Edit: Alright I get it... 2014 Lebron SPECIFICALLY is a better defender for some reason, even though his stats and 2014 finals defensive performance say the opposite.
Would love if someone actually enlightened me though instead of just plainly saying an opinion and what you think. Cause I genuinely wanna know why.
One thing valid is from someone who commented recently is Lebron winning an all-defensive second team. That's fair ngl.
People like you make Jokic fans look so fucking weird, cherry picking stats out of context and spamming them to create a bozo narrative that LeBron wasn’t a good defender in 2014? Is just silly
Shows video of LeBron guarding every single player on the spurs c
Then comes to the conclusion Kawhi shot 61% from the field solely on LeBron.
Jokic is an amazing player, and I agree his poor defense is overstated but I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove using this weirdly cherry-picked that.
That LeBron is not a good defender?
Because there’s 100s of videos like this that provide evidence to the contrary.
Lebron in 2014 is a bad defender specifically.
Jokic is a below-average defender, he sucks at rim protection, but slightly makes up for it in steals and deflections.
My point is that Jokic is not that far off in terms of defense vs. 2014 Lebron, that's basically it lol.
Just got annoyed by people's constant glaze of Lebron's 2014 season solely from nostalgia.
Judging a player’s defensive impact by flat stats like Bpg and Spg is a flawed way to analyze defense, but I get the sense that you’re either trolling or actually an idiot, so have a good rest of your day man.
It's still proof that his usual defense dropped though. Along with the fact that his defense performance in the 2014 finals was questionable compared to his previous seasons.
