Yes, D is always intense on those exhibition games.

Nice to see The Dream on the court, though.

Sadly that looked like very typical Vuc defense, poor closeout.

Knew this thread was coming the second that play happened. Glad to see this forum doesn't disappoint... :lol:

owned? more like destroyed, that might be a career killer for Vuc :cry:

Obvious post, but it's pretty clear that Nik is barely trying to defend Hakeem there.

Titles you thought you would never see in 2015 for 500, Alex.

I think they all were playing at 50% in those exhibition games. If it was a regular NBA season game, Vooch would have blocked that.

Lol I love how people are actually defending his defensive ability in here.

I get this thread is a joke, but that game was awful until the 4th. Like really really bad. I was kinda embarrassed for the NBA. During the big run Team World had, Nik played really well. Had a few rebounds and at least 2 assists. Anyhoo... it was cool seeing Dream and Mutombo again.

Lol I love how people are actually taking an exhibition game seriously in here.

Vooch is at least an average defensive player by NBA standards.

Owned? I knew Vuc haters would blow this out of proportion.

I am sure the tip was to take it easy on Hakeem so he doesn't embarrass himself in front of his country.

His defense wasn't that bad.

Can you imagine if Vuc blocked him? Vuc haters would be all like "omg he blocked a 50year old man from Africa in a charity game in Africa! Does he hate Africans?"

Cant win haha...

yeah, it's not like Olajuwan got off an easy shot, he had Vuc's hand in front of the ball the whole time. and Vuc wasn't even hustling for that.

but that move is still beautiful, and it'd be great if Vuc could learn it. he's got the foot skills, not sure he's got the handles or upper body fluidity for it.
