Just like there used to be so many pure shooters in the NBA which all but disappeared up to this new era, It's now the great defenders you rarely see.
There used to be so many......
Going all the way back to Wilt Chamberlain & others, to Michael Cooper, Kareem, etc. later on, all the way to pre-2000 with Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Oakley, Dikembe Mutombo, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, David Robinson, and so many others.
There are still a few around, like Kobe, and those who will soon be gone like Duncan and Garnett, but eventually, it looks as if the NBA will be a league full of offensive-minded players, and maybe even coaches, who want to run the same style we see more & more of........The Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, whoever else I left out, and this years latest addition to the run & gun style, the Houston Rockets.
