Barkley, Otis, Hakeem, Clint Capela (he owns Lebron among other big players). I would have loved to see him try to bring that **** down the lane when Mutumbo or Yao is standing in front of you.
Luc Mbah Moute has great defensive highlights guaring LeBron over the years. Luc and Kawhi are the best defenders against LeBron Today.
3 pages in and aint nobody said Moochie Norris yet? He couldnt get around or over that fro. Uh Uhhh, no way. Its Ron Ron though. That dude aint giving up an inch, solid footwork with a frame on frame on frame. Wouldnt matter though, he would find a way to piss lebitch off and just get ejected or fouled out, after lebitch kept b****ing to the refs.
To make it more interesting which version of Lebron are we talking about? Young Era LeBron where the only consistent move he had was to bulldoze his way into the lane and use his supreme athleticism to jump over people? Miami Heat LeBron where he had all the tools (dude shot 40% from 3 one year) and was pretty much unguardable? Old Era LeBron where he's been settling on more 3s and only drives in when he feels like it? For Young Era LeBron: Hakeem would shut this one down without breaking a sweat because he can't get into the paint so he'll have to chuck 3s all game Miami Heat LeBron: Artest. He's quick enough to close out on the 3, he's mobile enough to keep up with LeBron if James drives into the lane and he's strong enough to absorb all of that contact. Old Era LeBron: I'd say Battier though I guess you could go with "Prime" Luc on this one or even Horry.
The Battier/Artest/Yao Rockets did great against LeBron. 1-on-1, Artest played him the best. Hard not to pick RYAN BOWEN though.
WIll this myth that LeBron is Karl Malone size never end? Karl Malone weighed peak LeBron weight as a rookie and his weight was never updated Most of those past players weights were never updated from rookie weights. Peak to final season Karl Malone has an easy 30lbs of solid muscle on his frame over LeBron.
I thought Battier always did a decent job defending him. Same with Ariza and Luc. Would’ve loved to see Artest against him. I would say it has to be one of those four. Put Harden at point with those 4 players and he would win a ring. They would just need a good 6th man and a mediocre back up big.
Trevor Ariza has had tremendous success. Look up Lebron's stats vs Lakers in 08/09 they were awful. Kobe/Ariza/Lakers locked up Bron pretty good that year
Need a player to get in his face, too many players sag off and let him have driving room. Artest as his most viscious would be fun to watch. Scottie Pippen would be the guy to go with in his prime
Rockets didn't use Pippen properly, Barkley never fully welcomed him as a team mate and let him be the point guard
