First of all, using "never" and "nowhere" in a same sentence makes it a double negative, which means you are in essence saying that he will be near MJ/Kobe. The rest of your post are just as poorly constructed, but I'll leave it up to your teachers to teach you those.
Second of all, of course Lebron can't cover guys that are much smaller and quicker. As good as KG is on D, would you put him on Chris Paul because he's their best player?

In any one-on-one situation, the offensive player has the advantage because that's how good these NBA players are, but if you can do a good enough job bothering the offensive player, with help D, you can limit his effectiveness by playing him to certain shots.

Surely his height helps because is very difficult to shoot in his face but if he gets near you can beat him with your first step, a fast first step is the n
