<div class="quote_poster">Quoting redscoon:</div><div class="quote_post">How is getting called for hand checking 30 feet from the basket not bad defense? Michael Jordan also was addicted to gambling, cheated on his wife, and struck a teammate in the face during a practice, that doesn't make those things right.</div> The best defenders in the league play tough, physical defense...and in doing so, occasionally get called for handchecks...didn't you see bruce bowen hand-checking kobe like crazy during last years playoffs. That was considered good defense, but sometimes he gets caught... My point isn't about good defense or bad, its that being fouled when there isn't an intent on shooting... You still haven't explained to me how a loose ball foul 94 feet from the basket can be rewarded a guarentee of two freethrows. btw, what does Jordan's problems have to do with this topic??? Where the heck did that come from??
Because you said that Jordan did it, as if to say if Jordan did it, then it was ok. I'm not sure why you brought him up in the first place. This is a futile argument anyway. If you think getting called for fouls 30 feet from the basket is good D, then I guess you are entitled to that opinion. I'm done arguing this point.
