LeBron chest-to-chest blocks

[3ball]

some of ya'll get angry as hell if somebody tries to highlight something good about lebron

Good?... Lebron averages less blocks than Larry Bird and gets dunked on a super-ton.

Last year, Lebron was a bad defender - look how slow Paul George makes him look:







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






Here's Lebron getting "chest-to-chest" posterized 12 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..

you is obsessed tho'

MJ is also a superior blocker than Bron, plain and simple.

[SHAQisGOAT]

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.

OP getting owned All throughout the thread.

Bird blocked point guards

Meh, Wade was better, probably blocked more big men too.

Lebron was more famous for his chase down blocks

[nathanjizzle]

3 time loser.

[andgar923]

What are you laughing at?

MJ has had more seasons with over 1 block per game and he's a guard.

Stay mad

GOAT gonna GOAT

[dubeta]

People are so mad

No other star had the same amount of chest-to-chest blocks against bigs

MJ's wiry frame and below average upper body strength prevented him from getting anything close to these blocks

Kobe gambled too much on defense, didn't give effort, even according to Phil Jackson


Only Wade is in the conversation in terms of chest-to-chest blocks

[sportjames23]

Lebron getting blocked by a midget. Can any ATG ever claim this happened to them?

[dubeta]

his most famous chase down block

Nate Robinson is a physical beast, I'm not impressed

[TheReal Kendall]

Op getting crushed.

[ArbitraryWater]

The detractors in here are ****ing hilarious...

All of those in the OP were legit blocks, although one of them came from the side...

The one on Turiaf hit home aswell.

Nothing from behind, weak side, etc.

Chest to Chest, Body to Body, Face to Face, Man to Man....

Next toughest would be Chasedown Blocks from behind.
