Lebron is a crazy underrated all time defender. In Miami he was somehow both a top 3 perimeter defender in the league and a top 3 frontcourt defender. I feel like his defensive prime is more impressive than Jordan, Kobe or Kawhi just for the sheer versatility, and the results speak for themselves. Even as he ages he's strong enough to switch 3-5 no issue.
@thenorthremembers728

Jordan and Kobe yes. Kawhi probably not. He was probably the best perimeter defender the game has ever seen. Size, strenght, agility and crazy hands, He was a different monster defensively from 2012-2017.

@@thenorthremembers728 Yeah but Kawhi could never leverage his body in the same way. He probably has the best perimeter defensive peak but LeBron's transition defense and combo of paint/post/perimeter excellence in his prime makes him just the most unique defender ever. He could guard 1-5 better than Rodman, Pippen, KG or Draymond.
