I'll go ahead and say that LeBron is top 2 all-time among non-centers, trailing only Jordan. And that's because those two guys were dominant on both ends of the court.

I would rather see him get 60 though than leave Love alone for uncontested 3's. Historically that's always been the Celtics' way of dealing with elite scorers. Make THEM beat you, not the other guys. But it does seem awfully easy for him to score, so maybe that's suicide too.

The issue with Lebron ISO is that he is unstoppable 5 feet from the basket. I can live with BOS forcing him to take 3's, but allowing him single coverage within 5 feet is almost a given.
