Handchecking and zone defense
That’s why
I'm teaching my 4th grader how to defend. If he can play defense then he will be far ahead of most kids because all kids want to do is dribble and shoot.
Dann thats crazy
Man this was painful to watch as a Laker fan.. hats off to Detroit though
well shaq avg 27 and 11 with 63fg % if kobe give him the ball more he would avg more:)
this era of the nba was soooo rough offensively my lord
Ben Wallace Aka modern day Bill Russell
Pistons would have gotten their rematch against the spurs in 2007 if they still got Big Ben, but they lost the series to future Lakers superstar Lebron James who led the Cavaliers to elimination of Detroit in 6 games of the eastern conference finals
Do the same type of thing but for the 89 pistons. They only allowed 100 points twice all postseason, in an era where the pace was far higher than the 2000's. What they did in a time when the nba had never seen the slow paced, physical defensive oriented style was historic. Them being so dominant and winning back to back with their style is the reason the 90s and 2000s became the dead ball era. Every team started adopting their principals, and they really changed the game and launched the dead ball era.
Imagine if Wallace was a lil more aggressive and consistent with those midrange jumpers. Their offense would’ve benefited tremendously
This is awesome stuff, a pleasure to watch and actually informative. Hats off, great content.
NBA posting this to remind us they outlawed playing defense 🫡🫡 make those Billions azzholes
