KG could ACTUALLY guard 1 through 5

I was looking for this clip I remember this like it was yesterday

Also show that block before the dunk, lebron sent his shit and Dwight cried to the refs and Dwight had that little 30 to lebrons 49 points this game, Dwight is not better, he just had the better team

You thought ilgaskis would stop Dwight wake up, you think any center in that time frame could no, Dwight beat everyone and bron did too

people say dirk had zero defense and everyone can agree he wasn’t great on that end… but statistically his defensive win shares per 48 mins played are basically average for his position in all time ranks. Par for the course. He and KG both won a title and lost one each, and they were very different players in each’s respect… but can anyone on here saying KG was better claim KG changed the game? Dirk changed the game for big men. Didn’t have to leave his team for a Big 3 like Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to get his ring either. I’ll take average on defense/all time great on offense and literally forever game-changing over great defense/good offense…. all day

Ain't nobody locking up all time greats lol

lebron is not known for being a great defender, hes a great chase blocker, but hes soft a hell one on one defense

Good defense or bad offense? You make the call

Prime Lebron could not guard the OLD KG, that is just fact. Lebum's fan could not even stomach this fact and reality... 😂😂😂

Bruh you're a lame...

If you have to lie it means you’re secretly scared of the truth

Your point is awful 😭😭😭 you post about the best centers of all time scoring on lebron in the post

You need to throw KG out of the lineup, he's not as good of a defender as they say ~ Draymond if he was a commentator back then

Lebron blocks the shit outta KG. Your channel cheeks 😂

There's one thing modern players definitely have over those from previous generations. Today's players definitely can handle and shoot the ball at an incredible rate, from positions 1 through 5. The skillset is constantly innovating and evolving. But one thing they absolutely do not have is defensive IQ. Very few teams are able to properly perform triple or even quadruple rotations, or even get leave themselves vulnerable on the first rotation, but only for the help helper to clean up around the rim. Today's players can't even guard 1v1, although credit to the on-ball skill level being at an all-time high. However, the fundamentals just aren't there anymore. They cheat way too much and then try to bail themselves out by reaching around the back to try and back-tap the ball to a teammate. They take themselves out of position for a secondary rotation and it's honestly frustrating to watch. For me, Draymond Green for the Warriors from 2015-2019 was a treat to watch. His defensive IQ was gaps ahead his peers and the way he would QB the Warriors' rotations defensively was just a masterclass on most nights. Jarrett Allen is another guy who, IMO, doesn't get enough respect defensively. His movement defensively, for someone his height, as a help defender, is often smooth. He's definitely a throwback where he ends up being the guy having to clean up at the rim when the rotations get triggered and the ball ends up at the low block or a baseline drive/dunker position. He always challenges at the rim and never cares about being postered or caught in a viral video highlight that may travel the internet (unlike 80% of big men nowadays).

Here’s David West saying Lebrons the goat kzbin.info/www/bejne/gorMfZmmjsiErLssi=61ENLo_vVaXO18Gl

But finally Lakers won the ring.

“lebron can’t guard the best big in the league so he can’t guard the 5” y’all make no sense

Dwight was a great player, top 75, but we shouldn't elevate him in conversations he doesn't belong in. He was a better Clint Capela with a superstar personality but nowhere close to the best centers ever. as the n.1 option on a team Dwight didn't win. as the n.2 option to Kobe or Harden he didn't win. he won as the 7th-8th option on the bench of a superteam. Rudy Gobert placed in the league in 09' with less chances of taking him out of the paint would be as impactful as Dwight.

Had to revisit this bec of Ant's unbelievable block to save the game.

LMAO 2 minutes in Duncan gets dunked on by Shaq 😂. Dumb video.

Horrible video

The FUNNIEST shit about this , dude thinks he's making LeBron look bad😂😂😂😂 look at the comments, we ain't all casuals...

Dirk’s one dribble step back was the best ever

they were rarely matched up 1 on 1 here someone hating

Jordan has a higher game-winning/tying percentage than LeBron both in the playoffs and Finals *Playoff game-winning/tying attempts with 25 seconds or less* - Jordan 10/19 (53%) - LeBron 10/29 (34%) *Playoff game-winning/tying attempts with 5 seconds or less* - Jordan 5/11 (45%) - LeBron 7/19 (37%) *NBA Finals game-winning/tying attempts with 25 seconds or less* - Jordan 4/8 (50%) - LeBron 0/7 (0%) At the time of this video, LeBron was - 8/24 on playoff game-winning/tying shots with 25 seconds left - 5/14 on playoff game-winning/tying shots with 5 seconds left - *KZbin: Shannon "Charlatan" Sharpe + Nick Wrong - Caught Fabricating LeBron's Clutch Stats* Since then LeBron - made one against the 2018 Pacers (Game 5) - missed one against the 2018 Raptors (Game 1) - made one against the 2018 Raptors (Game 3) - missed one against the 2020 Heat (Game 5) - missed one against the 2023 Nuggets (Game 4) Which means we add 2/5 to his total (all of which were under 5 seconds left) Manually count all game-winners here to verify Jordan's 5/11 with 5 seconds or less - *Chasing 23: Michael Jordan: Game Winning Shots* This ESPN article confirms Jordan's 9/18 with 24 seconds or less. Count the flu game-winner with 25 seconds left and it's 10/19 - *ESPN: Today's crunch-time best vs. Air Jordan* And Jordan's last two game-winning misses were desperation heaves with less than a second remaining (1998 ECF Game 6, 1998 Finals Game 4) which deflated his percentage. The only LeBron clutch miss that was a desperation heave was 2020 Finals Game 5. LeBron also missed a game-tying shot with 26 seconds left in Game 4 of the 2023 WCF vs the Nuggets which isn't included in the above stats. Jordan is factually the most clutch player in playoff/Finals game-winning/tying situations. Nobody else has a similar percentage on a comparable amount of attempts. LeBron has more buzzer beaters on a lower percentage because of way more attempts (and misses).

DIRK WAS HARD TO GUARD CAUSE HE WAS TALL AND SHOT THE BALL ABOVE HIS HEAD

Lebron can guard big guys but not the likes of KG, Timmy, Jokic and other elite big guys.

going under the screen would NEVER work in today's game against Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and KD Warriors. Curry would constantly shoot from half-court forcing the pistons to double at half court then Klay and KD would be Wide open

This vid is so biased. Quite a few of Lebron's blocks in this series were against Howard. They're just not in here. Not to mention, Lebron isn't primary defender on these plays. That's because switching smalls on centers didnt really happen until around the time Lebron went to Miami. He notably put on enough muscle during that time to weigh 280, too. He used to switch on Duncan etc and have really good defensive possessions against them. It's quite horrid just how biased Lebron hate is.

Casual fan

Notice how the commentary chooses LeBum's team mates for his bad reads on defence.

KG here was not even in his Prime anymore, Still a superstar level. But, LeBron having problems playing defense is always his weakness.

Crazy to see LBJ get pushed around like hes nothing. Its usually Bron doing the bullying

And MJ couldn't guard 3-5 so who tf cares

TWolves KG would’ve flatlined this Heat team

*Lebron guarding bum centers* “My king can guard all 5 positions” 😂😂🤣😭 *Lebron getting recked by legit centers* “Y’all trippin I never said any of that” 😆😆

most of these he ain’t even guarding him fr, he’s recovering for someone in a rotation, it’s a defensive breakdown on a pick and roll, or he’s getting boxed out on a rebound. dwight wasn’t even his matchup smh y’all don’t know ball

Kobe Bryant.

Is Duncan greater than LeBron?

How much of a monster would KG be if he had a real team around him from the start instead of wasting his best years with Minnesota.

MJ and Kobe is much worse at gaurding 5's and can't guard 4's. Lebron was primarily supposed to focus on Pierce, if he really wanted to lock down Garnet from the start he would've.

Bud this makes no sense. Of course lebron can’t play center against kg. He is one of the greatest big men to touch the floor who has played the pf and center his whole career and probably before the nba. Classic lebron hate. You never see jordan get hated on. Straight meat munching

Bro got a page dedicated to a man that don’t know u exist this is next level glazing 😂😂😂😂

Lol this shitty video had 1, maybe 2 possessions where KG actually got beat, the rest of them were either Dirk making contested shots, Dirk beating his man and KG having to help, transition scores or plays that straight up had nothing to do with KG. This is all you could come up with from 3 games?

I'm here after listening to Garnett say he could lock down Jokic. Hell. No. Easy 40 for Jokic.

Such a silly stupid channel. That god this fool does not upload anymore

DIRK THE MOST TALENT PF OF ALL TIME

KG the original fake tough guy in the NBA..search the video where Anthony Peeler just smacked him and then thank me later😂

How many people saw Iverson vs Dwight Howard?
