Whats these superstars excuse for not playing defence?

[LurkMoar]

Kevin Durant has a 7 foot wingspan and is as athletic as anyone in the league. Dude should be swatting errbody


Melo is athletic enought to get room for his jumpshot but he cant put a hand up?


Harden is 6-6 220 and dude literally just stands there, thats not acceptable in pick up games let alone the NBA.


But foreal tho, if you have the energy to run three circles around the court just to take a contested jumpshot... you should have the energy to play some defence



It boggles my mind how coaches can think this is acceptable

Looks like my thread failed



I still speak the truth tho

The problem is that most players don't take pride in defense. They play soft so they can put more effort into their offense. That's just an observation on my end.

What i dont get, these dudes are WORLD CLASS athletes

How you gon save your energy for offense Like it takes all your energy to score.

Your getting payed millions to play both offense and defense

Funny thing is Lin is a solid defend but gets pulled quick by Mchale for one defensive shortcoming but Harden does shyt on defense the entire game and i never see anybody say anything to him.

hardens defense really grinds my gears. Its absurb how many defensive specialist role players go off on him....I mean he doesnt even run ppl off the perimeter when they marginally open.

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Some people are just sad on defense...

Durant and Melo are one of those people, More mind boggling is amare stoudamire what a waste...

Kobe is ok now but he was really something when he was younger.

Good Offense always beats good defense....so thats what they put their energy towards, Yeah you got Jordan but he is the goat...

its hard to play lockdown down d then put up 30 shots son.
