He plays defense all game but never gets to shoots.Am i wrong for considering that BETA AS ****.Like its cool to be a defender i get that but taking 2 shots a game / every time you get a rebound you dont even try to score you just pass to Alpha Brook and go stand in the corner like a bitch.Basically he will never get paid a lot from the way he plays while westbrook will get the max.It's = to Westbrook eats 1st like a alpha* wolf while roberson stands next to the tree and waits beta*

It isn't beta to prevent someone else from penetrating passed you.

He knows he can't be a scorer like WB, so he does what he does best. Better to be a specialist that can do something well than a wannabe scorer that gets kicked out of the league in a couple of years.

If Roberson started chucking and stopped playing defense, he would be on a plan to China faster than the time it took to write this post.

Ben Wallace has a career average of 5 FGA a game and he played defense all game

You gonna tell me this man is beta?!http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/243/044/ben-wallace-and-shaq_display_image.jpg

Like posters said, he will have a spot in the league due to that "beta" defense

He is an NBA player and you're a keyboard warrior.

You're the beta.

It's totally beta to make millions of dollars defending the best athletes alive:rolleyes:

What do YOU do that's so alpha that you can call out NBA players? If you wouldn't call him a beta to his face, then you're an omega.

What you're saying is dumb because Roberson is a roleplayer like most NBA players. He has a job to do, he is given guidelines for how to play by his coach. Like almost everyone in organized basketball. To fit your ideal of "alpha" a guy like Roberson has to play in a way that his coach does not want and that just means he goes to the bench. Eventually leads him out of the league. And then what is he getting paid? Everyone can't be Russell Westbrook, the overwhelming majority don't have the talent.

Practice?

What is with the obsession on ISH to determine who is "alpha" and who is "beta." Why not just analyze their basketball abilities since there are more than 2 types of players in the league?

OP's capacity for rational thought and comprehension are so poor that it actually gives me a headache to read his garbage of a post. Being a defensive specialist does not make someone beta, it makes him a defensive specialist. Was Dennis Rodman beta? Ben Wallace? Bill Russell? Bruce Bowen?

Do you even know what the alpha/beta dichotomy really means? It refers to dominance in the wilderness, and the ability to get a mate and reproduce. Whether you're the one guarding the other team's best player, or whether you're the one shooting the ball on your end, has nothing to do with being alpha or beta. Maybe if he was a defensive specialist whose defense tended to be worse in the fourth quarters, you could call his mental toughness into question and call him beta. But this bullshit about who shoots the ball and who's alpha or beta just reeks of you being a twelve-year-old loser who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

This isn't about alpha and beta. Robinson can only stay in the league if he defends very well, not everyone has the offensive power of Westbrook.
I would rather be a defender who never shoots and stay in the league than go to the Dleague or Europe being payed much less.

Practice?
