Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 4249405, member: 60"] I don't know how anyone can watch these playoffs and think that, still. And the thing is, teams will just continually put a bad defender in a blender and target him over and over again. Also, with how much NBA teams are varying m2m and even using zone, it's not only your on ball skills, but man do you have to know how to defend in a system whether its a team that switches 90% of the time, PnR Ds that go drop defense to take away any action at the rim, etc etc. I have no issue with Jokic as MVP, but it's why I still will go with Giannis as the best player in the league right now. You can switch him onto anyone and it doesn't matter on D. He's a beast and he would be a beast in any era. Those guys in previous eras never had to cover as much ground as they do now. It's not even close. It'd be like if the NFL widened the field by like 10 yards on each side. [/QUOTE]
