Doesn't change the fact that it's the most respected of defensive statistics.
Maybe i missed it, but I didn't see that statement in either of those 2 links you provided.

I'd imagine that Lebron's rating in that statististic isn't spectacular because he usually guards one of the opposing team's lesser offensive players until crunch time. Mike Brown likes to let him roam defensively. Last year in the playoffs against Orlando his man would be Rafer Alston until the 4th quarter for example.
He's a very good man defender when he needs to be. I've seen him shut down quick PGs like Tony Parker and great 2/3s like Wade and Durant.

I don't know why you're laughing. We've had this exact debate before, and it was obvious that you had no idea what you're talking about. I believe it was a game last season where Tony Parker was absolutely killing the Cavs. Mike Brown put Lebron on him, and Parker missed something like his next 7 shots in a row. That happens regularly. I've seen it also happen with Jarret Jack and a few other PGs

I don't get why that is funny.
I remember watching the exact game TTF is referring to.

Durant seems like a great kid FWIW
I think that's what really has gotten me fed up with LeBron's antics. KD just acts like a chill, normal dude. Maybe fame will poison him too, but KD's reactions this year have really impressed me. Maybe in his own light LBJ's actions have been entirely horrible, but compared to KD he seems like a pompous prick.
And I didn't mean to get anyone pissed off. Just felt like Durant was getting slighted a bit and had to come up to the rescue. Haha.
And I was mistaken. dMULT isn't a universally used thing I guess. It's hard to judge what is and isn't a good advanced considering teams are so damn secretive about that stuff (unlike baseball which is a little more open). It is well respected though, and just from looking it over I think it's pretty solid. I don't believe, as it says, that KD is a better defender than LBJ, I just think he's a lot better than people give him credit for.

Don't worry about these people...they just think whatever Nike tells them to think.
These people were probably huge T-Mac and Iverson fans also.
