Defense is all about effort. Which Kyrie doesn't show much of on that end of the floor.

This has never, ever been true. One of the worst cliches surrounding basketball.Defense is all about effort.
Defense is all about effort.
Does anyone have access to the statistic on how many points the guy Kyrie was guarding scored? I have been in the middle of a huge debate with a coworker from Cleveland about how bad Kyrie is defensively, so I tried to make it a point to count how many points were scored on him. Just on watching it live, my count was 26. Anyone know if this is accurate?
2-7 is a horrible stat?
Man you guys are insane. Like for real.
97% of the NBA will never sniff a Finals.
That's all I have to say about that.
97% of the NBA isn't being named top 3 ever by espn. 97% of the NBA isn't called King..or the Chosen 1. 97% of the league aren't in 'Goat' talks. 2 of 7 blows when you consider everything else. 2 rings is awesome. Fantastic. But when you place it in context with all of the other narrative for LBJ, it's hella meh for the way he is gassed.
6 straight finals is cool for the athleticism and energy exertion..but if you're pile-driving your conference and then getting smashed in the finals, who gives a ****? Honestly. It makes it a whole lot less impressive in my opinion. Like, the road to the finals for you was paved with weak comp. So yeah, it was hard to get there because it was physically strenuous, bravo, but I'm not buying into the fact that you're really just that damn good if you stay losing when it really matters.
I don't have that, but yesterday on the Lebatard show they were saying that he was 80th out of 85 points guards in defensive rating which is basically points allowed per 100 possessions.

Homer Simpson can put forth all the effort in the world, but I would still give him 70.Defense is all about effort. Which Kyrie doesn't show much of on that end of the floor.
Kyrie sucks on defense, this is facts n shouldn't even be discussed
Not necessarily talent , but def just more than effort ...need a combo of physical tools, positioning, IQ, effort, n scouting to really be a good defenderDefense is all about effort.

Defense is a talent.
It is absolutely a talent. Ask any reputable coach and they'll tell you. Not everyone can be a competent defender just because they exert effort on defense.Not necessarily talent , but def just more than effort ...need a combo of physical tools, positioning, IQ, effort, n scouting to really be a good defender
Just like anything else, Depends on who you are honestly.Effort is a biiiiiig part of the equation when it comes to defense. A huge part and there is no arguing that. At all.
Aight, i'm out.Defense has 0 to do w/ talent.

Physical Tools play a part in how well a defender someone can be.Defense has 0 to do w/ talent. Effort plays a huge part in defense. Harden is very talented. But he gives no effort into picking up his man or fighting through screens.

Effort is also needed though.
You can't say talent has ZERO to do with it
Not one person said that Herb Pope.Dudes apparently believe that you have to be a born defender or something. You really don't. Playing basketball all my life has taught me that. If you don't have the "IQ" to stay w/ your man or switch off screens, then basketball is not the sport for you
Well, defensively, it will be tougher for your Mo Speights of the world than your Dwight Howards of the world just due to lack of physical tools. Dude is like 6' 10" and cant dunk the ball.Dudes apparently believe that you have to be a born defender or something. You really don't. Playing basketball all my life has taught me that.

I gave a LIST of things that all go into the equation for being a good defender.
Let me rePaste it since you are misquoting folks
Takes effort, strength, lateral quickness, muscle endurance, intelligence; etc
