Horrific but true. Can you imagine Nate forcing a talent like Lebron to change his game for Nate's "system." Sadly, I can. The PG must shoot threes and the SF must camp out in the corner and wait, and wait, and wait. Then the fans can blame the natural PG for taking and missing outside shots and blame the SF for camping out in the corner and waiting and waiting and waiting.
I am pretty sure LeBron's defense IS Nate's philosophy of defense. I actually remember hearing LeBron crediting Nate with some of his improvement on defense after last year's Olympic games. Here is the only direct quote I found from him: http://www.kgw.com/sports/olympics/..._081908_olympics_mcmillan_coach.124b6274.html Kobe and Kidd seem to be fans as well...
