heat lebron was one of the best defenders i’ve ever seen
I could not believe energy and ability he was putting on the floor back then every night, looking back its frightening to me cuz no other player in the NBA has been able to duplicate that 2010-2013 LeBron.
They lie about MJ every time but go watch full games, imo he wasnt near as scary of an impact player as Heat Bron... Bron is scary good yet is disrespected like hes not even good sometimes. Why cant Kd or somebody experience that. Best player I will ever see gets disrespected on worse than the worst players in the nba 🤣🤣 Bron gets more disrespect than Kuzma
@@Xanninja 'Not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7'
Heat lebron would shut Michael Jordan and im a mj fan
internet 12 year olds don’t know this LeBron. They hear the “LeBron can’t defend” narrative and run with it
Cap that’s yall old heads not us 12 year old kids
@@dariusisfamous2840 Nah it's def ya'll lil ass kids on Twitter runnin ya'lls mouths about how he can't defend. He's an elite defender now if he chooses to be, he just isn't always exerting his energy on that end.
@@IChoozUpikachu Bro them old heads do it too man. I see far more of them than the young cats.
Well lets just say all the haters say it. Haters can hate man but whats facts its facts they cant do anything about it 🤷🏼♂️.
But lebron hasn’t defended like this for years. He doesn’t even try defensively anymore
This dude was a Draymond level defender while also averaging 27 Pts 7 rebs and 7 asts on 56% shooting in his prime lmao
Bron deserved 2013 DPOY.
@@wellingtonpadillamolina3508 facts he should have at least 2
Or 1
Better than Dray IMO and that's no disrespect to Draymond. Bron's quicker on his feet, better recovery, quicker hands, better all around anticipation coz of his IQ and his strength is almost on par with most centers while still being as agile as most guards.
@@wellingtonpadillamolina3508 facts he got robbed that year fr. Went his hardest and was straight lockdown that whole year and then gave it to marc gasol smh. Not saying marc was a bad defender at the time but Lebron was out of his mind defensively that year. His best overall season. 26 8 7 and shot his highest 3 point percentage with his best defense on 56 percent shooting.
1:24 he literally just intercepted a pass from the perimeter and went on to block the shot down low and then saved the ball. Crazy defensive sequence and hustle right there.
Craziest sequence ever. He just teleports around the court, the guy is everywhere. Dpoy for sure that season.
Lebron lockdown on harden really amazing
"There can be only 1 James and it's me the king lol" said by King James LeBron
Right 💪🏾
Some people like to forget how good of a defender this guy was.
He was elite from ~2008 to 2014, dropped off in 2015, and came back the next year posting advanced defensive metrics on par with Kawhi (the DPOY) and Draymond Green (the following season's DPOY). He then solidified his defensive prowess in the playoffs and became the only player in history to lead both teams in all 5 major stat categories for a playoff series of any length-he did it in a 7-game series against the winningest regular season team ever, no less.
Locked up guards (Derrick Rose, Tony Parker, etc.), protected the rim (2009, 2013, 2016 come to mind), picked off passes... his résumé has it all except for the DPOY award itself, which was given to Marc Gasol instead even though he originally wasn't even going to be on either of the all-defensive teams that season.
should’ve been DPOY in 2013 could’ve been in 2012 as well this video is for all the haters that say he can’t defend
Facts can make the case he was robbed both years.
I believe 20 something coaches voted for him to win DPOY but the media only voted for him 6 times. 2012-2013 dpoy shoulda been his
lol joakim Noah defensive stats better than brons fr😂 but we not gone talk ab that tho
@@Ju.Ju._77 in what😂 if you say blocks than of course😂 that Noah nigga is like 7 foot. Better be getting more blocks than bron. Other than blocks lebron was a way better all round defender. Bro would be switching from tony allen to Tim Duncan and getting a stop
@@Ju.Ju._77that was in 2013-14 when Noah won the DPOY award. OP is talking about 2012-13 so no Noahs defensive stats weren't better than Brons that season.
People disrespect LeBron's defense as if this man can't defend well on the perimeter against guards, down low against bigs as a rim protector, and also is arguably the greatest transition defender of all-time. He's a 3-level scorer and a 3-level defender.
3 level defender makes no sense lol
@@brownfood5365 you have no iq of basketball knowledge read between the lines 😂😂😂
@@kevenrowe2958 he dont defend man he just standing around padding his stats and wait for the perfect opportunity to block a shot
@@dxtremecaliber 😂😂 false narrative follower , you don’t actually watch the full game
@@dxtremecaliber false false false smh.
This man 36 n haters still expect him to do this all the time. He can do it when it counts but not night in night out like he used to
Facts it’s impossible and unrealistic to ask that or expect that out of a player this late in their career
@@djones1943 in a way it's also a sense of respect because most ppl just expect that out of him because he been successful and dominate for so long so when he loses ppl say he ain't good enough when he really just wearing down some
@@christopherthames6120 your absolutely correct bro! It’s just crazy to me bro.. how much disrespect he gets vs how much he’s appreciated
Especially because LeBron is a 5 time all defensive 1st team and 1 time all defensive 2nd team.
that's how you know he is the goat lol the expectations are crazy

Facts
@John Imegi stop it
@John Imegi if it was inflated by team defense i would assume mj would be higher if he played with pippen, rodman and grant who are all defensive units lol
💯
He was deserving of DPOY in both 2012 and 2013. Peak prime LeBron was sensational on defense could guard 1-4 effectively and at times could be a real force at the 5.
2012 I agree but 2013 I would’ve given it to tony Allen
2012 should’ve been Noah 🤷🏽♂️ check stats
he could guard the 5 certainly better than most 5s
@@tridra5714 Shoot we just saw him do a better job at guarding Jokic than AD did in the west finals
@@tridra5714 That's not true. LEbron did not guard 5s anywhere near as much as people think he did
Should've won the DPOY award in 2013 over Gasol.
Facts
Look at that stats. He prolly should’ve won it over Tyson Chandler too
@@alexanderpringle2305 damn you right! Wonder why they really didn’t give him the nod in his prime seriously
@@alexanderpringle2305 damn that's a good call too. So he should be a 2xDPOY. Probably all the voter fatigue of him being in his prime during those years.
Agree with you.
2017-2018 was the best I’ve ever seen on both sides of the court
True
@John Imegi Lebron’s Defense wasn’t that bad his team’s defense was they played none at all he started the season charged up on both sides of the court but soon figured he’s gonna burn himself out
Lol I never could understand when people say he can’t defend. Yet every single one of his championships and deep playoff runs have required him to do elite things on both ends of the court. Look at his last title when he was fully healthy,he was so locked in defensively.
As far as I'm both an MJ and LBJ fan, in my opinion, this is why i consider MJ as the GOAT shooting guard and LBJ as the GOAT all around player.
Couldn’t have said any better MJ is the best scoring gaurd and Bron best all around player
💯
I usually say Michael Jordan is the “Greatest Of All Time” and Lebron James is “The Best Basketball Player To Ever Exist”
Analysts always talks about how Harden is the most unguardable player but closes their eyes when Bron locks him up.
💯
@John Imegi james shot 25 percent from 3 when guarded by LeBron.
@@johnimegi5483legoat you mean
He’s so good at a defense. I remember when he would play the Knicks with melo and when he really wanted to. He would Lock melo up so bad.
1:22 this clip is crazy 😂
He’s become the most underrated defender in NBA history due to clowns constantly hating on him to prop up their favorite players (you know who I’m talking about)
i’m talking prime lebron on defense over jordan any day of the week 💯y’all old heads not gonna like that
lebron could easily defend anyone specially when he tries, but u can't defend all game long while also carrying your team. hmmmm if you can, u aint reachin 17seasons at a consistent high level.
jordan got a defensive specialist, pippen. so all jordan got to to is to score. while bron need to do a little bit of everything. stating some facts.
what? all jordan got to do was to score? come on he is one of the best backcourt defenders in NBA history. Jordan definitely put his efforts on defence and he is 9 times ALL Defensive team with one DPOY while scored the highest avg point in NBA history. GOAT for a reason.
Also, lebron got amazing defensive ability too
@@pop_dog Jordan's defense was amazing. I don't think you can say all Jordan had to do was score but he definitely didn't have to put in a crazy amount of effort defensively every game because he had Scottie. MJ didn't have to defend the best player on the court, just torch them on offense. Also please don't take this as me diminishing MJ because he is an all time great defender but All defensive teams and DPOYs are based a lot on narrative and reputation. There is no exact defensive stats that the media look at to vote for those things. LeBron should have a lot more, Jrue Holiday should have a lot more and only started recently really getting recognized by the media for his defense because KD came out and said he was the best defender in the league.
uhhhhmmmm, uhhhhmmmm. i respect jordan with all his effort. but he doesn't have to do everything on his team. he does the scoring tho. he has a great passer, has a great coach, has a great defender, has a great rebounder. and has a great team that is build around him. while bron, trying to get all of that in his team also. because you can't win a game on your own. glad bulls team knows what their roles are. but brons? cmmon. he jump teams to get carried? nah bro, he jump teams and those teams he jumped? they are finals contender. but with the skills and talent the nba have right now? forget about the softness. its hard to do everything on your own specially in your what 17 seasons? and still at a high consistent level?
im just trying to say that no matter who's the goat, everyone has a goat. let's just respect each other, not my problem if you feel lonely in your life and all you have to do is keep on hating.
keep safe have a nice life.
@@divoc91x25 also, I know they said the 90s were a much more physical time, but fact of the matter is the pace in today's game is way wayyyy faster than it was then, and if you were to exert that much effort ALL THE TIME, its just not possible to have enough energy to last through the game. And certainly increases your wear and tear exponentially. Fact that lebron has played through the transition of the game from its somewhat still physical era, into the high paced, high octane style game that it is today, and has still sustained himself as one of the best in the league 18, going to be 19 seasons in, that fact in itself is already unreal.
@@MrHollowmickz uhhumm, uhuumm.🤷
Can play 1-5, can defend 1-5. Ladies and gentlemen, LEBRON JAMES❤
Lebron hasn't guard the 1 or 5 close to as often as people think he has. Theoretically he should be able to do all that, but in actual practice it's not what people think. I can't think of a single series where the other team had a great big man where Lebron slowed them down
@@SonicBoomC98 lebron guarded garnett for a good chunk in 2012 and also shut down mvp drose. He was also doing a nice job against pascal in his 2nf stint with cavs. He also guarded bam decently against miami in the bubble
And he can probably shut down MJ in his prime
But LeBron doesn't play defense though. If he doesn't lead his team in literally every category, not turnover the ball, have a near perfect field goal percentage, win completely by himself (literally, with no other players doing anything), and play every single game, win the championship every year, his haters will find something to complain about.
Been waiting for this one. LeBron is capable od making great plays when he tries. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for supporting my videos as always bro!!😎
Lebron always tries he’s never been a defensive liability. The only flaw in lebron’s defense is when he’s off the basketball he tends to stare at the basketball sometimes which leads to him losing his man on a cut to the basket or open three but lebron is a great defender period. Not just great when he tries
@@edrickjames7532 Agree with what you say bro. He may have lack of focus sometimes when he's off the ball. But when he use his physical talent in combination with his physical sense, he could be a lockdown defender which is usually overlooked by NBA fans or haters.
@@edrickjames7532 yes he has. You clearly don't watch games, solely highlights. I'm a fan of his but he routinely gives up on defense, blames his teammates for his mistakes, and has the worst body language of any star player ever.
@@pierrecausemybladdersempty1678
Idk what tf you have been watching, but that was a poor assessment of LeBron's defense...
Lebron is stronger than the fastest player
and faster than the strongest player.
Handles ball like a guard and can outmuscle a legit center at the same time.
Such a freak
What legit center has he outmuscled? Sure as hell not Dwight Howard
@@TheIcemanthomas read again bruh
@@TheIcemanthomas last he checked he averaged 39 point per game on the defensive player of the year in 2009
One of the sweetest things to hear was “blocked by james!” Aah man that was music to my ears
Whoever says he has no defence...living under a rock...even haters go to his defensive highlights...and still hate...damn shame
I like how a lot and I mean a lot of those highlights were on top tier scorers and players too not just average bench players. The last minute was all on harden
Damn. Ive never searched his defensive highlights. That kobe pass he clipped than blocked at the rim was INSANE!!! Damn
Look at LeBron man so inspirational
Somebody tried to tell me Lebron isnt a monster on defense.....
LeBron is definitely a underrated defender when he actually tries. He's more offense focused/trying to save energy or not be in faul trouble because it'll hurt his team. LeBron is one of the only players in NBA history who can literally guard every position.

Thanks a lot!
What I've noticed is that he doesn't hustle to plays he knows are over, or plays he lacks the angle to contest properly, so at times it looks like his defensive effort is weak. At the end of the day though he is still 5x NBA all-defense 1st team for a reason. When he does have the right angle, he does deliver.
He also isn't 30 anymore an has 18 seasons under his belt. Nobody that played 18 season was locking people up.
I see no haters comment here.
They'll die just watching this majestic defense of James.
The only people that discredit his defense are people that want to elevate their favorite players to be better.
3:08 Curry tried to put eem on a poster😭 DENIED
To whoever think Bron can't defend just remember that the phrase "block by James" will forever haunt some players especially igudala
HE's 6'9, 260, and athletic. He should be able to get blocks,
@@SonicBoomC98he will prob block your shot shorty
@@kjgotrizz there is nothing special about LeBron outside if his physical presence
@@SonicBoomC98 he top 5 and 10 on everything
@@SonicBoomC98 y'all act like mj was perfect when legoat was the closest to it
Kids nowadays might never witnessed this Lebron James version, all they knew was all about Skip's lmao
Everyone was getting the business in the paint with Lebron Present. MJ was not going that. This is what makes him the goat. This man blocked almost every big man In His era and still scores 27pts and assist the ball 7-8 times that’s nuts!!
On help defense. LeBron could block a lot of folks on help defense also, but he doesn't have the luxury of leaving his man open, cause you know, they can hit the 3 now. Back in MJ's days, he's only worried about the paint. Easier job.
U clearly never watched mj
@@TheIcemanthomas MJ was not doing that.
There are literal videos of mj blocking centers and forwards. Btw mj has the most blocks in a season by a guard and he did it twice over 100 each time. Lebron never had more than 93 blocks in a season and Lebron is much bigger. We aren't even going to mention steals.
4:54 he threw that down with so much power…
Another reminder of how good the pre-Durant Cavs-Warriors rivalry could have been... the intensity of those first two series was completely destroyed when he joined up with them...
MJ wasn't doing this shit. Imagine if Giannis had a jumpshot and Magic level passing. That was Lebron at one point. 2012-2018 Lebron was the absolute GOAT.
czcams.com/video/jGDdDkaxLnU/video.html
You probably never watched Jordan play. GOAT my ass.
@@AhmeenTheDreamJordan is no goat either
Lebron guarding Harden was so underrated, they kept making him drive right, make him uncomfortable, that's why he always passes out. Lebron's ready for his stepback 3, he has no choice but to try to drive then pass outside for a teammate 3.
Looking like torture chamber for harden lol
how u not gonna include THAT block tho
Yes the BLOCK AGAINST SAN ANTONIO
@@VersaceHarrison rip tiago splitter
Great + underrated defender 😮😊
Nice montage.
His face at the first clip💀
Ok I get it. When LeBron’s Team is up or less than 10 points behind, he plays defense. That’s when he gets his highlights.
That 83-80 score of Miami vs Chicago almost feels like an eternity ago when teams now regularly go for +120ppg
Really had somebody try and tell me this past weekend that Bron has never been a good on ball defender😂😂😂
I think if LeBron just had one more all star calibre player during his old Cavalier days, he would have been the greatest of all time, because he can do much more on the defensive end, with some pressure off the offensive end.
No he wouldn't have. Can do and will do are two different things. Anyone that looks at multiple whole games from him and MJ can see an obvious difference in intensity on the defensive end, even in the Wizards years
@@SonicBoomC98 mj had a top 5 and a bench mj didn't make it to the playoffs till all the players better than him retired he couldn't beat Dennis rodman defense so he get him on his team he could never beat the bad boy pistons until all them retired he legoat passed mj in scoring in 7 years and Jordan played 15 y'all act like mj was perfect or sum you prob know him off his shoes
@@kjgotrizz MJ did make it to the playoffs in the beginning of his career is what you're saying? All the Pistons retired? What crack are you smoking? As soon as Jordan realized he could trust his teammates or had teammates he could trust nothing the Pistons did could stop him. You people talk like the Pistons players were drafted in 72. The only reason any of the Pistons tactics worked against MJ was because he was a one man show and they were playing football on the basketball court. Top 5? Where do you get this BS?
@@SonicBoomC98 Isaiah Thomas retired that's when he started winning you would know if he didn't have that team he would have lost him and pippen got the same amount of rings so what you mean bro
@@kjgotrizz so how could Isaiah be retired and walk off the court without shaking hands at the same time? You do realize that Isaish was only drafted 3 years before MJ right? The only reason the Pistons were able to beat the Bulls for those first few years was because they knew they were a ream basically playing against one man. Even Isaiah admitted that they knew MJ had no one to give up the ball to or that he thought he could. So, you're saying the Pistons are lying on themselves?
Ppl just pure haters....this man actually playing the 5 at 37.....and doin it on both ends....MVFUCKINGP....who else in the league doin this...ill wait
Definitely not even close to “doing it on both ends” this season. Lebrons chasing the scoring title, not wins
1:22 goat shit
Yessir
Id say that he was a good 1on 1 defender and a great support defender which shows in this vid
6 defensive teams is all you need to know... Hype doesn't equal FACTS.
6x all nba defense (5x first team all defense), runner up dpoy 2x, defensive rating of 104.1, 9th all time in steals, greatest chase down blocker of all time.
We define Lebrons defense throughout his career by the way he plays defense now , he’s 38 can’t move laterally like he use too but can still defend in the post , chase down block and get in between passes for steals
tbh, i was expecting a 5 second video
cause you're a casual
Man a great defender but its next to impossible to do both things on the court playing full minutes with no allstars in the team
Not true. Plenty of stars did it. Hakeem, jordan, Kobe, wade, wilt, Kareem, etc
Hate to break it to all your haters but his 2013 season with the heat was better defensively than any of Jordans seasons. He guarded all 5 positions at an elite level. Just cause he didn't win it doesn't mean it wasnt better than Jordans
Most underrated defensive player ever
Not even close. Shawn Marion
Underrated dunk @4:34
Fax
Man's really didn't include game 7 block against warriors to essentially secure Cleveland's title...
I didn’t see a lot of sit down defense tho idk man he’s great at playing within a defensive system tho
1:23-1:30 bro did it all
🐐
no wonder he's the GOAT
thats why he is a 6x All defensive team
Passing highlights 🙏🏾
For Lebron?
Ok I will do it
@@zhugelianges yea
Most of these highlights are against guys not close to his level or close to his size. The highlights against Pau look good, but I followed Pau almost his whole career. He wasn't exactly Shaq or The Dream. A lot of these "highlights" are pretty standard plays
Tim Duncan? Kawhi? Dwight?
One day his defense will get the respect it deserves
Lebron has crazy core strength. You can see it in how he defends. Dudes will beat him off the dribble and because he's like a wall he recovers and knocks their momentum off. Harden shook him 2 times and because he recovers harden gave up trying to score on him. You can't teach genetics bit lebron also never falls for pumpfakes. As much flack as he gets defensively he plays similar to kawhi. They don't foul and they only take chances when they know they can create the turnover
Lebron can lock anyone down when he turns it up. the bubble lakers were godlike on D because he was on along with AD
Haha . LeBron was bullying Gasol with EASE!
ya notice how Harden gave the ball up when LeBron guarded him
Not a Lebron fan but he should of won Defensive Mvp 1 of his first 2 yrs in Miami.
Kevon Martin
u can look up any part of lebrons skillset highlights and there all unbelievable 😂 bro has a 12 minute chasedown block highlight tape and 8 min logo shot tape and hes the best passer in the league there is no nba player in history even on his level
When people say LeBron can gauged 1 through 5 they mean prime LeBron who could lock down anybody
LeBron can still do it right now, remember he locked Jokic down every time he gets switched on him during the 2020 playoffs while also forcing Jamal Murray to make bad shots and blocking him a couple of times. Trust me, it's not just prime LeBron. Current LeBron still capable, but not on the level he used to.
King LeBron James 👑👑👑👑👑👑
Haiku
lebron could be defender of the year if he wanted
Damn how ya’ll missed the block on iggy and on splitter?
Tony Parker
My favorite Lebron has to be Miami lebron
But I’m loving Lakers Lebron
It's only haters that will dislike this video
Just 5 of them
So lebron on the left, Westbrook in the right and AD in the middle, good luck lol
I thought the warriors had dirty players but I didn't think it was good guy curry...3:34 watch him keep his foot out awkwardly and looking down to spot where LeBron was landing...nobody looks down to land and will usually try to land evenly on each foot when falling straight down....Dirty Curry!
Actually he only landed on one foot! You can see his weight completely rebound off one foot, keeping his other foot out to be under Bron...
back when lebron was that athletic (miami) is the best player ever
lebron is capable of giannis level help defense but he can't do it night in night out like he use to back in miami so he chooses moments to exert himself to that level of defense
A lot of those blocks were on the clutch. Just saying!
80% of this vidéo is BLOCK BY JAMES !!!!
lol
@@zhugelianges do a mix Sosa on shaq please
And they say he don't play defense lol
이때 디포이 받았어야됐는데
Pippen, Mutumbo, Jordan, Charles Oakley, Dwight, Ben Wallace, MJ all legendary defenders Lebron couldn’t hold a candle to those guys. Lebron can’t be the GOAT because he doesn’t play defense! It’s as simply as that you can’t play one side of the court!!! Oh wait he has better “Defensive Win Share” then all of them 😂 whoops
Well yea you just listed some of the greatest defenders ever, obviously he isn’t on to the level of those guys. Doesn’t change the fact that in his prime he was an elite defender. Offensively however, the gap is even bigger with LeBron being miles ahead of those guys (except for MJ)
6x all nba defense (5x first team all defense), runner up dpoy 2x, defensive rating of 104.1, 9th all time in steals, greatest chase down blocker of all time.
6'8 guy blocking people from behind or someone else's guy compilation
