Who guards LeBron the best: Kawhi Leonard or Shawn Marion?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I know MJ could dominate these two but which beta does better locking down this choke artist?

[Optimus Prime]

JJ Barea

[russwest0]

Boris Diaw.

[TheReal Kendall]

HM to Jimmy Buckets.

I only remember two guys that gave MJ hell:

John Starks
Gary Payton

Neither of them defeated MJ though.

neither

I know it's lame but "team defense" is more effective to contain a player like lebron.
But individually i'd say it's between kawhi and jimmy butler. I'd choose jimmy butler, but again with help from the other 4 guys.

Neither.

Guarding Lebron is a team job.

HM to Jimmy Buckets.

Where did the nickname Jimmy buckets come from? One would think it implies he is an explosive scorer but that's exactly what he is not.

Stacey King used to call him that, the analist and ex bull player.
