He concedes rebounds, doesn’t defend the perimeter, doesn’t get back on transition. He does not rotate so he expects his teams to read his mind and cover up for him. Lebron is the GOAT in my eyes but at this stage of his career you need strong defenders around him to make up for weaknesses. Lebron has to be the worst defender in the lineup for the team to be competitive on the highest stages. That’s why Reaves and Dlo don’t work defensively with Lebron.
This team feeds off the energy from Lebron. It’s why our first quarters have been lackluster because Lebron doesn’t come out with energy. When he turns it up in the 4th, the rest of our guys turn it up too. It’s a problem that needs to be worked on.
