(WABE) - How do you stop LeBron James?
Basketball analyst and 5-time Olympian Teresa Edwards thinks it's a tough assignment:
((laugh---you can't stop him-you gotta stop everybody else around him))

The 6'8 2-hundred and 50 lbs. James is one of the most dominating players in the league averaging 32 pts a game in the playoffs.
As a team, Edwards says the Hawks can compete with the Cavaliers.
But she says head coach Mike Woodson must play an even bigger role:
((coach has to continue to smart as he can be on his timeouts and how he controls his personnel and can't have those let downs where it's mental and it's experience factor but that where the coach comes in and somehow has to keep it on the floor))

As for leading the team on the floor, Edwards says point guard Mike Bibby has to be a vocal floor general and run the Hawks offense.
