Lebron James Interview: "No one in the world can guard me one on one."

[Burgz]

Anyone see that today??? During the practice press conference???

Discuss!

[adri41]

See the interview with Dirk Nowitzki. The anti-LeBron.

[Clippersfan86]

Nobody can guard superstar caliber players one on one. It's a fact. Sure someone will have a great defensive game once in a while against them.. but that's usually with help defense and an unlucky game for the scorer.

I had this debate like 2 months ago because I said Blake Griffin can't be stopped one on one (obviously he's double teamed 50 percent of the time) and people thought it was an arrogant statement. It's just a fact. Especially players who post up or slash to the rim in Lebron's case.. are going to be double teamed or pick up a second defender every time.

[cavsfanatic]

1 on 1 can't nobody stop him. Too big/strong n fast... so that's why he get tripled and doubled soon as he cross that 3pt line

[Burgz]

See the interview with Dirk Nowitzki. The anti-LeBron.

saw that too. he's great in press conferences, doesn't give any fuel for the media hahaha

That's why he couldn't get past Omar Asik and Taj Gibson at will.

It's why Marion had him forcing up leaning jumpers from 3 point land because he couldn't take anyone off the dribble.

Yeah no superstar can be guarded one on one it takes a whole team other than Durant

they probably just called you a homer and dismissed you right? :lol

i think what you said is partly true, but against bad teams with less talent if you contain their superstars (by doubling 50 percent of the time) you will most of the time win the game.

So regardless of being unstoppable or not i think teams play defense that way because they realize that's what they need to do to win, not necessarily because that team's superstar is unstoppable

blake is dominant on the block, but if he comes back next year with a mid-post game THEN he would for sure be unstoppable

[Mr. Jabbar]

is this fool making a career out of being politically incorrect?...:facepalm

[BlueandGold]

Maybe in today's league *cough soft, but in the days of handchecking and guards like Gary Payton getting DPOY there was plenty of real defense being played. Some people actually believe the 96 Sonics would have beaten the bulls in the Finals if Payton was on Jordan the entire series.

[dirkdiggler41]

There is a lot of players in todays game that cant be guarded one on one. With help defense everything changes

handchecking wouldn't make a difference on Lebron he's too strong and fast only players these rules help is the smaller weak guards.

:lol Probably.. I don't remember. I think the statement is still accurate though. If these star players could be stopped 1 on 1 why would double teams be sent so often? As for Blake's case.. or any other superstar/star on a noncontending team... I think the idea you're mentioning doesn't apply if you have a 2nd option like 22.3 ppg Eric Gordon next to them. I agree he's not "unstoppable" right now because of a lack of a jumper. That's definitely true. I just mean any time Blake get's in the post a 2nd defender immediately rotates over. Away from a Clippers example though Lebron saying teams can't guard him 1 on 1 is an accurate statement. I'd love to see Dallas not send doubles to Lebron.. or Miami not send doubles to Dirk.

If elite players got 1 on 1 coverage all game they would all average 30 ppg. The only star who never gets double teamed is Durant. Which is why I question people ranking him in the top 5 or anywhere near there. I mean Derrick Rose sees constant traps and doubles. Durant gets bullied into being an outside shooter with a single defender half the time.

LoL melo defending..


He also said he can't guard terry or dirk one on one in that interview. He said its never a one on one match up its a team defending the person. Why didn't u post that part as well? Quit pushing agenda.

[BlueandGold]

It might actually bother him more since the reason why Lbron is so dominant is because of his athleticism and physicality. If you were to handcheck him on every possession it might actually expose some his basketball skills like his ball handling ability. Although he handles the ball incredibly well for his size I think it's fair to say that he relies way more on his athleticism than on his ball handling.

Exactly. Lebron isn't being a cocky as*hole. He's telling the truth.

[jlip]

Breaking news: Lebron just sneezed!

Seriously... Why is it tht every single thing Lebron does or says all of a sudden becomes thread or newsworthy? Who cares? He just said what basically every other superstar scorer in league history has said. This is not news.

[Kurosawa0]

We really need Miami to win this series. Just for the sake of ISH. This board has turned to utter crap over the last two days.

[thomaspynchon]

Lebron doesn't really have any moves. He's like the Shaq version of swingmen.

I'm always amazed that people push him as the next Jordan considering how graceful Jordan was and how oafish and clumsy Lebron looks when he plays.

He apparently forgot about what happens when Melo comes to town. or Asik embarrassing him, or Tony Allen.

[Clippersfan86]

That's like saying we should ask Derrick Rose what happens when Jeff Teague comes to town :rolleyes:. Just because certain players are more effective on you... doesn't mean they are locking you up 1 on 1. Locking someone up is Granger holding Lebron to 8 points on 3-20 shooting or w/e a few years back. Even then Lebron dropped 35 or 40 on him in the same season. Everyone has an off game and star players can't be stopped 1 on 1 99 percent of the time (Durant is an exception currently).

[imdaman99]

:oldlol:
apparently you've never seen a denver/cleveland game or even melo guarding lebron.

melo does a very good job on him. thats why i wish the knicks had a chance to play them. im not saying they would have won, they wouldnt have got swept. it prob goes 6-7 with heat winning.

I wish these clowns would actually watch games from their golden era and realize how common 70+ FTA games were, how so many flagrants were "soft" in the 90s due to the bad boys era, and realize how many touch fouls were called amongst other things. The most physical era in the NBA was actually the 70s. And rules eliminated REAL, physical handchecking in '79:


1978-79
Clarification added to prohibit hand-checking through “rigid enforcement” of rule allowing a defensive player to retain contact with his opponent so long as he does not impede his opponent’s progress.

In the 80s, I've seen handchecking get called all the time. Commentators pointing out on replays how the guy was not allowed to handcheck etc. SI published an entire feature article in the 80s because NBA defense was perceived as a JOKE. Poor help defense, no zone, less and less physicality, and so on. That's how everybody thought of it at the time. Handchecking was still allowed in the backcourt however to pressure the ball handler, but they eliminated that altogether in '94.


The same BS complaints people have now, people had back then. I saw old timers from the 70s on half time segments making fun of how you couldn't guard Jordan because of all the favorable rules for him (isolation, lack of physicality etc). I'll gladly upload video of couple of them talking about this because I think I saved it somewhere. And the same "handchecking" complaints were going on in '93, in fact here's an NY Times article:


Published: March 28, 1993
The increase of flagrant fouls and violence between players in today's National Basketball Association is a direct result of the elimination of the defensive hand check from games. Physical contact has always been a part of modern professional basketball. But when the N.B.A. abolished a defensive player's ability to use the hand check as a way of slowing down the offensive player he was guarding, players began finding new ways to keep their opponents from going to the hoop. As a result, the hip check has replaced the hand check, as frustrated players try to limit their opponents' scoring chances.

It is time for the N.B.A. to reinstate the use of the hand-check.

[Bigsmoke]

If LaMarcus Aldridge claimed this very same statement would that even matter?

What is there to discuss? Ofcourse nobody in the world can guard him "One on One"? Why do you think they send double teams or immediately clog up the paint or build a wall or throw themselves at him flopping for potential charges or even if he slithers through the team defense inside the paint they try to foul him if they can stop the shot, hopefully wrap him up?

LeBron regularly does waaaaaaay douchier things than say something that's been said a million times before by other players.

[heyhey]

Lebron should said "I can't average 25 points in this league without the pick and roll."

[mmsupra]

That's why he couldn't get past Omar Asik and Taj Gibson at will.

It's why Marion had him forcing up leaning jumpers from 3 point land because he couldn't take anyone off the dribble.

:oldlol:
Saw thread got to this post , game,set,match ..... ,Marion was making this dude shoot stupid long range jumpers that pretty much lost them the game late as well choking.

[QUOTE=pmj]Zach Randolph:

[Kingwillball]

Knowbody can SHUT him down is more like it.. On a given occasion a few players Player can guard him on a Possession or a short stretch but hen Lebron is in attack mode hi cant be stopped.. As far as Marian goes Lebron was feeling good with his jumper the first two games and also content with getting his teammates involved(PLus Wade was feeling it gm 2) On the Few occasions lebron did Drive he got to the Rim 2 Times for a Big Dunk, Another He short armed a Layup at the rim. In Gm 3 on the Road I expect Lebron and Wade to be on the attack alot more and Lebron especially should double his total FT's from the first 2 games combined. Look for Lebron to prove his point tomorrow night going for 30+..

[Papaya Petee]

You guys are honestly retarted.

Lol nobody can guard him 1v1, and that is easily proven.

He's got the highest regular season and playoff PPG average amongst all active players, on high efficiency.

Show me his stats this year, and give me one player that can guard him 1v1, nobody can.

[srekaL]

I'm sure Lebron thinks that no one person can consistently D him up 1 v 1 with no help and get the better of him most possessions. Not that no one could ever possibly guard him one on one in the history of basketball.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

I remember when Kobe and Lebron defended each other head-to-head for both games in the regular season. 2 seasons ago? Kobe whooped his ass both times. Held him to 23% shooting in the first game and something like 38% in the second.

Of course he can. He doesn't have a reliable pull-up jumper. Doesn't have the quicks or coordination for it. No post game. That's why he's not consistently clutch. If he's not hot then he can easily be defended one on one, just play him for the drive.

Maybe in today's league *cough soft, but in the days of handchecking and guards like Gary Payton getting DPOY there was plenty of real defense being played. Some people actually believe the 96 Sonics would have beaten the bulls in the Finals if Payton was on Jordan the entire series.

:oldlol: if you think Gary Payton is stopping LeBron James.

And his defense on Jordan in the 1996 finals has gotten so overrated over the years, just like he is.

Lebron James cant be guarded 1 on 1 and contained/or shut down.

One on one guys...

Not vs a whole team with help defense, doubles, etc.

1 v 1 LBJ kills.

Lebron James cant be guarded 1 on 1 and contained/or shut down.

But he can be beat. Hope the Mavs go one up today.

Bringing this back.

It's ironic that he said that when he couldn't get pass Kidd or post up Kidd. Marion is also guarding him pretty well. Why in the world is he struggling for 5 straight games is crazy.

Dirk is more unguardable than LBJ is atm.

Whenever dirk puts up a jump shot even if contested I always expect it to go in. It is ridiculous how good a shooter this guy is.

That being said, why the fk do guys like rondo have such a bad j? With enough practice you'd think he would have a reliable one and given the amount of space teams play off him, he should be hitting that mid j a lot more.

It's probably a mental thing at this point. Mechanically, his jumper looks fine. I bet he makes them all in practice. Ben Wallace was probably a great freethrow shooter in practice too.
