Who is going to guard Lebron James?

imagine Steve Novak guarding James...

 

Nobody can "guard" Lebron, you just have to make sure none of his teammate can help him. Shut down gipson, Ilgauskas, and gooden along with the rest of the scrubs that he drags along on his victories. lol

 

gibson

 

Shane Battier with a quick double team help from Brooks from the blind side.

 

Better question, who can guard him?

 

Hasn't Battier ALWAYS guarded Lebron?

 

not under JVG.

but for this game, whenever battier is on the court, he'll guard james. when he sits, tmac will guard him. but tmac and battier will switch A LOT whenever james uses the pick and roll so both will have a chance to guard him.

the question is, who will guard tmac? tmac has always played well v. the cavs.

 

Very true. I bet he would also because its him vs. Lebron, and thats a big matchup. He also plays good D when hes pissed off (true for everyone), so we will see.

 

I bet he would break Wilts record.

 

Force him to take jumpshots and we should win. Let Battier have him so TMac doesn't spend too much energy on defense for offense. Cleveland hasn't exactly been a difficult matchup in recent years.

 

Aaron Brooks

 

I did like when they put Brooks on Barbosa in that Phoenix game....Barbosa could not get around him

 

Jesus Christ. Lebron has a sick sick stat line for the season.

30 ppg, 8 rpg, 7 apg? That's ****ing ridiculous. I never realized he was that good until I actually looked at his stats for once.


edit: just looked at the great JORDON, and he had a 33 ppg, 8 rpg, 8 apg season. incredible.

 

i am tempted to vote deke's elbow but i will be reasonable and go with battier as usual.

 

Lebron can't touch jordan yet, and Jordan does it effortlessly, and that leads to the next puzzling thing how some fans think kobe is equal to jordan.

 

This is how I look at it. The difference between Jordan and LeBron isn't averages LeBron is very close to Jordan there. The difference was Jordan rising to the occasion on the big stage. Every big game he seemed to dominant. Now Lebron showed he can take over a playoffs like Jordan did last year. Also LeBron thus far into his career (number of years not age as that is unfair) is ahead of Jordan. What LeBron needs is his Pippen. A second guy who creates mismatches and can hit any shot if open. If he gets a guy like say Caron Butler and we could see a dynasty.

And if you wathc Cavs games you would see LeBron does it effortlessly. He glides in the air perhaps better and longer than MJ and literally bulls through defenders to finish in the paint.

 

Certainly not T-Mac. If T-Mac does, James would have 50 pts.

 

and lebron hasn't even had a 50 pt game this yr. tmac must be REALLY bad on defense and is the worst in the league then.

 

I think the key for this game is whether Yao can stop big 'z'.

 

Battier will be the primary defender,Tracy will be the secondary defender.
