Remember when you had to be a good player on both ends of the floor to be considered great?

Never seen so many excuses being made for not playing great defense

It's sad right?

I grew up watching ball during the 90s like some of you other cats here and I remember dudes could play defense back then. It was a badge of honor to play great defense back then just as much as scoring.

Great times.

Its not an excuse, its just reality that you can be a dominant player without having much impact on the defensive end of the court. People that equate defensive/offensive ability regardless of position are way off base
Its been a lot of GOAT talk lately. Can you potentially be the GOAT while not playing elite level defense?

I swear it wasn't till Jordan came along that I started to hear about the best player in the league having to be good on both ends of the floor.
But when its followed by Kobe and Bron both being great on that end too :yeshrug:
