hes a better defender. dont give me stats, you are the worst when it comes to try and drop stats to prove a point. stats arent everything .
dray is a way better defender and its not close. . can defend almost anyone one on one ,
dray is also the better passer. blake is a better scorer, dray a better shooter.
dray is not a number one option, yes we know that.
i would say dray plays his role and is better at his role then blake is at his. id rather have draymond and find a first option for him to play with and be robin then have blake as my batman ......
Stats aren't everything. That is true.
But neither is what you see.
You say Draymond is a WAY better defender and a better passer. What if I disagree? Is my eyesight wrong there or something ?
This is where the actual numbers come into play. It supports or doesnt support what you actually see because sometimes (not all cases) what you see isnt reality. This year alone I've seen blake check everyone from Reggie Jackson to AD to PG and KD and from my vantage point he was fantastic. From my eyesight it also appears that blake is better than draymond at shooting everywhere on the floor but the three point line. Right or wrong, but thats what I see. So now from what I've seen I think draymond isnt that much of a better defender than blake. See how easy it is to construct an opinion based on what I see?
You trust your eyesight 100% And dismiss the actual facts. I use both to come to a conlusion that I think is sound. Sorry you dont understand that
Draymond is GOAT. Its obvious. MJ is a fraud.
you forgot about steals and blocksIm not being realistic?
Whatbro I'm using actual facts man it dont get more realistic than that. This has nothing to do with being a homer.
How can Draymond be a way better defender than blake if players shoot abt the same % against blake as they do draymond? How sway?
You ignoring the facts of this actually the unrealistic part of all of this b
Draymond is a very good, versatile defender thats on a great defensive team which is why he finished top 3 in DPoy. That has nothing to do with this here though
Listen, I am not saying that Blake is WAY better than Draymond. I in fact said that the comparison was hard to make because they aren't tasked with severely different roles for their teams.although i agree with you that blake is better than dray, i think it's a lot closer than you think. blake is hella underrated defensively but i don't think he's as versatile or as imposing as a defender than green. he also don't protect the rim as well as green. they might have a similar assist rate but green is pretty much a point forward, something i don't think blake can do in a consistent basis. blake is also a vastly underrated play-maker. we don't really have to bring up offense since blake's clearly superior. but the intangibles and leadership, green>>>>>>>>>blake. green is the type of player, you have no worries when you going to war, while blake is a player you love to have during a pick up game.
Draymond is GOAT. Its obvious. MJ is a fraud.
Here's why you don't use "steals" and "Blocks" to measure defense and why I never brought those numbers up. They are not the same.
you forgot about steals and blocks
0.9 steals 0.5 blocks per game...blake
draymond - 1.6 steals , 1.3 blocks per game.
thats the samething. i know how much you like blake but get real my dude.
regardless of everything else...this is actual fact.
and top 10 chalmers.
Blame MJ for making people believe that having the best player = championshipBasketball was, is and will remain a team sport. No matter how great or dominant you are, one Superstar player cannot win a championship. They might explode to dominate in a few games to win but in the finals you simply cannot take the whole load to win. Your teammates must know their roles, play tough defense and create offensive plays. Even players like chamberlain or jordan could not win with a bunch of average players. A really good coach is usually also required to have the team working well.

That being said, I already said that Draymond is a better defender than Blake but I really don't think it's by that much. Dray is a better rim protector. I agree with that. But this whole "Dray is a WAY better defender than blake" is a product of reputation and not fact.
We all to a degree see what we want. Prime example is you just said Dray is pretty much a point forward. Well half the time I watch the Clips Blake is out there being a point forward. That's where the numbers come into play. And I'll give you the intangibles. We can't really measure that but I agree with that sentiment.
But when u don't win we blame the stars. Except with me Ron it was always he needs more help, but everyone else we blame the stars. They get praised when they win, blamed when they lose. No one ever said the Lakers can't win without shaq, it was Kobe. They say Barkley didn't win any rings, not the teams he were on vice versa.
Nah, he got her number.
Did Derek Fisher get suspended too?
If dirk had wall instead of jet terry he would've got swept by miami
Lol if my sentiment came off feisty then my bad bro, that wasn't how it was supposed to come across. Just the way a ***** be typing sometimes haha we good g.famb no need to get fiesty with me lol and i didn't say you said blake is way better but you did said "Everything else Blake is better than draymond at." and like i said it's a lot closer than what you think and your statement shouldn't be an easy one to make. that's all G. clearly, i haven't watched as many clippers games as you to debate the point forward claim but i did witness it for smalllllll portion in the past. but as a point forward, im still taking money green setting up my offense than watching griffin use his struggle handles to beat his man to give a lob to DJ.
Tho I do think wall is overrated I just like to give u a hard time because I know u will respond. I do think wall can eventually be that go and coming in he had to play with a bunch of clowns that will make u wanna retire early.Agreed. However we can't blindly use that logic. If you told me Wall had the best supporting cast in the NBA and couldn't get it done then you'd be right. He doesn't and hasn't in his career. AD has only made the playoffs once and got swept. Do you believe the same about him? He can't be the best player on his team and win a title.
