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.
LeBrons been getting back on defense this year.
Also blaming last night on just Lebron is bullshit. Lebron wasn’t defending maxey raining 3s on us. He wasn’t responsible for the Lakers doubling Embiid at the 3 point line. He didn’t give Beverly 10 feet of space to take warm up 3s.
He wasn’t good defensively but none of the Lakers were.
