His Greatness Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Your sarcasm is on a different planet in this regard. What I said meant that, no matter what I did, my defense wasn't going to improve...that I've been working on it extremely hard for years, and I still have average defense. I really don't even know what you're telling me with this.The same motif I've been expressing the entire topic. I actually don't think that's a bad comparison: is it more realistic for you to become dominant defensively, or to develop a Kobe-like offensive repertoire? You might say the defense for whatever strange reason that's inhibiting it (maybe you just have to work harder), but I guarantee most would say offense.

Maybe you should be more physical, take a James Posey approach. Defense is more about the work on your lower body (from waist down) than your upper body. Position yourself around your man when he's not comfortable when he rises for a shot or when he wants to lay up or dunk. It's not about contesting shot, but rather your presence that makes the offensive player uncomfortable with you being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
