Gilbert Arenas offers solution for lack of defense in the NBA; "Get Rid Of All Europeans." - page 4

Luka said it’s harder to score in Europe than it is in the NBA.

If Jokic was such a liability on defense, why are the Nuggets a proven championship team with great half court defense?

Ak47 was a better all around defender than any American drafted the last 25 years

Hey man, gah damn, they're AFRICANS, not fu#king European! All of them are! Nurkic, Jokic, Donic are Europeans. Ginoboli, for example, was South American as an example. He's right about Europeans! Think about defense like this. If it's man, which they play mostly in the league, then every man has to play D. If you got a player who CANT, then everyone can't give 100 percent in their man. They gotta give 80 percent on their man and 20 percent on the other guy cause the European's 100 percent is about 60 percent. So multiple teammates gotta give his man 20 fu#king percent every play! If we're talking about a short American, then I get it but if you're fu#king 6'7 or above, there's no excuse. Also, you notice on your list, you have all bigs. If you're big, you got the easiest defense assignment; BLOCK SHOTS! What's easier, blocking someone's sh1t you're longer than. Pause. or taking someone's ball who can dribble pretty good? Pause...

Three out of the top 4 players in the league are Euros. Look at the elite defensive players and you will see Euros. You can deny them all you want but they solidified themselves in the league.

Stupid take and I fu#k with Gil. Coaches aren’t teaching Americans how to play defense from AAU on up. Period.

n1ggas in the league really can’t stand that the best players today are from Europe lol

Manu gjnobili is 7 all time in defensive rating for guards

Because Air Gordon is sticking whoever Joker should be….

That’s why Embiid always drops 50 on him

Does that make you a liability if changing matchups to best fit the needs work out.

There’s a reason that Jokic ON THE COURT vs. OFF THE COURT is a net 16, and it’s not purely on AG taking care of the 5 assignment.



Are we considering multiple time 1st All-NBA Defensive center Anthony Davis a liability for LA since Rui and Reaves covering Jokic instead of AD?

You can match whoever you wanna match to win a game….but you’re doing so because of liable defense.

Dame can give you 40 but his defense is a liability, the Bucks are winning but facts still remain.

Embiid drops 50 every time….joker meets that doesn’t mean Joker isn’t good.
