he does ok in smaller spaces against better athletes currently


I was talking about Ronaldo's 7000 stepovers that he needs to beat people when he's not dribbling on the counter

well we can also switch it up and think about what lebron could do as a CB


I think the best argument to be made for something new that an elite athlete like Lebron could bring to the game would be that he would be an extremely tall defender who would be less likely to be victimized by small attackers

Theo Walcott is a good prototype for the kind of athlete we should be targeting. Granted Walcott is probably one of the best athletes in the UK right now (son of a former track star), but his physical attributes are about what we see from several of our "failed" athletes.
