Just how good is Giannis' defense historically?

[Carbine]

Do you rank him up there with Hakeem for example?

Better than Duncan?

KG?

Best defender of his era?

Ever?

[AngelEyes]

He's the best defensive player in the league right now and the best two way player. He's absolutely comparable to Hakeem, KG and Duncan in terms of impact and versatility.

[Jasper]

right now defensively equal to Kevin Garnett ...
give him 5 more years , and if he maintains where he is , most definitely era.

He's up there when it comes to impact. I don't know if he's better than Hakeem or Tim Duncan. But they don't play in the same era. But the impact he has with his team is comparable definitely. His athleticism could and versatility is one of the best.

Best of his era I would think. I dunno about the best 1 on 1 defender, but impact is amazing.
