Lakers coach JJ Redick hailed LeBron James for his defense after Sunday's impressive 116-110 win over the in-form Memphis Grizzlies despite public opinion, the eye test and analytics suggesting otherwise this season.
LeBron not tracking back after missed field goals has been one of the biggest reasons behind opponents hurting LA in transition, creating a numbers advantage with multiple players advancing.
But that didn't stop Redick from labeling the 39-year-old as the 'best' on the team for his attention to detail on the defensive end after an impressive shift.
"He's the best on our team with attention to detail and shifts," Redick said (via Sportskeeda's Mark Medina. "His high shift to then close, his high shift and to then get back to his man. He was great with that tonight."
