How to (try) and stop Lebron James by GB coach Chris Finch

Team GB’s Olympic preparation continues this Thursday with the highly anticipated visit of Team USA, a game that will see the Olympic hosts tested to the fullest ahead of the opening Olympic tip on DATE.

The roster of Team USA has recently suffered several blows with star players being forced to stay home through injury. But even with the loss of some of their players, the line-up is still stacked with talent like Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.

With world famous names like that, is it simply ‘just another game’?

“It is in a sense,” said GB Head Coach Chris Finch. “We’ve got to go out there and try to keep doing our stuff well. “It’ll be fun….It’s only fun it we play hard and compete and then let the rest take care of itself.”

I’m not sure how much fun it’ll be when current MVP, Finals MVP and NBA Champion, Lebron James has the ball in his hands. Unless he can be stopped that is.

Coach?…

“We’re going to show him a lot of bodies – just like everybody tries to stop him.”
