I will give an example of how important it really is...
Bryon Forbes played for the Spurs for four years, and last year he became a free agent , and went to Milwaukee.
He lite it up shooting an un-godly high 40% 's from the 3 point line... Teams feared him when he touched the ball.
BUT
when he was in the playoffs - in particular against the Nets - immediately the Nets went after him on the defensive side and smoked him.
He was basically benched by Coach Bud for the rest of the series including the championship finals.
He went into free agency --- would you not want to play for the team you played for that just won a ring ????
He went back to the no-name spurs,, on a 2.5 mill contract.
Tell me defense doesn't matter .........
