OVER THE LAST seasons LeBron James’ league-best wing defence has noticeably slipped. He went from being one of the most disruptive defenders in the league to just okay.
Running around like a maniac on D takes its toll, and there’s evidence that suggests LeBron has understandably dialed back his intensity on that end of the court.
But this year things have gotten worse, and his defence has been downright non-existent on occasion. There have been some Harden-esque lapses that you wouldn’t expect from the best player in the world.
(If you’re unfamiliar, LeBron’s the big number 23 wearing the headband)
1. Last night, he ushered Chicago’s Tony Snell right in to the paint

2. LeBron doesn’t bother to close down a three-point shooter against the Lakers

3. LeBron’s guy runs right past him for an open layup against the Raptors

4. Here, he thinks about helping out on D, but then thinks better of it

5. Two on… none.

6. He’s basically just a traffic cone against the Raptors

7. LBJ runs away

It just shows that you can’t be great ALL of the time, but James is still an absolute genius at the other end of the court.
Idiot!!
Yes you are Michael.
Agree Michael – a bloody imbicile !
Go back to sleep Bosco!
One in a series of brain farts.
On an entertaining note, it was pretty surreal seeing this picture! No-one has ever had the gall like Tuilagi to do that kind of stunt like he did, especially behind David Cameron!
On a more serious note, he’d want to be careful! Jumping off a ferry in Auckland and now doing a bunny ears salute behind the head of one of the most powerful people in Britain suggests immaturity! He’d want to cut that out, because that bring s a bit of a bad name to English rugby!
