Who’s the toughest player to guard? 🤔

The Lakers retired Kobe Bryant’s No. 8 and No. 24 because he had two 10-year hall-of-fame careers and won multiple titles in each number. LeBron wore No. 6 for two years in L.A. and went 76-88 as a Laker in the regular season wearing 6. LeBron’s No. 23 will be retired, not No. 6. – 8:35 PM

More on this storyline
Tim Grover recently made an appearance at a convention where he was asked to weigh in on the famous debate. The 58-year-old was asked to choose between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. The renowned personality began his argument with an interesting take. Grover highlighted the fact that only four times in NBA history had a player won the scoring title and MVP, was the 1st Team All-Defense, led the Playoff in scoring, and won the Finals MVP in a single season. Only one player achieved such a terrific feat – Michael Jordan. Take a look at u/Barbell_Flyes’ Reddit post. “This thing has only happened four times in the history of the NBA. Four times where one player has won the scoring title won the regular season MVP, was 1st Team Defensive Player, led the playoffs in scoring, and won the MVP in the Finals. All five things, it’s only happened four times in the NBA. You know who the four players to do it were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan.” -via The Sports Rush / July 21, 2023
LeBron James, forward, Los Angeles Lakers (five-time All-Defensive First Team, All-Defensive Second Team, four-time NBA champion) on Jabari Smith: Work. Work. That’s all there is, man. There’s no substitution for work, man. He has a bright future. -via The Athletic / July 20, 2023
Throughout the 2022-23 season, The Athletic asked a number of notable defenders for their advice for Smith on reaching their level of production, going from potential to prolific. Here’s what they had to say… Marcus Smart, guard, Memphis Grizzlies (Defensive Player of the Year 2022, three-time All-Defensive First Team, three-time Hustle Award) Keep going. This game is not catered to any defensive player. This game is all catered to the offensive players. Everything they do, they’ll always get the benefit of the doubt and you’re always going to get scrutinized as the defensive player. Just understanding that and continuing to keep going. LeBron James, forward, Los Angeles Lakers (five-time All-Defensive First Team, All-Defensive Second Team, four-time NBA champion) Work. Work. That’s all there is, man. There’s no substitution for work, man. He has a bright future. -via The Athletic / July 20, 2023
