Everything is better than no defense
Talking by position, yes. There are more forwards that are better defenders than LeBron then there is point guards that are better defenders than Curry
For defence:
Lebron before 2013 > Curry > Lebron after 2013
[QUOTE=JohnMax]Team defense > Individual defense
Curry and[B] Lebron[/B] are [B]great at team defense[/B][/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]
okay this is off topic now but..
give me some examples of some good individual defenders that suck as team defenders
There is more to defense than man to man, Steph is a great team defender (playing the passing lanes, knowing when to rotate, boxing out , charges, steals, helping) Steph is good at all of these.
James has a hard time backing Curry down. Like in game 1 of last year. Curry had always played Lebron well and forced him into ugly jump
shots.
Guess we'll never know since Klay Thompson always picks up the best opposing guard every game while Curry hides in the corner
Unlike Curry, Lebron doesn't get taken out of the game on final defensive possessions and he always checks opposing teams SF
Not sure I can go with this. Are we talking this year or overall career?

Result:
35PPG on 56/47
29PPG on 53/41
and several finals MVPs for others :lol

Interesting way to value it, i'll give it a shot
[B]2016 semi's - KD vs Kawhi [/B]
29ppg, 7 reb, 4 ast, 50% fg
damn, guess Kawhi is trash on D

Which is not a great thing...
Wasn't there a stat that players defended by James shot over 60% in the Finals in 2017?

Lebron has been terrible on defense for the longest, he only shines against offensively-challenged teams that don't have a lot of ball movement, he's been terrible in the past two Finals.
Which is hilarious, because he often calls out his teammates for messing up, when his own lack of D is part of the problem, especially in Regular Seasons. You saw the Lakers go from an above-average defensive team this year to allowing 110-120 every game once James returned and Zo got injured, his defense sure isn't what it used to be.
With James, we suffered one of the worst defeats in Lakers history by losing 94 - 136 to Oladipo-less Pacers :roll: and we allowed Philly to drop 143 just a few games later.. just awful.
Curry's a more consistent defensive player at his position in the Playoffs, you don't see him mess up that often though sometimes he gets in foul trouble.

56 > 50
no
They're both aweful. LeBron is a bit older also. he was a way better defender than Steph at the same age. Steph gets lit up on regular and he's in his prime. Let's see how bad it is when he's lebrons age.

Because Klay is better defender than Curry. It doesn't mean Lebron is better defender.
If Lebron was a teammate of Durant, Durant would probably match with the star SF's or PF's.
Yes...curry gets stuck on switches all game long and holds his own.
Bran lets older vets like battier, and even jr smith take the toughest handles while he plays sag and chases stats.
LeBron led defenses have been god awful for a looong time.

If you're going to troll at least make it funny or clever...You did neither
LeBron has a better Defensive rating than Michael Jordan and equal to Scottie Pippen. No perimeter defender is even close to LeBron's defensive impact in the playoffs. Sorry, but it's true.

One of them don't play defense and the other one can't.
[QUOTE=LostCause]Basketball reference doesn’t explain defense to these morons[/QUOTE]
These kids literally think basketball is played on paper. Like they truly believe it deep down.
Imagine if basketball was as easy as "highest stats = best".
They ACTUALLY believe this :biggums:
How can anyone with even an ounce of sensible reasoning in regards to reality lead themselves to believe this. I truly fear for whoever has the misfortune of being their caregivers.
Every team force the Curry switch, it won the 2016 title
Yes.
