@@shipwreck8847 no he doesn’t that’s just what idiots like you believe who probably never been in a basketball game in their life,it’s natural for any kid to be nervous in there first game but this kid is made for whatever comes his way and his parents know him better than anyone especially someone like you

He didn't say anything about him being a defender

[@toxicmelody6228]

He's 40.....why would you even expect lockdown defense from the oldest player in the league? What's wrong with you?!

[@mattmolt-bb1iw]

He use to be an elite rim protector, and they put him on an island with d rose in his prime and he could guard bigs, his defense has always been underrated to haters

[@-370HSSV-]

​@@toxicmelody6228Lebron said, "Don't categorize me as just a scorer. I do everything. I can do whatever the team needs me to do. I'm #1 in points and #4 in assists. I can score, I can assist, I can rebound." I pointed out that he didn't say a word about playing defense. How do u get by in life when u can't comprehend what you read? He's 39 btw, try to keep up snow flake.

[@-370HSSV-]

​@@mattmolt-bb1iwYeah, we all remember Lebron in his prime, averaged 17pts vs JJ Barea (5'9) in NBA Finals and at one point passing the ball when he realized it was Barea guarding him in the paint, one on one

[@NicolasAlcalde]

​@mattmolt-bb1iw And Rose shot 13% in those fourth quarters. LeBron turned the MVP into the worst guy on the floor. He completely locked down Tony Parker in the finals for stretches when they were getting torched by him. He's a two time DPOY runner-up. He was playing a lot of center in 2018 and was effectively the 2nd best rim protector in the league during those times. He was the Lakers' best defender against Jokic in the playoffs forcing him to shoot 0% for stretches. He was beating Giannis in most defensive metrics in 2020 before the covid break when Giannis won DPOY. He went on to absolutely remove allstars from games in every single round of the playoffs that year. Just this last year he kept his assignments to the lowest shooting percentage in the league. People saying LeBron was never a defender know absolutely nothing about basketball. It's pure jealousy and insecurity.

[@cousinchris5851]

I'm glad LeGM was able to get both of his guys in the draft. He has to do better in free agency now. I love this LeBron s%#t
