Why LeBron's Defense Is Becoming a REAL Problem (Film Study)

LeBron's defensive lapses are becoming a real problem for the Lakers. Even with the highest basketball IQ in the league, you can't overcome slow rotations and missed assignments. Watch how he gets caught on the wrong side of Steven Adams, leaks out too early on rebounds, and gives up easy penetration. At 39, the physical drop-off is natural, but teams are clearly targeting him now. The reach-around fouls and blown coverages are adding up. IQ can only compensate for so much when your legs aren't there anymore.
