But I know he guarded Parker at times that series in the NBA finals. Whether it was a one man zone two years ago I'm not sure of and whether he did it well, I doubt as Parker was finals MVP so doubtful and he didn't do it the whole game...but if you look at film for that entire series, I can guarantee you he guarded Parker at times by plan.

In a desperate situation with no one else available in a one sided series, they may have tried it. Hell, they were getting killed so i would have tried to. That was not the case the other night and i hope they do the same thing tonight. I invite you to watch the tape from game 1 and give honest feedback as to whether or not anyone was being "guarded".
The original contention was that "lebron can cover 5 positions" which is simply not true as no one was being "guarded" the other night. Barkley and Collins agree with me but chuck knows more than them about basketball because they are only entertainers and not basketball people.
