The top 10 DEFENDERS of the last decade
Ball Don't Lie - YahooSports
Defense ... now there's something you can argue about.
It's hard to qualify with stats. Some of the best defensive stat-hoarders can also be the worst defenders. Some of the best defenders give you absolutely no stats at all. And even a spirited attempt at chasing down your man, or helping on others, can result in a selfish, defensively crippling play. I love this game.
We've read up on individual defensive stats, how well a defender's man plays against him, and how well his team does with him defensively on or off the court. And with that knowledge in hand, we rank. But we also rank based on what we've seen, how well these men do in a team concept, and just how well they defend even if their man does somehow spin in a 20-footer with two hands in his face. Sometimes the best defense ... doesn't work. Once again, I love this game.
10. Kirk Hinrich
9. Eric Snow
8. Jason Kidd
7. Bruce Bowen
6. Ron Artest
5. Dikembe Mutombo
4. Tim Duncan
3. Ben Wallace
2. Shane Battier
1. Kevin Garnett
My thoughts:
- Shane Battier over Ben Wallace & Tim Duncan? Wrong.
- Kirk Hinrich? How about Dwight Howard on that spot?.. or Chris Paul?..
- Kobe Bryant, Tayshaun Prince, Andrei Kirilenko, Marcus Camby should be on that list.
I'm surprised LBJ isn't on the list, considering the amount of @$$-kissing he gets from the media.
ben wallace is the number 1 for me. without him detroit is just another ordinary team in the last decade (with all due respect to billups, prince, hamilton, and r. wallace).
top ten of the last decade... ingun ana na kadugay mao wala na nahinumduman si rodman hahahahahaha... bitaw considering his last days sa chicago it was 1998 when chicago bulls last won a championship with rodman pippen and jordan... so eleven years ago nah hehehehehe

Unfortunately Ginobili was picked '99, coz he easily tops that list. LOL at Walton though.
