In 2012 he had something to prove, I don't understand why he doesn't play with this level of intensity night in night out.

LeBron was an elite defender in Cleveland before tho.
Unfortunately for Cleveland, trying more on defense is gonna hurt him on the offensive end, and his legacy is hinging on more MVPs and better stats.
He got away with playing shitty defensive in Miami to preserve his 60% FG and play like crazy offensively.

Lebron just teasing the gay bois. He will kick it into his actual gear come march. He is just being Wade like at the moment wanting people to doubt him and light a fire under him.

And who's gonna light a fire under the 35-win team playing alongside this fired-up LeBron?

Decent college freshman
Re: Lebron used to be an elite defender
Most these plays just look like he's either fouling or some dummy is running into him while he's been standing there for like a day.

So Melo is a dummy?
I would actually agree, but aren't you a knicks fan?

2011 and 2012 he used to shut down whomever he wanted and whenever he wanted.

2013 he could also do it at times. Did a great job on Tony Parker.

No, Chandler and B-diddy are dummies.

indeed OP, he was for a couple years.. a lot lower on the chase-downs nowadays though, but at least the refs still got his back.
