Garnett: In the past 30 years of the NBA, only 7 players have truly matched offense and defense, O Neal is not qualified
11:10am, 2 June 2025【Basketball】
Garnett recently spoke, saying that in the past 30 years of the NBA, there are only seven tough characters who can be regarded as "in-one offense and defense": Jordan, Damn, Duncan, himself, Kobe, James, and Antetokounmpo. He also specially named O'Pang "not qualified" and said that although he attacked fiercely, he had a defensive time? Not caught it once! According to KG, light energy scores or light energy defenses are not counted. It must be both ends, and it is so hard that it can be the absolute core of the team, and you rely on both ends of the offense and defense to support the scene. It’s not about occasionally making good-looking data, but about making stable output all year round. In the highest-level playoffs, you can carry the team on both offense and defense. To put it bluntly, even if the team leaves you, the offense and defense system will collapse half of the kind of ruthless person.
1: The letters are fierce now, and no one can stop them when they rush, and the defensive end also covers the sky and wins DPOY. But do you think he is now firmly sitting on the chair of "historical-level offense and defense"? **It's still a little early! ** His shooting is still a shortcoming, and when he is hard-core in the playoffs, he is easily targeted. Moreover, he has to play for a few more years with the sustainability and height of these "30 years" to get some harder playoff results to prove that he is worthy of being tied with the top masters. Now that I put it in, I feel a bit of a "loan" honor.
2: KG put James in, but many people don't buy it, especially about defense. It’s impossible to say that James is omnipotent, and he is a historically-level physical and football merchandiser, and he organizes an offense to catch up. At that time, the defense was really strong, and chasing the big hat was the signature. But the problem is persistence! ** Especially in recent years (it can even be said that the Heat has started in the later stages), his defensive end has been "power-saving mode" with the naked eye, and he often puts his hips on his hips or looks at his eyes. You said he has always been the team's defensive core? Compared with KG himself or Kobe's "candy" style of being tangled and fighting throughout the peak period, James is indeed a bad tone. KG put him in, which is somewhat of a "commercial mutual blow" or a relaxed standard.
3: Garnett himself, this is true, the Wolf King is indeed qualified to say it. At the peak of his life, he was a Timberwolves, and he was both a father and a mother. He was able to attack inside and outside. He was defensive from one defense to five, and he ran all over the field with passion. DPOY deserved it. He let himself in. Although he was a bit "boasting", his strong strength was there, and everyone basically recognized it.
KG said that O'Pang did not defend for a long time, which is a fact. On the offensive end of the Shark, he is a historical dominant force, and in the three-second zone he is a Tyrannosaurus Rex. But defense... **really, it's talent and body size. If you ask him to squat and protect the frame, there is a deterrent power and a lot of blocks. But ** Let him sweep a large scale and switch defenses like KG or Duncan? ** That's really hard for his tonnage. And O'Pang's defensive attitude... I understand everything I understand, I often take a lazy look, and if I am unhappy, I will take a walk. Plus the rules (no defense for three seconds) and the style of the times (the pick-and-roll is not as crazy as it is now) also helped him. So KG said he was "not qualified". Although he was a little cruel, **From the ultimate standard of "offense and defense", O'Pang's defensive flaws are indeed obvious. He has never taken DPOY and has never made it for a while, which is a tough flaw.
