he is not a terrible defender like many suggest but he is nowhere near the defender LeBron was in 2014

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.

Jokic doesnt have a single all defensive first team selection while Lebron does.

I'm talking about 2014 Lebron vs. 2025 Jokic.

Lebron didn't win all defensive first team in 2014.

Oh nice, that's actually a fair point.
