Obviously this would wear him down just like covering a big guy leaning
on his legs, so it is clearly not desirable. Just like it would not be desirable
for the Lakers to have Kobe covering Tony Parker the whole game,
just in spots.
Okay, he can cover extremely slow NBA point guards...once in a while. He can cover derek fisher or jason kidd who are both ancient. Can he cover derek rose? devin harris? Gilbert Arenas? Tony Parker? Chauncey Billups? These arent even the best.

Lebron is 6 8 250. He doesnt have nearly enough lateral mobility to cover an NBA point guard. He doesnt have enough lateral mobility to cover the quicker NBA two guards. He doesnt have the size to cover Legit NBA centers.

This is such an incredibly dumb argument i cant believe i am entertaining it.
