In no way does LeBron play 1 on 1. He gets doubled less because there are consequences to doubling him Every time the rockets doubled LeBron tonight it lead directly or indirectly to a wide open 3 or easy lay up Here's the footage:

Preachhhh. YOU CANNOT DOUBLE LEBRON LIKE YOU CAN DOUBLE KD. Bron will make you pay every time

It was so sad ime had no clue what to do. Send the double late he gets it to his center on the short roll. Send it early he attacks past it, send it at the right time and he just sprays it out for an open 3 lol

The end result is so different when KD is doubled and when LeBron is doubled

I can’t believe people wanted him off this team. I don’t know how they are winning but he’s giving them a chance to at least get their 2 leading scorers back and they are running a completely different offense than they ran all season on the fly. He didn’t do this all year. Smh

@Kirsh_TLFO I swear these idiots haven’t played a lick of basketball before lmao it’s well known that’s the hardest thing about game planning for LeBron, you can’t play 1 on 1 because of how dangerous he is in iso ball & you can’t double him because he will make the right play

He also doesn’t allow the double to come. KD waits until he’s doubled to make a decision.. Bron gets off the ball before the double even fully commits, which really gets them out of position

This is the same dude that gave up his 10 point streak to Rui in the corner for a game winner btw

Kd stans can't understand this simple concept. Being an elite passer = less double teams / better passes out of doubles that lead to better opportunities KD isn't an elite passer. Lebron is. Simple difference.

fr bro people just be saying shit, lebron creates most of their open shots, or at least starts the action

Granted, to give KD some credit, you give Amen and Sengun those looks, and they're still bricking it, but KD really just cannot make the same reads that you expect from your superstar. The other top guys from his era: Harden, Steph, Bron, Russ, all could punish traps like that.

Those were the only times he was doubled, and lakers players made the shots everytime . Kd got doubled every play, 90% of the time got out the trap to an open player and they bricked stop being dumb .

they must’ve forgot lebron a floor general and has the highest basketball IQ ever.

Someone with a brain on this app, thank you. It's like people saying KD was the #1 option on GSW, when if you watched the game the only reason he was "#1 option" was because they guarded Steph with 3 players a night.

LeBron came out game 1 passing the rock there’s a reason he had 8 asst 1st q. So that when this shit happens the guys are hot and ready to let that bitch fly

@TaySixO Lebron iq so high he always makes the second read which cripples the defense only the elite players can make those reads and passes

Dumb ass Katie fans man disgusting.

He might as well call Steph in the offseason and work that out. Give his legacy that boost again🤣

41 year old washed dude getting double teamed in playoffs is funny af

What happened in the finals ?

that pass to rui from half court

Do you know crazy it is to think about it LeBron has 27 points per game basically hurt his whole career and still managed to be top four assist all the time. People can see what they want. I never we never will see that again.

@TaySixO Bro this nikka bron is too nice😭😭😭😭

What I find hilarious about people saying they should double LeBron. He's the last superstar in NBA history anyone should ever even think about doubling because he will pass out of it. The overwhelming majority of other superstars will take on the challenge and shoot over it

I don't understand why they just abandoned how they were defending him in the first half..it was working too 😂

@TaySixO Yea this mf waayy better than KD 😂

@DFreeDBZHD That’s because LeBron knows how to handle a hard double… KD in year 18 cannot do that because he’s never been on a team where he had the responsibility of being an actual ball handler. Him doing a tween tween hesi doesn’t mean he’s a ball handler…

now lets imagine this team playing like this with luka and austin back.. and everyone says we have no chance vs okc, definitely have a chance!

Luka needs to follow suit

Are you admitting LeBron has shot makers around him?

I counted 4 double teams. KD got blitzed the entire game.

You're absolutely right! That's what makes LeBron so terrifying he can not only score but also instantly find an open teammate when he's double-teamed. Double-teaming him is practically a suicide mission. The video analysis is spot on

Why isn’t amen just guarding him I can’t wrap my head around it so there’s no need to double

Okay so since he gets doubled less because he has better options around him There should be no excuses if they lose this series right?

Lebron is just different and people that hate just don’t actually appreciate good basketball

Compare that to this and it's disgusting
