athleticism does not = good defense.
guys back then would play you tough and scrappy. maybe they couldn't jump the highest or were the quickest, but that doesn't matter.
i was at a camp once and John Stockton was there.. you would think "ehhh... unathletic white guy" but dude was tenacious. it's not about your athleticism, it's about positioning, angles, and playing smart
yes obviously athleticism doesnt equate to good defense but youre joking yourself if you think craig ehlo is stopping the players today driving by him nomatter how great his angles are.
