    I thought this opinion had well and truly been put to rest by now.

    We've seen he can't guard quicker guards
    We've seen he can't guard post players
    We've seen he can't guard the teams best player even when they play the same position

    He's the best in the league, great player, but stop spewing bullshit for once.

    Dude is saying that if Lebron can supposedly play center he wouldn't be getting his lunch eaten by 6'5" dudes that suck at offense like Draymond Green.

    I don't think there really is a player that can truly start at all five positions. Four is the max. Bron's problem would be guarding the big dominant centers. Or the PF's with a center's size like a Duncan. Overall, I think these guys are the closest ones that can play FOUR POSITIONS! Four positions should really be the barometer and not five:

    Bron
    KG
    Magic
    Pippen
    G Hill
    Anthony Mason
    Odom
    Kukoc
    Durant
    Greek Freak
    Draymond

    I'm sure there are some other guys potentially, but these guys were on the top of my head. When u factor in defense, it makes Bron, KG, Pippen, Mason, Dray, and Hill standout even more. All of them can defend LEGIT more positions WELL than guys like Magic, Kukoc, or Odom.

    Oh god the future Wilt stories

    'LeBron once started at 5 positions, whilst coaching, with a side of commentary, all while being time keeper'

    Big Lebron fan here, but even I don't think he can. I'd say he can play 2/6 positions.

    I'd say he would make a pretty good mascot as well

    What else do you expect insecure stans to do but to start reaching? To admit that Lebron is 2/6 or something?

    Stans consistently and desperately looking for "alternative" criteria other than winning to propel his status.

    Durant qualifies for sure! Once he improved his passing and rebounding ability, it made him a guy who could play four positions. When he first came in the league, he was more of a guy who could play SF and SG. I think u could make the case that Durant has the BEST handles of any player 6'10 and up of all time!

    I think Durant is more versatile
