Not at all. Defense is probably my most valued attribute in a player. My all-time favourite player, by a wide margin, is Scottie Pippen, who derived a massive amount of his value from defense. I loved Stacey Augmon, even if he was offensively inept at the NBA level. I loved watching the Jordan/Pippen/Rodman/Harper Bulls mostly because of their defense. Same for the Celtics of recent vintage.

The reason I valued Bayless over Rondo way back then, prior to Bayless having played in the NBA, was because I read a lot about how Bayless was active and quick on defense and projected to be a good defender, in addition to being a dynamic offensive player.

Defense is extremely important to me. It's why Batum and Oden are my favourite players on this team.

Kind of a non-sequitur, though I realize why you said it. I view PER as a good measure of production--everything that isn't defense.

I think that's why most of my favorite football players are on defense as well. I love good defense.
