A few big-name players come to mind—Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. What do those players have in common? They are all-time NBA greats. The NBA game has always been about playing both ends of the court. No matter how good a player is at getting buckets and putting up 30 points a night, he will never be considered truly great and might not even win a championship if he does not play the defensive end of the floor just as well as or even better than he does at the offensive end. Wing players have always been some of the most talented scorers in the history of the game. And among them, no other player has ever been more talented in putting points up on the board than MJ himself. But even Jordan was a Defensive Player of the Year awardee. Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant has an all-time high of nine All-Defensive first team selections.Did you enjoy this excerpt?If so, be sure to pick up a copy of this basketball biography book on Paul George today!
