Is LeBron James the best player in the zone defense era??

[Lebron23]

The nba allowed zone defense at the start of the 2001-02 nba season. Lebron is averaging 29/11/9 against the Heat's modified Zone defense. And by the way since the 2015 nba finals he's averaging 32.7 ppg, 11.9 rpg, and 9.7 apg in the finals.

Yes.

Enjoy him while he's here. LeGoat will never be matched again.

They said Spo was an elite coach. This retard is running a zone against LeBron-Rondo-AD. The three highest IQ players in the league.

That stuff only worked against Giannis and Tatum level players.

shooters bust zones

lebron isn't a shooter

case closed

also, today's game doesn't allow zone in the paint, where defenders must stay within "armslength" of offensive players, aka the opposite of a zone.. the only stricter format would be if defenders had to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their man instead of armslength lol

finally, you ran away from this one:

Rondo isn’t a shooter but he breaks down zones better than anyone

best in the zone era has to be curry

although he wouldn't be shit if it were a 70's zone with no 3-point line

Nah rondo is better. Rondo gets right in the middle and because he’s a better passer and floor general than curry he always finds the open man while not turning it over

Calling it "modern defense era" fits better since hardly any teams run full zones. Elements of zone are however crucial to the modern game.

We know that players of the past (like Jordan per his own admission) would not have been able to flourish against the modern defense.

He's the only great player in the zone defense era lol. Nba teams rarely play zone for a reason. It dosn't work.

[kawhileonard2]

Zones can be played in pick up basketball not the NBA.

What did Davis to be in the top3 of IQ players? What about CP3? For example.

Just because he play in LAL doesn't mean he is in top3 IQ.

It aint real zone when the 3 second rule exists.
