"LeBron doesn't play defense" narrative destroyed

By every metric LeBron still ranks at the top of the league defensively and has so for the past decade
You morons want to cherrypick a couple of possessions and create this stupid narrative that LeBron is some garbage defender. It is bs
Its crazy LeBron has become the most underrated defender in NBA history

Very informative video on probably the GOAT perimeter defender
Re: "LeBron doesn't play defense" narrative destroyed
Didn't watch.
Don't need to waste my time watching some dipshit on YouTube clinging to the past.
Anyone with semi-functioning eyes can tell you that Lebron has been a total bum on defense for a few years now.
It is what it is.
Accept it and move on with your stupid life.

You're not very smart.

dumb contrarian hot takes farming clicks from naive plebs and desperate stans like the OP
Re: "LeBron doesn't play defense" narrative destroyed
that was the dumbest video ever. lebron cheats on defense routinely and for every one or two plays it works there 10 where it doesn't and the lakers get exposed hard. which is why they're routinely dismantled by other teams and have 120 scored on them with ease
lebron plays passing lanes, sags off, cherry picks rebounds, roams... this can attribute to some good challenges but leaves shooters wide open. and defending the 3 is more important than giving help defense near the rim
lebron is a horrible defender and OP is a ph@ggot

You don't understand basketball LeBron deliberately leaves poor shooters wide open because it's smart basketball to let them shoot.

Great analysis . :applause: . He's not dominant anymore but his decline on that end is so exagerrated.
Re: "LeBron doesn't play defense" narrative destroyed
His man defense looks pretty average at this age, but to be expected.
Still very smart and one of the best team defenders in the league.
Re: "LeBron doesn't play defense" narrative destroyed
For someone who has to carry the scoring, playmaking and rebounding load his defense is still elite
In his prime he was leagues best man 2 man defender and rim protector
Guarded 1-5 any given night

Why did Dwight Howard drop 40 on him in elimination?
