The 3 worst defensive ratings of LeBron’s career have been the last 3 years. If you watch him, you’ll see those stats should be even worse. League average is the best you are getting from him on the defensive end at this point.

And no he’s not a top 5 player anymore. Last year he was in the 7-8 range.

League average defense + elite offense and playmaking is basically every other superstar

Harden, curry, Durant, etcc.

He’s obviously not as good as he used to be but he’s definitely not a defensive liability and still elite in every other area.

Name 7-8 players better than LeBron last year?? Regular season.

Actually, he graded out pretty well individually. D rating is team influenced.

For anyone who wants to watch, this video assesses his D last year and posts advanced Synergy stats that are usually pay required.

The top 3 players in the NBA last year were Giannis, Kawhi, and Durant. Whichever order you want to put them in is fine, but those are your top 3.

Then Curry then Paul George.

6-10 is where it gets interesting.

I’d put Jokic at 6 - and here is where the low IQ fans show their ignorance.

AD would be at 7.

LeBron at 8.

Westbrook and Harden at 9 and 10 - don’t really care which order you put them in.

Harden was, and is, the best player in the league.

He score the Most points per possession In nba history.
And lead his team to the #5 most efficient offense in league history.
NO player has come close to that level of volume combined with efficiency. He has broken the league when it comes to offense efficiency.

Harden was in no way shape or form the best player in the NBA last year. He’s a ball hogging stat hound that has one elite skill.

I had something typed out to explain how wrong you are but it’s not even worth it.


If you think Harden was barely top 10 last year its obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about.

They lost to gsw Bc coach bzdelik didn’t prepare them for gsw w no Durant. GOAT run the same play the whole fourth quarter and coach bzdelik let the team down. Didn’t have the guys prepared to stop it.

this is a new one WBB

Guess your don’t talk bad about my guys rule doesn’t apply to the coaching staff.

Also, still referring to them as goat even when specifically talking about Durant being out of the game. Twice in 1 post you can’t even follow your own rules

That has nothing to do with my question..... Harden is a regular season stat machine that cared little about winning titles........

He’s no longer on the Rockets staff and is rumored for the Pels, it’s okay (and actually encouraged) to shite talk him and even blame him for Harden being a terrible defensive player.

That would be a good get for the Pels. He did a good job considering the defensive liability Dantoni is.

He outplayed everyone’s favorite player now, kawhi, against the warriors.

Harden was better V GOAT then kawhi was. Kawhi got lucky to face the “wounded warriors” version of GSW. The warriors might as well been hit by a IED they were so banged up by the end of that series.

not a one of those plays involved harden. Golden state purposefully went away from harden. Bc harden had shut down Kevin so much theh would run harden into a screen to get the switch so someone else besides harden would check Kevin. James was holding Kevin to sub40% shooting in ISO.
