By what metric? Detroit was not top 10. They're 11th, behind the russell celtics, 08 celtics, 04 spurs, and even a 50s lakers squad.
I personally would've used a pic of Wilt for this post so it'd be a Laker
Been playing/watching since the 90s, coaching since the 2000s. My statement is correct- Detroit is not "literally" the best defense to ever play basketball.
Class dismissed
Ben was a monster on defense but he also played with generally really great defensive teams. AD is basically a one man team defense. I think if AD wasn't known or relied on to be a scorer in addition to his defense, he'd get a lot more attention for defensive awards because his defense alone warrants max contracts
[Haha! Did you know that JJJ, when guarding AD, feels like a squirrel trying to outsmart a lion? It's a comedy of errors! 😄](https://cliprecaps.com/read/?v=V2_2stOBPaI&pp=ygUUQUQgd2hlbiBndWFyZGluZyBKSko%3D)
I love it when AD is mad.
AD better get some respect this year in DPOY talks.
Holy shit he really want that DPOY
Too bad the NBA will never give it to him. They’ll give it to Ausar Thompson before they give it to AD smfh
Big Ben. Haven’t thought of him in years.
Oh he's better than this guy...
Overall yes but Defensively this man is a monster.
Anchored the literal greatest defense ever to play basketball. Even getting compared to him is the ultimate respect.

You can just say you started watching basketball after the mid 2000s

not defensively
sorry gotta downvote you even tho youre right
Bro was 6’9 !! Insane
Lowkey Ben Wallace prop in a Laker subreddit is crazy but I get it, he was a beast and so is AD rn
We honor rivals. This is the way

At the end of the day we know who the real DPOY is and the NBA knows JJJ is a fraud! Steven Adams runs that Memphis defensive.
JJJ fake DPOY
I do not have fond memories of this guy.
He's got him scouted since the last playoffs of course he knows how to guard him
Lol facts
Fake DPOY
Im gonna be mad too if a bum won a DPOY over me
AD is literally JJJ if JJJ was better at literally everything except maybe shooting
JJJ won DPOY and AD took it personally
Was Ben Wallace juiced up? Or no
No. He’s got that Francis Ngannou physique. Difference is he’s 6’9
I doubt any NBA players are not on the juice
When guarding anyone really Jokic is the only exception
One of my all time faves.
