Top Best Defensive Players Of All-Time

Harden is a better defender but he's not great. Certainly not a shutdown defender nd not better defensively that's any of the players I named. Then I guess Westbrook is an all-time great defender too if we're looking at steals. Monta Ellis too smh. Yep these guys are greats lol.

First off Harden is probably the 6th best defender on his team. Btw I forgot to mention Trevor Ariza, Patrick Bevereley, and Tony Allen.

No way in hell I'm adding Harden yet when he gets torched by a banged up 35 yr old Kobe Bryant lol

I got into a Westbrook discussion on defense at some other place. Base of discussion was actually about Westy vs Curry and people were raving how Westy's better because of his defense. But upon close look, you will see that Westy's not been playing any defense this season. He doesn't have to, I mean he's going to be the biggest ball thug in league history. Energy's just better spent on offense, that's what the team needs anyhoo. But perception goes a long way and people believe Westy's a good defender.

This clearly was a case for superior defender like young Kobe(& maybe Shaq).

Oh gosh since when is Westbrook a defender. The basketball iq has somewhat declined since I last posted in this thread. Benji, Grin, why aren't you trolling these guys away. I can't lol

Edit: NovU they probably consider him a great defender because 2k says so

Then I guess Westbrook is an all-time great defender too if we're looking at steals. Monta Ellis too smh.

But then again...

Past Defenders: Allen Iverson

Nobody mentioned Cooper?

Because he's a twig and was easily ass shoved by Bird and got dunked on by Dr. J... Seriously though he's always overlooked because whenever they talk about that team he's with, offense is the only topic... Speaking of the Lakers, I'm surprised no one mentioned Metta War Pistons yet...

Ok some underrated ones ...

Latrell Sprewell
Oliver Miller
Antonio McDyess
Kendal Gill
Anthony Mason
Greg Ostertag
Theo Ratliff
James Posey

Lol at the cocky atlwarrior guy still not getting sarcasm.

I was reffering to your statement that stats don't lie. Learn to comprehend, person who says Iverson was an all-time defender. What a joke.

Walt Frazier - made the All-Defensive 1st Team seven times. Clyde brought STYLE to playing D.

Dennis Johnson
Sidney Moncrief

Do I know you bruh? Nah I'm kidding. Lol My bad Idk you Meno or some of the new ppl here so it's hard to tell your sarcasm.
