He was primarily guarding Kawhi Leonard who abused him most of this series and won the FMVP.

He wasn't great on the defensive end this series, but in no way is his defense overrated.

Is Leonard's defense overrated since he got extreme help defense (1-2 people every play) guarding Lebron and he got abused by Lebron?

Nah, he's pretty damn good.

I'm not a LeBronie, but the dude is the best player in the league.

It isn't overrated, but not nearly at the level it used to be. He can still turn it on at times, but his defensive numbers were down a lot this year.

what the frick finals were you watching. Lebron had to guard who ever started hitting - which was basically the whole Spurs team.

His defense isn't overrated. He's the best perimeter defender in the league. He just can't play it for stretches because of the load he carries offensively.

It's another Lebron myth. He is not a great one on one defender unless he is guarding a smaller player because he can use his length and quickness to stop them from getting to the basket. But you could shoot jumpers on him all day because he sags off. But I will give him credit he is a great shot blocker.
