Best Lebron defender?
[COLOR=Teal]Past? Scottie? DPOY Artest?
Preset? Serge? Gay? Healthy Howard?
Two years from now? Durant? Davis? Others?
Top teams need to gear against this guy similar to way they did Shaq, dude is virtually unstoppable at this point.[/COLOR]

Length is a very potent defensive weapon, even if you lack strength. The guy can push you, but you can recover by just reaching over too. It's not a stretch to think that.

Watch Prince on defense in his prime. Size ain't all that.

Re: Best Lebron defender?
Definitely not Durant, because he has to guard the GOAT -- Mario Chalmers

Re: Best Lebron defender?
I think a really physical forward, who isn't afraid to hit hard or wont back down would be best for "containing" Lebron at this point. Note the word containing, because Lebron is in the MJ zone right now and no one can stop him.
A prime Artest would be ideal. Known defensive 3's in this era like Sefolosha, Deng, and George are just too weak to effectively guard against Lebron.
I think Scotties wing span would have been very effective for defending Lebron in the post though.

Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion, apparently.

Re: Best Lebron defender?
the best way to defend Lebron is an elite team defense. As for indidual defenders it is nearly impossible to find defenders that can match his combination of size and speed. He seems like he is a hybrid TE too big for CBs(Small Forwards) and too quick for linebackers(Power Forwards)

go look at the finals. He was abused in the post and blown by. LeBron isn't a rookie and knows how to finished by taking contact

[COLOR=Teal]I'm just throwing out names as examples. And I'd like to think Bron won't be as explosive when he hits 30, that he'll be playing closer to the basket as he gets older.[/COLOR]

i think someone already posted it but you get abused in post up situations, no strength

I agree. You have to have an excellent defensive big and another very good help defender or vice versa to slow him down. Kinda like Pistons and Spurs used the two Wallaces and Duncan/Drob against Shaq. Think Chicago OKC and similar teams will pose greatest challenge against LeBron. Coaching matters too.[/COLOR]
