I gotta go Tony Allen somewhere in that top 10 defenders list

2025-08-21 21:22:04 +0000 UTCI kinda hated kobe growing up, because he beat the kings and because every casual was a kobe fan. But not nearly to the level of my hate for harden and embiid as an adult

2025-08-20 02:20:41 +0000 UTCI agree, but its very hard to make these determinations. Alc did a good job in that none of his choices are clearly bad. To me, that's about all we can ask. The league has a long history and the 1985-2025 game is close enough to say players are playing the same game (unlike if you go back to 1960), meaning that there are literally thousands of players. Even if you somehow find it easy to only consider the top 1%, that is still dozens of players. Its a thankless task and not even that fun to read or hear about anymore because even when they make a top 75 list, instead of recalling their performances and celebrating their accomplishments you immediately get 10 times as many complaints and people like Klay grousing about someone (himself) being left off the list. Just a total downer.

2025-08-20 00:24:43 +0000 UTCNo Kawhi and Pippen on best defender list? I know the injuries may have derailed him a bit but when healthy Kawhi might be as lockdown as anybody. Same for Pippen.

2025-08-19 22:57:49 +0000 UTCI don’t even think Draymond has to leave I just want someone to say, “how about YOU be 3 and D, work on the 3 part, and let someone else be the fulcrum of our actions.”

2025-08-19 21:44:51 +0000 UTCTotally agree with you on the Chimaev note at the end. It was complete domination but he was clearly being conservative with his offense at the same time and was a let down from what I had expected that fight to look like.

2025-08-19 20:44:05 +0000 UTCI hear you.. I just feel like you could put Mike on any list, but Hakeem over Zo is a good argument

2025-08-19 19:08:50 +0000 UTCAlc that’s crazy you didn’t mention Hakeem or mj for best defenders or hell even Ben Wallace or dwade in his prime or even Shawn Marion
