This might be NBA related although I'm talking more about outside the NBA.
In my rec games, we have this guy who when defending people, will give him 2 feet of space before lazily move forward and don't even put up his hand.
We have another guy who can leap very high and would get plenty of rebounds but won't challenge shots when a guard slips by. He could be a decent rim protector/help defender but just won't do it.
Because they're lazy fvcks that's why
make the wager/bet bigger, though it depends
kids from my hood will gladly lose a tooth or get into fistfights for a liter of soda as a wager/bet

I mean, it's not lack of motivation since they seem to be very motivated on offense and are fighting for rebounds
When i had shit stamina i used to not play defense to conserve energy for offense
Not where I am. Everyone D's me the fck up

Are you in a prison?
OP side note. I thought you were white. Your grammar comes off ethnic. What nationality are you? If I had to take a guess I'd say Filipino.

This exactly. That's what I do.
To save energy becos every body wanna be a scoring killer like Bron nowadays nobody wants to player defense too just one side of the ball

Came to say something similar. Hate being drained on offense, it affects every aspect of your game.
I assume it's because most people aren't great shooters so they are likely to miss and you get the rebound. Just gotta defend around the basket.

Including Bran himself :lol
Besides nobody wants to play with a ball hogging stat padder :biggums:
i dont think leaping high has much to do with defense... IQ, general length, and willpower have more to do with it. look at tim duncan.
Because defenders dont get the big bucks. Everyone wants to be curry, harden, tmac, etc. I damn near shot up my church last weekend because the pastor didnt know who McConnell was.

Most experienced ballers nowadays can shoot well though, at least where I play.

If one of my teammates hits a deep unassisted 3 to conserve all our energy on that possession, you bet your ass we are all playing D in their next drive because they are also rested.
Why I can't play pickup
Because they are flat footed. I seen dudes incapable of staying in front of anyone :lol I'm pretty good perimeter defensively so I will get up in someone's face especially if I know they can shoot. A lot of times people will back up because they are lazy or just not interested in defense. For instance, I am a shooter and I look forward to playing against certain dudes at my park because I know I'll be open all game :pimp:

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Your history makes it impossible to tell. I obviously worded it that way on purpose to make a point. :rolleyes:
