LeBron James

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
LeBron making those turnaround fadeaways ala Jordan and Kobe has been a pleasure to watch. Some of his plays in the post have been elite as well. He still needs to polish it a bit more but during the playoffs that would be huge to have. Especially combined with the fact that he is also shooting well from the mid-range as well as beyond the arc.

Also, LeBron's defense on Blake was quite good. I think its pretty evident that at this stage of his career, he is much better guarding the 4s than the 3s. He doesn't have that same first step he used to, to guard quick athletic perimeter players like he used to in his prime when he used to lock down Prime DRose and Tony Parker.
 
LBJ can guard guards he just needs that center ala C Bosh, Andy that is able to do their job and help on the drive when he gets blown by
 
I have a really hard time believing that there has ever been a better player than LeBron James. The things this guy has been able to do so well, for so long, are incredible. He's a superhuman. His jumper looks really good right now. If he can keep that up I really don't see him declining the way players eventually do.

LeBron isn't alert enough to guard good small forwards off the ball and isn't as quick to guard them on the ball. However, his individual defense on 4's has been impressive against Porzingis and Blake. Its why Jeff Green is so critical. He's the guy we can have guarding Durant so LeBron can guard Draymond and roam.

I'm not so sure that he isn't just being lazy on defense so much as not alert. I think he still has the ability to be in the right place at the right time, he just doesn't care on D much at this point.
