    Default Do people still believe LeBron's defense is overrated?

    Shut down Tony Parker 2 straight games.

    He has more impact on defense than a peak Jordan, yes I said it.

    Parker was hurt. Hard to say he contained him. Heat bigs did amazing pick n roll defense. And did you not see Kawhi getting past LeBron?

    Lebron's defense was great this postseason, even better than last year. On the other hand, I thought his regular season defense was better last year.

    Parker says he wasn't hurt in his post game interview. Said he just didn't play well enough.

    He did a phenomenal job on Parker. Parker couldnt shake him and couldnt get a clean look while James was locked on him in the half court.

    Just like every player in the league, some guys matchup better against certain guys than others. James is the perfect foil for Parker.

    I don't think Paul George is a better player than Tony Parker, but his offense is much better against James' defense.

    Matchups. I don't buy into the whole "overrated" conversation. The Heat have a great team defense. James is a big part of that.

    To be as good defensively as the Heat/Spurs, every guy on the floor has to play on a string.

    idk if u notice some of paul george game's during the finals, game 7 he was shut down by lebron.

    give james credit for his amazing defense, getting tired of the 'overrated' label.

    But when he dropped 26 points on 10-14 shooting in Game 5 he wasn't hurt?

    Lebron because of his physical ability, intelligence and selflessness is one of the greatest defenders I've seen. He is Pippen on crack.

    In the past two games, Parker has played well against Chalmers. But then Lebron switched onto him and he couldn't do much at all.

    So are you trying to say Parker was healthy in the first quarter, and then injured in the second quarter, and then healthy for a few plays in the second quarter, then injured again to close the second quarter when Lebron was on him, etc ?

    I don't think so.
