Supposedly he repeated this twice in a GQ magazine interview.
James takes a subtle shot at the Knicks during a pickup game against five GQ staff members. "They don't play no defense," James is quoted as saying. "They don't play no defense. New York Knicks."

We don't play much defense. Isola is a hack... not sure that anything can be implied by the level of intensity given by the Knicks and whether NY is a potential destination for LBJ in 2010. BUt because Isola wrote "if its any indication", it is worthy of posting as "news"

Who cares what LeBron says now? MDA should put it on the blackboard and see how the team responds.

Lebron is playing hard to get. Take his words with a grain of salt.

As usual, Isola took the quote all out of its intended context.

Double negative, which equals a positive. Therefore we actually play D.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

He was just trying to be sneaky with more praises for the Knicks.

Here's Kobe playing D on Lebron. Kobe harasses him all the way down the court, corners him and then takes the ball like he was taking candy from a baby.



Some more Kobe vs Lebron



Kobe owns the King, no doubt about it. Kobe is still the best player in the NBA. He has a complete game and is clutch. Given the choice, I'd rather have Kobe on the Knicks. Peace out

1. They don't play D so I don't get what the story is. It's good to know LeBron has eyes.

2. It didn't even register with me when I read it in the actual interview. Dude was playing a pickup game. It's not like he sat down with a reporter talking like Yoda on crack. I really don't believe that it was a continuous thought like he just walked up on 5 people and said, "They don't play no D. They don't play no D. New York Knicks."

In between stomping them, he was probably joking around with some NYers who happened to work for GQ and were giving up a foot and 100 pounds compared to him that they were just like the Knicks. He was probably shouting/talking trash like damn near anyone else does during a run. Isola obviously wouldn't know since he doesn't play.

How thirsty are the media going to get with this?

I think that is a great point you raise. I seriously hope this doesn't turn into some whirlwind thing where LeBron gets turned off by the NY media and it negatively impacts his decision to choose the Knicks in 2010.

I think you're right about the context of the "quote" too. He was probably talking trash and just messing with these guys. To D'Antoni's credit, I do think the Knicks are actually playing some pretty good TEAM defense.. not great but "ok." You put some skilled 2way players on this team (like a LeBron) and I can see it being an extremely good offensive team AS WELL AS a great defensive team. Great individual defensive players breed good team defense.
