Anyone else hear Mark Jackson doubling down on "rim protectors are overrated"?

[oarabbus]

He said this dumb shit again, singling out Mozgov this time :lol

[JT123]

Is he not allowed to have an opinion? :wtf:
The truth is he's kind of right. The Heat recently won back to back titles with no rim protector.

He's kinda right. As long as you don't have good on ball defense, your team won't do well defensively, look at Hawks.

Mark Jackson is a fraud.

He knows he lost in the first round last year without Bogut last year, right?

Birdman?:confusedshrug:

He gave his explanation and said it wasnt a shot at Bogut.

You can play good defense without a rim protector and gave Charles Oakly as an example.

:facepalm that's the exception to the rule. Actually Birdman had some spectacular rim-protecting moments, so it's not even true. He was a huge part of the Heat playoff run in 2013. Look at the past 30 years of NBA champions. Vast majority had a rim protector. They are by no means overrated.

Almost all of our losses this season have come when Bogut sits...
