Who was LeBron defensive anchor?

[Manny98]

Lebron came into the league with all star defensive anchor big Z already on the team. MJ molded Pippen into the defender he became. No comparison.

MJ came into the league with Jawann Oldham, one of the greatest rim protectors the league has ever seen

Who was an all-star on MJ's team when he was a rookie? No one. Not everyone gets to have the advantage of Lebron and start off in the league with an all-star (2003 big Z) already on your team...

Pippen not only outscored the 2nd option in 5/6 finals but was a 1st team defensive 8

This is exactly what I was talking about. The more these Jordan Fan Boys speak about MJ the more his mystique is unraveled. You eventually find out that MJ was a great scorer at the elite level, but he had tons and tons of help while playing against a weak opposition. Nothing impressive about that.

Bosh I guess. And his rim protection was so bad Heat tried to bring in the likes of Greg Oden to be the savior. Routinely made Hibbert look like an all time great.

Dont forget Joel Anthony

6'9 center that cannot shoot

never even heard of this guy and yet he put up better rim protection just in that first video than any Lebron's center teammates (with the exception of this year) over the course of their entire careers

Can't shoot? I wish that was his only offensive problem. Dude could barely catch. He was lucky if he could even put a shot up.

[Ainosterhaspie]

I can't believe I'm seeing people post block stats like thats a good measure of a defender. McGee gets plenty of blocks but he's an atrocious defender because he's constantly out of position. Sells out for blocks and hurts team defense because of it. Blocks are a bad way of measuring who's a defensive anchor.

By the way, that comment shouldn't be interpreted to mean James doesn't have excellent defensive help (Davis and surprisingly a resurgent Howard) this season.

And the Bulls only had 1 good rebounder in Grant

[Duncan21formvp]

Lebron had Ben Wallace and Dwight both of which are 4x DPOY Players. He also had a 3x finals mvp winner in Shaq and league mvp winner as well as Finals Historic MVP winner in Wade.

[BallsOut]

You damn right he is

Kyle Kuzma. Look at how he anchors the defenses and even directs LeBron when he forgot to close out in his man. What a generous teacher Kyle is.

So who?
