LeBron James is one of the most feared basketball players on this planet, and now rookie Jordan Bell knows it’s easier said than done to guard him.

Jordan Bell was basically bought by the Golden State Warriors in what many thought was the steal of the draft even though it was the second round. Apparently, the youngster has been getting around and playing with some of the best because he had some kind words on trying to defend LeBron James.

According to Bleacher Report, Bell said: “It’s crazy for how big he is, how quick he is for his size and how smart he is.”

James has taken his team to seven straight Finals. His excellence on the court is incredible. Bell’s comments could not have been more spot on. It’s not often you see a player with LeBron James’ body be able to dominate like he can. His size, speed, and, most of all, his intelligence has created his success in the NBA and will continue to do so.

Bell was not finished there though. According to ESPN, Bell said: “It’s different than what you see on TV. It’s waaaay different… I just played the best defense of my life.  It didn’t matter.”

Reading this, you can just imagine Bell trying as hard as he can and James just continuing to show him the full arsenal of weapons at his disposal. James is arguably one of the NBA’s best players of all-time, and for a rookie to be able to play with him before even being in a single NBA game, that is special. Bell can learn quite a bit from a player like James, and hopefully, he soaked up all the time he had with the legend.
