      I could not believe energy and ability he was putting on the floor back then every night, looking back its frightening to me cuz no other player in the NBA has been able to duplicate that 2010-2013 LeBron.
      They lie about MJ every time but go watch full games, imo he wasnt near as scary of an impact player as Heat Bron... Bron is scary good yet is disrespected like hes not even good sometimes. Why cant Kd or somebody experience that. Best player I will ever see gets disrespected on worse than the worst players in the nba 🤣🤣 Bron gets more disrespect than Kuzma

    Some people like to forget how good of a defender this guy was.
    He was elite from ~2008 to 2014, dropped off in 2015, and came back the next year posting advanced defensive metrics on par with Kawhi (the DPOY) and Draymond Green (the following season's DPOY). He then solidified his defensive prowess in the playoffs and became the only player in history to lead both teams in all 5 major stat categories for a playoff series of any length-he did it in a 7-game series against the winningest regular season team ever, no less.
    Locked up guards (Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, etc.), protected the rim (2009, 2013, 2016 come to mind), picked off passes... his résumé has it all except for the DPOY award itself, which was given to Marc Gasol instead even though he originally wasn't even going to be on either of the all-defensive teams that season.

And certainly increases your wear and tear exponentially.

    What I've noticed is that he doesn't hustle to plays he knows are over, or plays he lacks the angle to contest properly, so at times it looks like his defensive effort is weak. At the end of the day though he is still 5x NBA all-defense 1st team for a reason. When he does have the right angle, he does deliver.

    Lebron has crazy core strength. You can see it in how he defends. Dudes will beat him off the dribble and because he's like a wall he recovers and knocks their momentum off. Harden shook him 2 times and because he recovers harden gave up trying to score on him. You can't teach genetics bit lebron also never falls for pumpfakes. As much flack as he gets defensively he plays similar to kawhi. They don't foul and they only take chances when they know they can create the turnover
