The Legs

This was a tricky one. The most prototypical leg design we could think of was the very person we are trying to stop. We need power mixed with agility and quickness to be able to step in front and force LeBron to change directions while dribbling.

John Wall’s legs are the perfect blend of power and speed. With the ball we all know Wall is one of the, if not the, fastest players in the league, which means without it he is even faster. With these legs being given to our LeBron stopper, Wall will be able to beat James to the spot he wants to get to off the dribble.

It will force him to change directions of the drive, because he can’t turn his back and back down a Nene torso/John Wall leg power combo.

Not many people remember, but John Wall was a member of the 2014-15 All-Defensive Team. He’s no stranger to getting down in a stance and putting the clamps on opposing guards. This past year he lead the entire league in steals with 157.

A big reason for that is being in the right place at the right time in lightning quick fashion. Having John Wall legs on this Frankenstein also allow it to jump just as high as LeBron to contest everything at the rim.
