Paul George Would Rather Guard LeBron James Than Kevin Durant.
Per Scott Agness of Pacers.com:
Following the Pacers’ 118-94 loss in Oklahoma City, George told reporters that Durant is his toughest cover in the league.
‘It is,’ he said. ‘It is a tougher matchup. I watch their games, I watch a lot of NBA games. And offensively, KD is most of the times he’s scoring in bunches off of iso plays and one-on-one plays.
‘And when they play against us, he’s moving a lot. He’s the screener, he’s getting back-screened and he’s coming off pin-downs and it’s a little different when I’m guarding him and it makes it a tougher cover.’
…So when George says it’s harder to cover Durant than James, he’s really just making an observation about the way the Thunder utilize KD. The Miami Heat generally put the ball in LBJ’s hands and very rarely send him running from sideline to sideline through a gauntlet of bone-jarring picks.
