I mean it is quite possible that COULD happen though. Especially considering Freak's length and defensive versatility.
I disagree
There were plenty of lengthy defenders during mjs day that were ALL WORLD defenders that didn't get the opportunity to guard mj simply because mj was lightning quick and could get anywhere he wanted on the court. (See Dennis Rodman) this is why dumars drew the defensive responsibility of guarding mj instead.
giannis isn't even considered one of the top defenders in today's game statistically.
This lens to my slight beef with 2k ratings and in some cases, the fact that you are unable to see our take advantage of weaknesses and strengths of players.
Another example, Chris Mullin is a grade A defender, and has no issues staying in front of LeBron James. Positional defense, Mullin should be decent at best...But definitely not fleet of foot like ratings suggest.
