When Iguodala was in the game, LeBron James shot 38.1 percent from the field, scoring 26 points per 36 minutes with 2.9 turnovers. With Iguodala on the bench, James shot 44 percent, averaging 35 points per 36 minutes with 2.2 turnovers. With Iguodala as the primary defender, opponents shot 37.2 percent overall, and he gave up free throws the same percentage of time (10.8 percent) that he forced a turnover, via Synergy Sports. Those are steller defensive numbers.
@@Matthew-oq1hx people say igoudala didn’t lock down Lebron when he was noticeably less effiecent when igoudalaa was guarding him. They were losing the seiries till he became a starter
@@angryanakin Its called containment Andre also dominated in every percentage category in the finals and was a near average 20 points or more a game. He's the 2015 Finals MVP by percentages around the board even over Curry (Curry should have gotten his 1st in 2018). If you got your opponent to shoot 37.1 from the field at that point you got a chance to win means in the 4th during crunch time you force a miss make the home run game over no excuse for Lebron here Andre vs Lebron and Lebron lost Curry was on injury recovery and for his 1st final that's a lot to deal with but people forget that in Curry's case that year.
Iguodala is a very good defender.I like LeBron but Iguodala still played very good defense on him although he averaged almost 36 pts and 9 asts.However thats mainly bcus of his high usage rate and the only playmaker on the team(kyrie injured).Iguodala managed to hold him almost 40% fg(39.8% to be exact),which is really good imo.Btw keep up the good work,love the defense videos!
The story of Lebron posting up on the perimeter against a defense playing all the passing lanes lol. This was one of the more infuriating NBA Finals to watch. Still remember when Bogut passed up an open alley oop to go for a missed 3 pointer instead. The only thing to take away from this Finals was seeing all the role players step up big time.
Dayum just looked up iggy's wingspan is 6'11" and he locked up lebron... Mj's wingspan is 6'11.25" Pippen has 7'3" (same as kwahi) wingspan Hmmmmm kinda shows something here...
Facts...jordan was the 3rd in steals all time and dpoy..while lebron is 1st in alltime turnovers...imagine the king of steals against the king of turnovers what would be the result 😂😆 lebron got lockdown by 6'6 iggy how much more jordan who have bigger wingspan and bigger hands and quicker in feet and hands than iggy
Iggy is the most underrated defender of his time but LeBron James became the first player in NBA Finals history to lead both teams in points, assists and rebounds for the entire series, according to ESPN. James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists across six Finals games.

Definitely. The Klay one will be a two parter and that's actually one I'm putting finishing touches on, so either next week or the one after, and the Diaw one is still at work
Got locked up by kawhi the previous year and on this year it was iguodala every time I hear people say or sports analysts say how do you guard lebron those are probably the two main players I would look at who could guards lebron and give him trouble
6:05 hes never been that guy you just give the ball to win the game. All of his game winners come on basically catch and shoot plays with the orlando shot kind of being the exception. The corner shot in chicago in 2015, the turn around 40 footer last year against the wizards, the turn around mid range on the timberwolves this year. I think he is too smart for his own good in those high pressure possessions and he knows he is bad at free throws so he settles for jump shots to often that he has never been great at, that has been his Achilles heal.
@@smokeinc9800 LeBron blocking Andre once in the 2016 Finals does not discredit how Andre played exceptional defense and lowered LeBron's efficiency in the 2015 Finals. That's like me saying that block in 2016 is invalid, because KD stuffed LeBron in the 2017 Finals.
Got a couple requests for you.. Kevin Durant's defense since I keep hearing he's a decent defender. Mike Conley's defense since I haven't seen much of him. and if these can be from last year that would be excellent.
I'm actually working on the KD one right now. As for Conley, it's hard because all the playoff games I have have him largely missing because of that face injury, but I definitely want to do a video of his for sure
This is what happens when you got no foot work, average jump shooting skills and post move. Lebron wont last long in the league if he dont improve his game. He just forces his way in the basket using his muscle, he wont be able to do that once he aged.
How on earth can lebron beat mj..even against 6'6 iguodala he got lockdown...iggy was not on the same level as mj in defense and steals...lebron number 1 player in turnovers while jordan number 3 in steals thats a recipe for a disaster in lebrons side
Lebrons footwork here was a bit mediocre. That was the biggest weakness in his game when he was drafted. He developed a good turn around and a few post moves but you can see how he doesn’t have many counters like Kobe and MJ do in the post.
not hating on iggy, he played a great defense but he’s just slowing down lebron not stopping him entirely, while curry is the leader in golden state offensively. he proves it with his 26 ppg. so, imo curry should’ve won finals mvp🤷♂️
Okay maybe it's just me, but it seemed like they were letting Iggy hold, and foul LeBron nearly every time he had the ball. Don't get me started on that play that should have been called a travel, and then Iggy slapped tf out of LeBron's arm right in front of the ref with no call
if you think all those times the refs were being nice, you don't know basketball. they would never call those fouls unless the person is preventing him from moving at all.
+RondoStyle9 you didn't. but you're saying they're letting Iggy foul LeBron. which entails they're not calling it because, and the saying is, the refs were being nice.
Darius Chief Ok, so you are saying that Iggy was not fouling LeBron on many of those plays. I disagree with you, and I think that there is no way on earth that a referee would hesitate to call many of these plays against a defender who was checking Curry because he can't handle that much contact.
RondoStyle9 you simply aren't understanding me as you didn't know basketball. I said those may be "fouls" but Kenny Smith said it the best. If refs called every single foul there epukd easily be 100 fouls a game and games would be 4 hours long. And you're saying this like its only Iggy doing this. Its called playing physical. If you watch any great defender they're aren't hesitant with contact and they know what they can and can't get away with. I'm sure if you rewatch the Finals you can clearly see Delevadova is holding and pushing and grabbing on Curry but no fouls are called because that's basketball. And you're mistaken to think that if it was on Curry the ref would call a foul because he couldn't handle contact. That's just absurd and hilarious. Curry attacks the rim more than people give him credit for and you don't see him getting 20 free throws a game like Westbrook or Harden. He's always looking to score not flop and flail his arms and head to draw fouls like the "stronger" Westbrook or Harden. You probably don't even watch him play if you think he's too weak that refs would give him fouls because he doesn't get the calls other super stars get. And that's a fact.
he didn't score 40 on him. Iggy didn't guard him the whole time. and scoring points has nothing to do with being locked down. you gotta consider free throws and fg%. cuz LeBron shot 38% when Iggy guarded him
Anyone could get 35 points on 30 shots, which is what Lebron did throughout the finals. So in other words, Iguodala made Lebron a very inefficient scorer.
35 a game, yes, BUT...32,7 shots per game taken, along with FG .398%, 3P .310%, FT .687%, True Shooting % .477%, eFG .431% (per Basketball Reference), PLUS add to that ridiculously high usage rate of 40,8% and then you see that this was a really atrocious performance throughout the whole series, and even that might be an understatement. Pointing all of this out, since his fans like to bring up stats as a measure of one's greatness more than anything. Remember when LeBron said if he ever took 30-40 shots per game, he'd average 70 points? LOL, yeah, more like 36. Can't wait for him to get locked down again by Iggy this year. :)
