[@ike.o6944]

Facts💯

[@msaw1997]

I honestly have always felt that way about any player that actually takes the time and pride to play D. Scoring is significantly easier than stopping someone from scoring. Look at any sport. Defense is about willpower and yes some times how the ball bounces too. I always respected Pat Bev as a player. Don't like the trash talking but that's a part of his game to throw you off.

[@melloooo9331]

Nah bro I wouldn’t say scoring Is easier it’s allot of guys that can’t put that ball in that hoop wen a good defender is on them. You have to train and learn moves and get smarter bout the game to score effectively all the time . Defense is mainly effort and heart. A guy can be horrible and be trash at basketball but if he’s confident in himself and puts forth enough effort he can be a okay defender on almost anyone

[@kevinc8955]

LOL your take is the exact opposite of true. Even Kyrie Irving can defend when he’s motivated. But how many people can score at will regardless of who is on them? Notice those guys all get max deals? There is a reason for that. Because it’s rare.

[@firstroundsonme472]

I was just thinking the same thing. There are fans out here that want to hear thorough educated analysis and breakdowns, not just narratives you can repeat for clips and kicking up BS drama.
