A "legal position" and "Legal Guarding Position" are not the same thing. The latter is a subset of the former. In obtaining LGP the player gains the right to be moving or jumping at the time of contact. A player who only has a legal position doesn't have those rights. The player only having "legal position" but not LGP is not permitted to be moving laterally in order to remain in the path of the opponent (among other things).
