Wonder what the new generation 20 yrs from now will say when they see this & what they will say about who Lebron played against. #LeBots 🤡 pic.twitter.com/JfHghbCsNP
lol
lol hopefully that new generation will understand what zone defense is and hopefully this will still be there on the internet:
———————
Jordan said this in the offseason to try to stop the illegal defense rule from being implemented. His plea failed. After a loss to the Charlette Hornets that season, Jordan said, "I never liked zones, I felt like that's a lazy way to play defense and with them, you can eliminate a lot of the stars making things happen."
"If teams were able to play zone defenses, Jordan said, he never would have had career he did."
Jordan was not the only star player who felt this way.
"If you guys could change one rule in the League, what would it be?"
Kevin Garnett: "No zone."
Tim Duncan: "Yeah, the zone."
Tracy McGrady: "That s**t is stupid."

Also - I do think Lebron had a terrible series…there is no denying that. But, same Dallas team swept defending champs Lakers and Kobe earlier in the playoffs. Kobe and LeBron had the same Game Score against Mavs.
