Stuckey's athleticism; yea he is strong for the point position but coming out of Eastern Washington they talked like this dude has a wizard of an athlete.I don't see it today, maybe something happened. Who knows?

Chris Paul's defense

Throw some other ones out there
 
KOBE fan but his D is highly overated..

On ball hes suspect, help D hes alright.
 
I think the whole Lebron is a great defender thing picked up when they played the Nuggets last year and really put the press on Melo.
 
Much like when Kobe "shut" Iverson down in that game in Philly in 2001 and he has made all nba defense each year since LOLOLOL
 
Not now, but Chauncey Billup's "big shot ability" was getting on my nerves the last 2-3 years in Detroit

I already knew what Captain Statboy was going to post, so I figured I'd make an appearance.

...his teammates and fans alike even say he needs new batteries...hell hisbattery was his contract year

LeBron's defense...he's definately made improvements, but he's not the lockdown defender people are trying to make him to be.
Same goes for Kobe...everytime he keys in on defense, its usually on somebody else's man and pretty much ignores the player he's supposed to beguarding.

As much as i love Kobe, i have to agree . He has too much talent on d to be lazy but maybe that's the prob.
 
I been saying Kobe only plays D sometimes, more than half the time he's just chillin on D.

People saying LeBron's D is overrated need to really watch dude is the best perimeter defender in the league and has made huge strides since his rookieyear, plus he plays the best free safety in basketball.
