Which NBA Player Has the fewest flaws in their game?

[Osmosis]

LeBron has never been a lockdown defender and the Spurs almost won an NBA finals because LeBron isn’t an elite shooter.

He has become one over the years, but his defense has been trash since.

Lebron is one of the best defenders of all time

this is by far the worst narrative on the coli

 

[Osmosis]

Pound for pound, CP3 is the most complete player of all time. That’s why he’s still effective as a 36 year old at 6’0.

 

[mastermind]

Bron's obvious flaw is free throw shooting. Criticizing Bron's defense is some dumb dumb shyt.

I didn’t criticize LeBron’s defense, I said he isn’t a lockdown defender like the poster stated.

LeBron is an excellent lockdown defender when needed. I linked numerous examples of that.

And you also said:

Which is bullshyt as Bron has played excellent defense the last two seasons.

Yea
His defense has fallen off as he has gotten older. That was the context of my post.

And no, LeBron is not and never has been a lockdown defender.

This is nonsense

 

[Osmosis]

This is nonsense

He can shoot at all levels, he’s an elite playmaker, he was one of the best defenders at his position, and he’s one of the smartest players of all-time. What weaknesses does he have on the court? KD, for example, is a limited playmaker and has never been an elite defender. He has more exploitable weaknesses than CP.

You said it was "trash". Are we just going to go in circles? This is all from 2020 and 2021:

Those articles show specific examples of Bron locking down Paul Pierce, Derrick Rose, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jamaal Murray, and also includes articles from 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2020 which all show LeBron overall performing at an elite level in man defense.

How can you deny that? You just gonna ignore the evidence again to push a narrative?

Really tired of Kobe stans underrating LeBron’s defense.

Go to sleep on a brick then

It's fair to say that CP3 has the most complete skill set of all time. His lack of size and athleticism are his weaknesses as it limits his ability to score inside and often keeps him from getting quality shots at all when the defense is focused in on him.

I think those were legit the two funniest ones for me too.

Now we got nikkas saying KD is only a good team defender

 

[BrehWyatt]

Giannis!?!! Absolutely not

The argument can be made. Giannis has flaws in his game because he's trying to add to it. So his jumpshot isn't good. He's a good but not great free throw shooter (career 70 percent). He has a ridiculous EuroStep but not much in terms of traditional "get a good shot in the paint" i.e. Hakeem Olajuwon.

But if Giannis stuck to "Get to the hole and layup/dunk"... then he would likely have no flaws in his game because how simple it is.

Chris Paul is barely six feet tall. That’s his flaw. He struggles finishing in the lane in the postseason, and apparently can’t score going left lol.

KD is a respectable playmaker, but it’s not a barrier to his game.

KD is not a limited defender.
