LeRoid is slow AF. i don't get why anyone would give him any room on the 3 point line :confusedshrug:

you can literally get in his grill and he's not fast enough to blow by anyone.

He is strong though and can stiff arm his way to the rim. Has good timing as well.

Most games it's not worth giving him that kind of defensive attention, because he's just not very impactful. Monk demands more defensive attention than Lebron does.

LeBron is the leading scorer in the NBA?

Yeah its crazy how he has become an example of 'let him get his'. Goad him into taking a midrange off the dribble is the best approach like Diaw did.

LeBron is the leading scorer in the NBA?

And is 8 games below .500.

His scoring impact generally doesn't translate into wins.

BOOM

I've been saying this for years - he hasn't had blow by speed for a while now

Making him use the stuff arm is the best strategy

Sagging off and letting him lullaby you or set something up is dumb

MJ won the scoring title in 87 while leading his team to two games under .500 for the season.

His scoring impact generally didnt translate into wins.

Orders from higher ups to make LeFraud look better than he really is at scoring by giving him wide open jump shots. It's probably been that way his whole career which is why teams that do a goob of taking away his scoring opportunities at the rim give him so much trouble since they limit to taking jump shots which he sucks at and can only hit wide open ones. That's why best defensive teams like 2010 Celtics, 2014 Spurs have no trouble beating his team.

You don't even watch the games.

They need to continue to be brainwashed by shitty posters like you. He will continue to drop 30 -50 ppg on their asses.
You can't sag off of him he will light your ass up from 30 ft and beyond. Has Jordan even had shooting range like Broncdoes, today?

The answer is no.

You guys aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, that much is clear. If you play him close on the perimeter the speed is irrelevant, he only needs to get you on his hip and it's over, layup. I can't believe you guys put so much energy into Lebron and somehow manage to not pay attention.
