6'8'' Lebron James Says He Is Up To The Challenge Of Guarding 5'9'' Nate Robinson, How Daring Of Him

LeBron James has just about a foot on Nate Robinson, which might make for an interesting matchup in Game 2. The Heat was outgunned 35-24 in the final period [of Game 1], with the Bulls scoring the final 10 points of the game. At the center of Chicago’s dominant late-game charge was diminutive point guard Nate Robinson, who scored nine of the Bulls‘ final 12 points, including the last seven of the game. … The Heat‘s frontcourt players share equal responsibility for picking up Robinson once he moves into the paint. After Monday’s defensive debacle, LeBron James said he “wouldn’t be surprised” if he was “stuck” guarding Robinson late in games. “I’ll take the challenge on anyone,” James said.

Wow, what a hero Lebron is. He’s going to guard the guy who is 1 foot shorter and 80 pounds lighter than him? Fearless, absolutely fearless Lebron.

All joking aside, because I’m not someone who blindly hates Lebron (I hate Wade much much more), this just shows how great Nate has been in the postseason. He leads the league in 4th quarter playoff scoring and now the Heat are basically saying we can’t stop him so we need to put the best defender in the league on him. I love it. Nate is the best. Yeah he’s scary sometimes when he refuses to stop shooting but he has solved our biggest problem, 4th quarter offense, and he’s awesome to root for. Ultimate underdog. Love it.

Oh and for anyone who calls Nate a punk or selfish, shut it. You’re just being a hater.
