Myth: Lebron "shut down" Derrick Rose...

[dontreadthis]

Shut up. You sound stupid, stupid.
Are you that simple? I said that he ONLY guards CENTERS in spurts, he doesn't guard them the whole game, like he would with other positions.

why would he guard a center the entire game?

Never said that he didnt. How much of the game did he? How many games? What was the outcome? Like I said, he guards them in spurts.

He guarded him for several plays, it wasn't just a "switch", they had Bron at the 5 for a couple of series.

Who are the other players besides Bron that can cover 1-5? Or is he the only one?

Josh Smith might be capable of it, but they don't stick him on PGs or Cs, as far as I know LeBron is the only dude in the league that does guard all 5.

kobe stans.. smh

plenty of us recognize lebron as one of the best defenders of this generation

myth: lebron shut down derrick rose
fact: if lebron didn't stop the guy the year before, it's proof that lebron didn't stop him the next year, even when rose himself (and the stats) says he did

brilliant argument, kobe stan, great job on this rock solid thread.

So when people question Lebron it's called "hating"? You Lebron enthusiasts are pathetic and super defensive. Lebron is a great player on offense and defense, IMO the best perimeter defender but if someone feels like him shutting down Rose is a myth, that doesn't make him a hater. Truthfully you dudes act like bytches.

I thought everyone knew this. Lebron is an all time great help defender but an overrated man one, people make it seem like he's unstoppable.

Part of the reason he got torched by jet In the finals was because the d couldn't collapse on him like they did rose, the Mavs actually had shooters so Lebron had to play Terry one on one and got exposed.

 

[Street Knowledge]

What 5s? Bynum? Hibbert? Cousins? Dwight? Or 5s like Perkins, Splitter, Chandler, and Noah who are offensively challenged and HARDLY shoots or have any plays called for them? He guards CERTAIN 5s in spurts. Saw what Pau did to him when he tried to hold him in the gold medal game? He got in foul trouble because Pau was a threat with the ball. Not saying he can't hold his own for a minute but let's not pretend that he's defending them one in one the while game (not saying that YOU are)

This. People make it seem like Lebron can guard great offensive bigs for entire games. He can guard nikkaz like Perkins and Ibaka but they suck on offense.

One of the biggest factors in the Miami Heat's 4-1 Eastern Conference Finals win over the Chicago Bulls was the defense LeBron James (a 6'8 small forward) played on Derrick Rose (a 6'3 point guard, one of the league's quickest players, and the NBA MVP). LeBron took over Rose duty in critical moments, including entire fourth quarters. And the two-time MVP clearly shut down his successor.But the level to which LeBron locked up Rose is still amazing, even for those who watched every second of the series. Via J.E. Skeets, ESPN's Stats and Info Department put together the data to show how incredible James' defense on Rose was in this series.

After going 0-for-5 from the floor with a turnover when guarded by LeBron James in Game 4, Derrick Rose struggled against him once again Thursday, going 1-for-10 with two turnovers in Game 5. Rose shot 6.3 percent from the floor in the series when defended by James, lowest among any player that defended him on five or more plays.That's just unbelievable -- 1-15 for the MVP over two critical playoff games when defending by a player five inches taller and maybe 50 pounds heavier. There's a reason LeBron makes the All-Defense team every year, and while he'll continue to for the next several years. That's just unfair.
