Best "1-On-1 Defense" Moments Of The 2021-22 NBA Season

[@abundantgrowthbasketball3975]

One of the most exciting defense videos I’ve seen in a while. This is the best part of basketball right here.

[@bendover5088]

It's crazy how good defence can make a great shooter look so average in comparison

I'm a little late, but defense really has always been my favorite part of just about any sport. Good def just feels like the intensity is always cruising at 140 mph. When you see these great defenders hounding some of the best offensive players in the world, it just feels like the defender wants it more. They have that grit. I love it.

Gospel means good news! The bad news is we have all sinned and deserve the wrath to come. But Jesus the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and then raised on the third day, according to the scriptures. He ascended into heaven and right now is seated at the Father's right hand. Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

[@alanyoung159]

Marcus Smart is a good defender, but man, every time he dives for the ball, it seems reckless enough that I always cringe if the other player gonna get hurt. I think it's because he's always diving at their legs/ankles, which is dangerous. Not sure how you could put a rule that would allow a defender to "hussle" for the ball but mitigate risks of injury.

[@colinjohnson3526]

I’m completely agree, he dives way too aggressively straight into peoples legs. And I like Marcus Smart as a player, but it’s very dangerous. There are ways to dive for the ball with more awareness.

[@paulostatic8497]

It'll make this league more less physical than it already is. It's either get out of the way or beat him on getting first on the floor.

[@3john3starks3]

If the other players hustled too and didn’t just reach down, they’d be good
