    I love how physical he was when LeBron tried to post and he wouldnt let him gain any position.

    The best defense that I can remember on LeBron was Shane Battier and Ron Artest putting a hammer down on him in a regular season game against the Cavs where he ended up with no assists. Even Yao blocked him.

    Is this supposed to be every time they were matched up?

    Overall Lebron had a dominant game - no surprise, like usual - so did he do most of his damage against other players, or did the video cherry pick?

    It's pretty solid defense overall, though in a number of cases the issue was Lebron trying to do something one on one with the shot clock winding down under 5 seconds, and settling for (or by virtue of time on the shot clock having to take a) long jumpers. That just comes down to whether he's hitting or not. And while he's gotten a lot better, that is your best defense against him. Try not to let him have the ball until late in the shot clock and coax him into a long 2 pointer. Green did a better job than most at this, and given his size was still able to contest those jumpers.
