Man, that's Antwan Jamison level horrible on defense.

Dude doesn't move his feet, there's no contests, nothing. I've noticed it watching their games but man it really is horrible.

Harden also turns it over a lot on offense as does Lin.

You have those breakdowns defensively and careless ball handling and you'll find yourself at home sooner than later.

His man defense consists of .5 seconds of actually trying to move his feet, followed by him giving up, which his followed by him reaching to poke the ball out from behind. This ish is sickening. Worst part is that we all know hes capable of playing better D since we all saw it in OKC. This is why I couldnt draft a player like Jabari Parker. Defense like this doesnt sit well with me

How is that stat calculated?

No joke he might have a learning disability

He looks legitimately stupid on defense
he makes the same mistake every time. by holding his man he would at lease allivate some problems

What's fukked up, is you know he'll see this video eventually, and just be like :yeshrug:. No desire to get better is really my problem with this. You can play atleast serviceable defense just on effort and studying your opponent. You don't have to be Bruce Bowen, LBJ or Paul George, but damn, atleast show some effort on defense.

It really is despicable for a "star" in this league to pull this shyt.
