mediocrity sucks
my point is the guy could be a great defender...i've seen flashes of it...but again i don't think the EFFORT is there...he's not TERRIBLE at anything...period
he has all the physical attributes to be the best at just about everything in the game...minus the consistency on the jumper and the post up game...
Well of course the guy could be a great defender. He's 6'9, 250, with exceptional speed and quickness....... It's never going to happen though. 7 years in the league though and he's still the same player he was when he came in. Hasn't improved defensively, hasn't improved his jumper. While He obviously could still improve in those areas, I wouldn't bet on it.

not many...not sure what your point is there
The reason LeBron can guard PG's is because of his size and quickness. It has literally nothing to do with being a good defender. You pretty much summed it up with another post, he can guard PG's because of his unmatched athleticism. His unmatched athleticism is the only reason he's an average defender on the wings. He's just not fundamentally sound at all as a defender, and doesn't put the effort into it as you said.
