Serge Ibaka vs David Lee

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

David Lee is regarded as one of the worst defensive players in the league. That should answer the question alone really.

Only cacs base their answer off one thing

David lee. Dumb question

 

[Street Knowledge]

Ibaka is a vastly overrated man defender who doesn't create 90% of the buckets he scores on.

 

[CuzTheyKnowMe]

Ibaka isnt even an elite defender. He has bad fundamentals. He is a top shot blocker but he jumps at every pumpfake and will get eaten alive by crafty post players.

David Lee
People about to come here and overrate Ibaka's defense. It's not that good...

 

[Ivan Trillwater.]

Dafaq? Ibaka has no offense at all. Lee is one of the best offensive big men in the game. His defense is terrible but stupid to say Ibaka is better because he can block shots. Stupid ass thread.

Oh and like everyone has already mentioned, Ibaka is an overrated defender. Like seriously.

Cool whatever. Fact remains Ibaka an elite defender with average offense while Lee is an above average offensive player while also being the worst at his position defensively. Golden State needed Lee to get hurt to finally play up to their potential.

These OKC nikkas need to stop overrating Ibaka and get some fresh air outside ... Oh wait they live in OKC

Elite defender hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

David Lee is the better all around player. Dlee has one of the best hands in the game and he can finish with both hands and has a decent mid range jumper. Ibaka is good and will improve over time but he needs to play smarter D and not bite on every pump fake and develop an offensive game.

Just because he said he's not an elite defender (which he is not), doesn't mean he's suggesting he's awful. He's very good but not elite. Howard is a better defender than him.

That's regular season breh. He gets dominated in the postseason by guys like Dirk, Z-Bo, Duncan, and Marc gasol because of his undisciplined defense. An elite level defender doesn't get dominated on a regular basis when he faces smarter competition.
