Do you know the skill and knowledge gap between you and Boogie? It's probably the same as the wealth gap between you and a billionaire. I genuinely don't understand people who think that they somehow have a barometer for basketball sense because they watch it compared to playing it.
Not that it matters but Boogie was a passable defensive player in Sacramento.
But even if he wasn't, if you put Boogie in his prime in any other league that was not the NBA (China, Europe, Australia), he would have been DPOY and MVP.
There are maybe less than 8,000 players in the world that play semi-professional to professional ball. The NBA has 350 of those 8,000. The best 350.
To make it to the professional league you have to be on atleast a D3 college team as a starter, more so as a star. Do you know the percentages of this? The sheer level of talent and skill it takes to get there? Do you understand the amount of work and time and effort it even takes to get to college?
Do you understand how uninformed your statement is or the level of who you are espousing?
Just because some can perform anything at a high level doesn't mean they know how it should be done and understood it.
...what kind of cognitive dissonance is this?
Let's have all the high school basketball coaches play Zion one-one and I am sure Zion would do a great job defending them and destroy them. Does that mean Zion knows what is good defense vs bad defense more than those high school coaches? Does Zion even cares? Who's opinion do I trust more?
