    Default Jordan Gives the Blueprint on Stopping Lebron Defensively

    I study him," Jordan says.

    When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. "So if I have to guard him," Jordan says, "I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right."

    For the rest of the game, when LeBron gets the ball and starts his move, Jordan will call out some variation of "drive" or "shoot."


    Jordan's mental edge and bball IQ would eat everybody alive in this generation like in his.

    Jordan is a top 3 perimeter defender of all time and has a toughness and fierceness defensively that NOBODY in the game today has had. I'm very confident Jordan could lock Lebron up as well as anybody. He would still perform decent but he would have a hell of a time.

    I think Jordan and Pippen would both give Lebron the worst time of his life defensively. Both have the length, strength and athleticism to take away a lot of his game.

    Jordan's arguably the greatest perimeter player of all time. I'm not even being a homer.

    You're also forgetting Lebron's first step isn't elite. He's a marathon runner, not an exploder. Another thing Jordan could expose.

    Prime vs prime. Obviously Jordan couldn't even hope to guard ANY star player now.

    Im not mad. I just think its silly to act like Jordan is dropping knowledge by describing the most basic defensive strategy vs. a right handed player.

    I never meant to imply it was revolutionary. More just interesting to hear somebody like Jordan comment on it. Plus he went into a little more detail that "force him left". Most guys aren't able to but Jordan would be able to.

    Top 3 perimeter defender of all time yes. The other top 2 are Payton and Pippen.
