re: Gilbert Arenas says 'get rid of all the Europeans' to make the NBA better

Irony is thinking that athleticism makes better defenders.

Athleticism at an extreme leads to relying on it. They don’t seem to understand that guys like Rodman excelled not on athleticism but honing their craft.

Defense is an effort thing and when coaches have basically stopped coaching defense now since players bitch and moan about being “tired”, it has nothing to do with Euroball.
