LeBron chest-to-chest blocks

[dubeta]

This is what seperates LeBron from other star perimeter players, his interior defence, allowing his team to play him at the 4

He doesnt need to gamble and steal the ball, but can block you mano e mano

not 6 foot point guards, but legit Centers, doesnt hide from the paint

Confirmed chest-to-chest blocks
















LeBron doesnt inflate his block totals by blocking unathletic 6 foot point guards like some others. But legit 7 footers

2nd is a foul.

Those blocks are mostly from Lebron's young days - Last year, Lebron was a bad defender and looked very slow.. i.e. Paul George's message to Lebron: bye-bye to Lebron!







It's just like MJ showing that truly quick guards were still a mismatch for Rodman: bye-bye Rodman!!






Here's Lebron getting posterized 12 MORE TIMES by various players:

Lebron getting posterized all the time demonstrates his below-average lateral quickness for a guard, below-average 0-60 speed for a guard, below-average quickness in short distances for a guard, and most notably, how slow he is off his feet - he's a slow leaper compared to many of his peers who got dunked on a lot less.

These are all mostly from the last 2 years

Every single one was from his Miami days....


Lebron is a foward not a guard.

[Fudge]

Most overrated defender of all-time.

Why then does Lebron average the same amount of blocks for his career as Larry Bird, when his athleticism is all-time elite?

Dr J at least averaged 1.5 blocks in the NBA. Jerry West as a SG had 0.7 blocks at age 35, when they first starting recording blocks and steals.

Dwayne Wade averages 1 block for his career at SG. Meanwhile, Lebron is at 0.8, same as Bird was for his entire career.

first i was like, Why am i seeing this post, isn't op blocked? Then i realized i wasn't logged in.

Then op made me remember why he is blocked



op posting blatant fouls as chest to chest blocks.

Ain't nice to be able to jump into you opponent without consequence, almost as nice as being gifted 3 n

Is this a confirmed block? Looks like a foul with the hand in the chest.



Looks more like he's coming from behind than chest to chest.



Looks like another foul. He grabs Chandler by his left shoulder preventing him from going up. Did this go un-called?



Isn't George Hill a 6 foot point guard?

[nzamcdza]

Blocking shots is the more spectacular part of LeBron's defense but it is not the reason he is a good defender.

He has good lateral speed, very storing and can D nearly anyone up 1 on 1 through all 5 spots.

lebron takes off from the charge circle, and lands well inside it, so how did he jump into chandler?.

I don't know maybe because he jumped into chandler?

Are you vision impaired? Make small contact with his hand? Dude he hits Chandler with his full body, Chandler is going up and all the sudden he isn't.

Next time try to clean Lebron jizz from your eyes before posting

chandler commits an offensive foul by pushing off with his off hand himself.

Are you this stupid?

[Warfan]

I remember this, bron pulled down chandler's left arm but you cant tell from this angle.
