This is the series lebron ONLY shot 57%? I see why this meme is in rotation 300 days a year. Makes sense now...


He shot 45% that series. The next season he shot 57%. Unfortunately, his team wasn't as good the next year and they got run out of the gym.

Is Lebron an acceptable answer?
Kawhi did great in 2013 but people fail to account for the fact that he had Tim Freakin' Duncan behind him.
Young Lebron was athletic AND strong enough to keep Lebron away from the rim as well as anyone.
He'd also know his moves better than anyone else :wink: :lol:

This forum has too many good basketball minds for some of yall to still act like JJ was guarding lebron one on one.

I mean i dont even get why you would attempt this unless you didnt understand Dallas' zone. If you didnt, just say that. Theres no shame in it.


It's a joke. Don't read into it any more than that.

Shawn Marion and Julias Erving. What people don't remember about Erving is the dude was a lockdown defender they just remember the dunks but he easily had the athleticism to stick with Lebron.

Julius was marvelous athlete and excellent defender, but his strength wasn't about man defense. He wasn't the best perimeter shutdown defender, his biggest impact came from help defense. He wouldn't be a bad choice on prime James, but mentioned ones are better.

Doesn’t really matter unless my big man is ready to help once LBJ blows by the defensive SF
Stop being so disrespectful.
