm white

Typically when someone says ball hog in a basketball discussion its a white boy. Especially one who never played sports.

If you're not white then you should probably stop talking like one.

And hows THAT been working out for ole Patrick

He’s 6’1

I know it doesn’t work on Kawhi

You know what you just exposed me. I legally changed my name to Karume so people would.think I'm black.

 

[Swagnificent]

And to.think I always thought basketball was a team game

It is. But if we're talking individual excellence, the players will respect the guys with the most individual skill. Not the guy who is using his teammates to cover his flaws.

If you ever played sports you would understand this.

How does contributing to the team goal not a sign of individual excellence?

If he’s so Easy to guard how come more defenses don’t just force him into iso? Surely it’s gotta be that simple right?

 

[Daio]

I love my Razorbacks but Beverly is kinda crazy. He doesn't respect anyone on the other team.

 

[LexDiamonds]

Nah he's very respected.

 

[Swagnificent]

I mean...what do you expect him to say?

"Yeah Bron's impossible to guard, he's the GOAT". No competitive person is going to say something like that after a loss

They said this about Jordan and Kobe all the time when they played. Players and coaches would say its impossible to guard Kobe and Jordan and the key to winning is just to hold down the other guys.

Players revered Jordan and Kobe WHILE THEY PLAYED.

Talk to Jared Dudley and other NBA players. The fukk you asking me to stop. They're the ones who say LeBron isn't that hard to guard.

That's nice but their greatness does negate lebrons

Anytime any player makes a smearing comment or claim about Lebron, Lebron's haters are gonna roll with it as if it's gospel or etched in stone.
