I understand Rasheed's point. Putting MJ in 10 1st team all defensive teams was ludicrous

Similar to Kobe being put on All defensive teams. It was more of a marketing thing with the NBA
:mjtf: No it wasn’t , people say anything to go viral , it goes for celebrities as well, were Kobe and MJ goat defenders? No but they was still great

He had the wingspan and knowledge to guard anyone, but he wasn’t always locked in on defense. There’s a reason he never made an all defensive team.
I dont disagree, but his defense was a big reason why they won a title in Detroit and why the Celtics wanted a washed version of him years later.

he could defend and was probably only behind Duncan in 1v1 post defense.

Lastly, all defense, especially back then for big men, was really about blocks since advanced metrics wasn’t available.

Sheed was really a guy who was 10 years ahead of his time on offense and probably only had 4 years of a coach who got him to consistently give a good effort on defense. With his basketball IQ, his skill set on offense, and his post defense, he really should have been a lock for the hall of fame. His rebounding had a lot to do with it too. There’s no reason a guy his height should’ve averaged just 6.7 total rebounds per game and he should’ve peaked so much higher than 8.2 per game.

He is a classic case of a rock head who shoulda been amazing.

#TheTruth

It’s not true. The Bulls were an only a bad team in Jordan’s first three seasons (one of which he missed most of the year). Of his 10 scoring titles, 6 came with a championship, 2 with an ECF appearance, one was a second round exit, and one was a first round exit.

Coli established sometime ago…. When an NBA player says it, it’s true

So it’s TRUE:ufdup:
