For fun I was randomly thinking about that topic. Do we have anyone on our squad that would even pester him a little bit? pretending whichever player was in the league, and they're staring across as King James.

Scott-Brooks-Nsoesme- and just for the laughs...Kyle Washington.

Why does it matter?

It matters because I was bored and the idea of Kyle Washington guarding LBJ made me laugh out loud. Don't get me wrong, I love Kyle as much as I can love a Bearcat, but defense isn't his strong suit.

Depends on the LBJ.
Lebron James. No chance in Hades.
Lyndon Baines Johnson. Yeah he could take him.

It matters because it speaks to the paucity of NBA level talent on the roster.

I don't see any NBA players that can guard LeBron either.

Considering there doesn't seem to be a single person on the planet that can guard Lebron, I'd say no one.

We've got enough talented defensive players. Clark, Scott and Nsoseme could all give Lebron trouble (not that they'd shut him down, but he wouldn't beat them every time). A healthy Evans might be able to give Lebron trouble as well. We have quite a few excellent athletes on the team and unlike most of the NBA our players give it their all on defense.

Lance Stephenson

It'd be a toss-up...

Wonder if Mick coaches "if you can't defend him, blow in his ear"?

absolutely. is this really a topic?

lebron is the best basketball player in the world and we're wondering who on our team could guard him?

no one is always the correct answer here.

I think Jacob Evans would do as well as any other guy. Which means hold him to 30.

short answer: no

put some respect on Gary Clark name. he could absolutely force King out to the perimeter
