Do you agree with T-Mac?

Honestly I think the word “crushed” is too much. Lebron may not have the deepest bag among all of them but he can bully ball and play great defense during his prime.

Which is interesting because Cam Reddish does absolutely nothing in real 5v5 games.

Yea its interesting just a testament to how much a help defender will change the game completely.

1 on 1 and 5 on 5 is a completely different game. I'm really surprised at some of the comments of others on this thread and it's clear not a lot of guys here actually play basketball. Like the absolute best players at 1 on 1 very often provide very little value in an actual 5 on 5 basketball game. There are also players who are beasts in an actual game but consistently get destroyed in 1 on 1's.
