Is KG underrated to you guys?

[SwagKingKong]

Duncan Moncrief Russell D-Rob Jordan Pippen Payton Kawhi Draymond GP Zo Rodman Bill Bruce Bowen Alvin Robertson Joe D Artest Dikembe Ben Bron Kobe Dwight Moncrief Stockton could all be considered better defenders than KG if you want to get technical about it. I don't think they are but if someone said they were you probably would have a legit argument on your hands.

Lol, you are insane if you think that any other than Russell, Duncan and Drob are in the conversation with KG as a defender.

Theres zero case for perimiter players, especially guards. You mentioned Kobe too wtf? He spent half his career as a negative defender.

You said arguable. All of those guys have just as much defensive accolades as KG. You want to spend this agenda like KG was leaps and bounds above everyone else on the defensive end when I don't think he was. He was a beast no doubt but for you to act like he was the preeminent defender of his generation is something i'm not buying. Not with Duncan Deke Zo and Ben around for the prime of his career.

Better than Dirk...

**runs out of thread**

How can a sidekick be better than a #1 who led his team to a title against one of the most stacked teams of all time?

He helped changed the NBA. He was the first big man that didn't need to have his back to the basket

Not true at all. Off the top of my head I can think of:

Dolph Schayes
Bob Pettit
Jerry Lucas
Bob McAdoo
Dave DeBusschere
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson
Jack Sikma
Elvin Hayes
Karl Malone
Charles Barkley

What made him stand out is he was the first one that blended a face up game, excellent handle, and help defense. In that way he's exactly what you'd need in a modern 5.

My third favorite player ever after MJ and Pip. He's underrated by heads who say Dirk is better.

Wallace and Mutumbo need to be in that conversation as well.
