Ah yes it is. It's as simple as that.
This is nonsense.
Yeah AI would mean less shots for the other three, but it would also mean that the Celtics would score more points on better efficiency and Iverson would DESTROY Fisher, to the point where it'd probably be a double-digit win in every game. Iverson would be guarding Fisher all game too, so defensive doesn't even come into the equation. Even if Rondo wasn't there, they still would've had the #1 defense. This revisionism is comedy.
Garnett
Pierce
Ray Allen
Posey
Perkins
Tony Allen
That's close to the best defensive group in the modern era. All AI would do is just roam and play the passing lanes all game long. A lineup of:
AI
Allen
Pierce
Garnett
Perkins
wouldn't even be fair for teams. They'd win 70+ during the regular season and probably end up only dropping a couple of games during the playoffs.
