Suddenly, Lebron is a lockdown defender of 5 positions...and i shouldnt be discussing basketball.

My God. It took me a while but I finally see what everyone else has seen for a long time. I give up.

So it's like a 80/60 thing?

From what I can surmise KG can guard the 2-3-4-5 while LeBron can ONLY guard the 2-3-4.

My only contention was that lebron can't guard five positions and anyone that knows anything about basketball knows this. Someone else said Lebron could come closest to doing it and my quote was that I think Garnett could come closest but Lebron would be in the same sentence of who would come closest. For some reason, this seems unreasonable to some.

Yeah yeah yeah. And i misquoted jerry west too. If someone says you can PLAY 4 positions than surely the 50% of the time you spend on defense should count no? Why you think James couldnt guard the vast majority of NBA centers is strange since there are lots of post defenders in the NBA smaller and not nearly as athletic as James.

? LOL. i wasnt even talking about Ariza.

What was your take? I was incredibly please to see Carmello perform like that. To me it really vindicated what i always have thought about him.

Magic played point guard but rarely was matched up against the other team's point. That job went to byron scott or michael cooper or norm nixon when he was there. Bird played 3 or 4 but was always matched up against the slower player of the other team. Iverson played 2 guard at philly but rarely matched up against the other team's two guard.

My point is that just because you "play" a position doesnt mean you defend it.
