[@rangabusi]

@@ccr2538 He is definitely the best defender on the jazz who actually have some good defenders. But Giannis’ defensive ability I believe to be greater. He can be a valuable addition to any defence whereas Gobert is very limited. If a team has a center that can shoot Gobert is stranded more times than not because of his inability to close out. Or in high pick and rolls where the centre can shoot he is no good all. He can’t defend the shooting big man as he’s not a good perimeter defender. Also by no means is he going to stop the guard from rolling to the hoop for the layup if they get the blow by. So if you exploit a guy who is prided on there defence then it makes their contribution less valued IMO. So by all means if you want a rim protector take Rudy but if you want someone who can guard anywhere in the floor to a high level then I’d take Giannis.

[@Jim_Boylen]

@@wupatangfarms2319 and this is a list of some of the best defenders ever, putting jordan even in the top 10 of this type of list is pushing it.

When tf did Kawhi limit KD scoring in the finals?

[@JamesSmith-qr7be]

And people say MJ played in a weak era . . .

[@roberto5red5rocky85]

Jordan played in the most competitive and tough era in history. Especially for scorers

[@MrSlashblade]

@@roberto5red5rocky85 the 90s is arguably the second weakest competition in terms of scoring.

[@roberto5red5rocky85]

@@MrSlashblade because of the defense and rules that made it harder to score.

[@MrSlashblade]

@@roberto5red5rocky85 there are more rules and regulations that help the offense from the 90s then the 00s

Mans disrespected Rudy. He put the whole league in lockdown for a whole season

Gobert is way too low.

[@margierogers7337]

Lol I like how he got all players dancing the same except the goat mj and the end

If there was a dpoy award in Bill Russell’s time he for sure would have been in the top 5

[@russelturner5771]

No doubt.

In the 5 major categories in basketball. Points, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Only Hakeem is on the Top 15 of ALL TIME list on FOUR of the FIVE!!! 7 other legends are on 3!

[@bambambam2390]

all i gotta say is "BLOCKED BY JAMES!!!"

[@LordBarros]

It's criminal you put Payton in a Heat's jersey. He was a Sonic for most of his career. You already took our team, don't take away our best player too.

[@nathanlawson313]

Ben #1 League changed rules and got soft because of his 04 pistons setting every defensive record (like holding 5 consecutive opponents UNDER 70 POINTS!).

[@deebofleebo6427]

Ben is nothing compared to Olajuwon

"I've never watched any of these guys, nor do I understand the way the league changes over time. I'll look at basketball-reference and make a ranking list."

Can’t believe David Robinson got top 3 smh he ain’t even top five and you put Payton 9th smh

And was boxed out by Stephen Curry.

[@get_right1373]

Mark Eaton should be like top 10 or even top 5. I mean he did dropped 5.6 bpg in a season with the Jazz and in the next season he dropped 4.1 bpg. But doesnt make steals often.... My opinion

[@Karll541]

He was a monster rim protector. Can’t think of many like him
