Gilbert Arenas cites Grant Hill as reason Pippen and Jordan wouldn’t be as good defensively 2Day

[Hoodoo Child]

The problem with this is we've seen an old fat Boris diaw give LeBron problems defensively. We've seen Tony Allen make Durant struggle. We just saw Toronto render giannis useless when he couldn't get into the paint

No current player is consistently stopping superstars today, so what's the point of saying dudes from the past couldn't?

Bruce Bowen made 8 all defensive teams in the 2000s

Danny green is considered to be an elite defender

But pippen can't give these guys problems today?

I'll never forget when I saw Delladova lock Curry up in a phone booth, during Game 2.



But we're supposed to believe Rodman wouldn't lock up Giannis? I never understood these "Era Wars"

KAT was measured at 6’11 1/4ths

KD is 6’10 3/4ths don’t use shytty pics to make your case he’s also clearly at least 2 inches taller than Bron in that pic

YOU MUST BE A LITTLE nikka
IF YOU THINK THIS IS ATLEAST 2 INCHES.

KAT ISNT EVEN 6'11

[Brozay]

comparing eras is always trash. way too many variables

but talent and skill are evident. to act like MJ & Scottie couldn’t defend at an elite level with todays demands of perimeter defenders is trash. it’s all on tape, they were elite defenders in their primes and could carry it over to today’s defense no question. it’s odd to even have that convo considering their accomplishments and talent

 

[Draje]

This fool really saying LeBron is 6'10??????

And he's talking bout Grant Hill "giving them problems" but conveniently forgets how KD got locked up by 5'11 CP3 and 6'4 Tony Allen. Or LeKing getting banished to the Phantom Zone by Jason Terry and 5'8 JJ Barea in his prime.

But Pippen and Rodman "COULDN'T STOP THEM" huh?? :RussLaffin:


Old heads and new heads gotta collectively agree to stop downplaying eras they weren't apart of, shyt makes everyone involved look like a damn fool

nikkas keep posting this dumb ass picture. JJ immediately flopped and Lebron got a foul called. He didn’t play lockdown defense on the Mavs. It was mostly Tyson Chandler consistently shadowing the paint during their quasi-zone that shut down Bron. It was pretty much what the Raptors did to Giannis.

Nikkas always post examples of zones and overcredit an individual defender

Curry drew a box and one in these damn Finals this year

These nikkas aren’t playing in a M2M era the way elite guys are defending today would be illegal in past eras

Nikka KD is 6’10 and 3/4ths which rounds to 6’11 and they’re damn near to eye to eye here

 

[FlyBoy718]

He said Zion is the same height as Westbrook. Gil is just about as casual as you can get on a lot of stuff

 

[idonttouchgrass]

1. GRANT HILL WAS A HALL OF FAMER...
YOU DONT LOCK DOWN HOF PLAYERS.

2. JORDAN AND PIP WERENT IN THEIR PRIMES.



​

are you suggesting that you know more than a former Nba allstar? :SaSn4:

 

[Hey_zeus]

Went into the z plane movement theory.

 

[Gravity]

So in an era when Eric Bledsoe and Marcus smart are 1st team all nba defenders, prime Jordan and pippen would get exposed defensively?

Gilbert arenas is nothing but a troll. He's aiming for clicks and views. Why are folk pretending that he's some serious basketball analyst?
