Former LeBron James Stopper Reveals Secret to Containing LA Star

LeBron James is the best player the league has ever seen, and his stopper has something to say about this. Who is this guy? Lance Stephenson is one of the very few people who found a way to contain the king of basketball. LeBron is an incredible player, and has been playing elite basketball for over two decades. Very few players tried to challenge him on the basketball court.

Stephenson is now part of the G League’s Grand Rapid Gold. He talked about his experience with LeBron. This player gave LeBron a really hard time back in the days. What’s the secret behind this success?

“It was a great challenge,” Stephenson said. “My teammates said: ‘Pick up on him, don’t let him get nothing easy, we’re gonna have your back.’ And I knew from the jump that they weren’t just gonna have me playing one-on-one with him. That’s what helped me a lot because I knew if I pressured him, I knew four other guys were gonna be there for me, be held accountable and have my back all the time.”

LeBron James to deal with another stopper in the final stage of his career

Got it? If you want to stop LeBron, you have to rely on teamwork. Well, this doesn’t work all the time, but it works if you are motivated to win.

When it comes to Stephenson, he still wants to get that ring. This is his greatest dream. Hopefully, he will be able to get one before he retired. Playing with the G League affiliate of the Denver Nuggets won’t get him any near the championship win, but he has a chance.

LeBron and his Los Angeles Lakers want to win, but the four-time NBA champion will miss a few weeks due to an injury. This is the least desired scenario, but we can’t avoid injuries. It’s impossible to get over a big injury. LeBron is taking a good care of his body and he recovers sooner than expected. Let’s see what happens in the next couple of months. The Lakers should try to win more games in LeBron’s absence.
