Ibaka smack talks Lebron! JLin wins ‘Social Breakout Player of the Year’ Award!

“LeBron is not a good defender,” Ibaka said

“He can play defense for two to three minutes but not 48 minutes.”

“LeBron can’t play (Durant) one-on-one,” Ibaka said. “They’re playing good defense like a team.” – palmbeachpost
