I'm watching this clip of him in college. And the amount of steals and blocks he got is insane.

People love to reminisce on his offense but his defense may have been even better at flipping momentum.

Perimeter-heavy defenders that double as #1 scoring options tend to be overrated, if anything, because even the best of them will take plays off and even at their best they aren’t as impactful as rim-protectors like Duncan or Hakeem.

Within that context, I’d say Jordan’s defence is actually a touch overrated (same with LeBron’s and especially Kobe’s).

However, relative to other perimeter players/defenders, his defence is properly rated. Guy was an animal, especially for someone that was atop offensive leaderboards.

I'd normally agree. But MJ was a speed demon out there on defense. People love to bring up his "shot" vs the Jazz, but what paved the way for that was his strip and steal on Karl Malone. And that was old fossil MJ.

The video in the OP shows his incredible defensive instincts and ability as a young man.

If any perimeter player (who was also the #1 scoring option) was underrated defensively, it's Jerry West. I think most people who know their history know he was an elite perimeter defender in his day, but how many casuals know this? I know full court doesn't. If they kept track of steals during his day, he would be up on the list close to John Stockton. He had good size & a freakish wingspan. After he retired, Bill Russell was calling him the best defender in the game while he was calling games.

There is nothing to discuss. Your question has already been settled. Just throwing some names who might be considered underrated. Let's see...

Bill Walton had GOAT level defense at his peak, but it doesn't get discussed alot

Nate Thurmond was probably the GOAT low post 1 on 1 defender , or at least in the convo.

Rasheed Wallace somehow never made an All-Defensive team which is a crime

People with knowledge will never underestimate the Defensive skills of MJ.
He was one of the best Defenders of his Decade.
It is just that MJ was so legendary in offense that his Defense vanishes to the Background.

Same with Wilt Chamberlain. His offense was unmatched and no 1 in History that nobody appreciates his Assists Skills. His intelligence and overview of the court and his teammates was outstanding.

I think the reason for that is that his help defense was insanely good during the first 3 peat so it overshadowed his man defense. MJ was a menace defensively and if you recall, it was Phil who switched MJ onto KJ in game 3 in the 1993 finals when KJ had the hot hand. KJ couldn't score after that. At that point, Mike Fratello proceeds to call him the best defensive player on the game. (Erroneous given Hakeem who was twice the defensive stopper, but point taken). And I think he finished 2nd in DPOY that year.

Michael is so quick. I think his mind is some place, his body is some place else.


I don't know exactly what that means but it is crazy how Jordan won't even be in the camera frame of a play and then at the last second out of nowhere he'll come flying into the frame. He could cover 5 meters in like a half second. Like a panther in human form with perfect timing for knowing when to pounce too.

Bleacher Report gives him an honorable mention, putting him in the top 9 if all time, the only guard there.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2899082-ranking-the-greatest-nba-defenders-of-all-time

Wolfgangsport puts him at 8, and is the top shooting guard. (Payton makes this list)

https://www.wolfgangsport.com/best-defenders-in-nba/

CBN has him at 6. Again, top shooting guard.

http://www.championsbasketballnetwork.com/top10/best-defenders-in-nba-history.html

Sports Brief has him at 6. Top shooting guard, but just behind Walt Frazier.

https://sportsbrief.com/nba/41032-who-20-nba-defenders-time-lockdown-legends/

Lineups.com has him at 9. Top shooting guard.

https://www.lineups.com/articles/best-defenders-in-nba-history-top-50/

From my scientific survey (I picked the top five google hits that ranked without regard to position), it seems there is almost a consensus that he was a top 9 or better defender without regard to position, and the best defensive shooting guard. That's outrageous. He is clearly underrated.

How is it a dumb take? Hakeem led a Houston team with no other defensive stoppers to a 4th ranked defense. Chicago was ranked 3rd, but MJ had Oakley on that team who was a better defensive player than anyone on Houston not named Hakeem. When Oakley leaves, Chicago's defense dropped to 11th.

If MJ was as impactful as Hakeem, then it would have showed in the '89 season. Houston was ranked 4th that year whereas Chicago was ranked 11th.

He was a ĺockdown man defender on top of his unreal help defense. And is easily one of the best perimeter defenders of all time objectively. Better than Hakeem? No but that is a biased measuring stick since Hakeem was a center and has a case for GOAT defender.

Nobody focuses on his defense on this site so it had to be underrated. The TV will play his last shot vs the Jazz a million times yet almost never shows the steal on Malone that set that up.

In 1988, the top 45 players in terms of blocks/game were all forwards and centers. Except for MJ who was 16th. He also averaged double the blocks/game as the next closest guard, and was tied with Hakeem in stocks/game (actually totaled 14 more, but Hakeem missed 3 games). Impressive af

Are you serious? I remember you linking a realgm thread to "prove" MJ is the GOAT. What a god damn moron. :oldlol:

A few weeks ago you said Kyrie was on the 2018 Cavs roster, but you expect us to believe you when you say Kobe was a legit GOAT candidate while he was playing? You just started watching basketball two years ago. You are not fooling anyone.

Here's another little throwback for you. Give you something else to melt down over. :lol

Did you just own yourself by proving my point? lmao.

Dude shits on me for bringing up a realgm thread then immediately links a thread he made where he brings up realgm. How dumb are you?

You are utterly clueless. :roll:

YOU'RE the one who took issue with using a realgm thread to prove Kobe was in the GOAT conversation at one time. Then YOU do the same thing.

Keep trying to deflect though. Everybody knows how dumb you are, Mr. "Tom Brady is the biggest choker."

This never happened. Why lie?

I'm the one who used realgm threads to show you Kobe was never in the GOAT convo while he was playing. In fact, I still remember the threads I linked.

You’re trying too hard. Cringe lord. Yikes.

Why don't you start one of your crap threads in realgm, and then post a link here to use as "evidence."

Seriously, where is your evidence that most people had Kobe in the GOAT convo while he was playing? Because I can show you more links that isn't from realgm.

I never said MOST people had Kobe in the GOAT conversation. Every time you lose an argument, you try to change what it was. Not gonna work with me, Felicia. :lol

I'll never take your knowledge of basketball seriously until, for starters, you learn what an advanced stat is.

To be in the GOAT convo it has to be a consensus, which means most people would have to have him in the convo. This is common sense.

Look at you backtracking now.

Showing off your low IQ again. You obviously don't know what the word "consensus" means, just like you don't know what an advanced stat is. Try www.dictionary.com and educate yourself. :roll:


"Bu-bu-bu-but you can't even be in the GOAT conversation unless you have, uh, CONSENSUS!!!"

:roll: Idiot.
