LBron James is still the most comprehensive player in the league. It is no exaggeration to say that he can do everything to the extreme. He can shoot, pass, attack the rim and defend. Do you need a goal? It's okay, James will take care of it for you. Do you need a rebound, an interception or a block? It's okay, he can help you with it too. Whatever you need, whenever you need it.
He can do it all.
When it comes to the combination of NBA speed and athleticism, plus strength and explosiveness, you have to start with James. James is one of the most dynamic players in NBA history. He can play every position on the court and produce top statistics. Therefore, it is always a nightmare to play against James, because James can crush those faster defenders with his strength, and against taller players, James also has enough size and strength to fight physically in the low post. , and he can use his speed to get by, and there is no way to stop him from attacking the basket.
In addition, James is always looking for opportunities to involve his teammates. He is one of the strongest playmakers in the league. He will pass the ball when it is time to distribute it, and he will never be soft when it is time to play. This is LeBron James. .
2. Kyrie Irving
Kyrie Irving's dribbling is so smooth, it's like the ball sticks to his hands. Changing directions, dribbling behind his back, turning around, cutting right, cutting left, he can always go where he wants to go. His dribbling movements are so precise that you might think he has practiced every dribbling combination. But in fact Irving was just improvising on the court.
Not only can Irving dribble, he is also good at shooting and passing. He can also play behind the frame in the low post. Although he can't beat me in isolation because he is too short, he can indeed beat most players in the back. Irving's finishing ability is incredible, and he can also score many difficult goals, whether it is a floater, a fadeaway shot, a shot under physical contact, a layup against a long defense in the penalty area... no matter you He can score in any finishing method he wants to see.

So now when you talk about who are the hardest players to guard in the league, Irving is definitely one of them.
3.Kevin Durant
First of all, Kevin Durant is nearly 7 feet tall. He can play with his back to the basket, and he can also shoot and dunk over your head, but there is nothing you can do about it.

I remember one matchup very clearly: it was during my rookie season, when Durant was still with the Thunder, and I was sitting on the bench. What impressed me most was that he controlled the tempo of the entire game, and everyone else All at his mercy.
Durant is a super weapon on the offensive end. He is tall and long-handed, and his shooting is extremely accurate. He is extremely fast on the court. He can also dribble like a point guard. His ability to score is also different from ordinary people. And he is 7 feet tall? This is simply cheating!
