Giannis Antetokounmpo fires back at criticism of defense in the NBA
What do you say to those in Europe who claim “there’s no defense in the NBA”? Giannis Antetokounmpo: “That’s not true, guys, it’s not. Do they play defense in Europe? I mean, I don’t know. But if they do, I was the top scorer in the 2022 EuroBasket and the Olympics. Defense is intense in big NBA games.” “I saw Sasha Vezenkov’s interview, where he said, ‘They play defense in the NBA; it’s just that players are so talented offensively that you can’t stop them. You have to give something up.’ That’s true. In Europe, team defense is more tactical. In the NBA, all five players on the court are good—you can’t stop everything.”Source: Sport24.gr What’s the buzz on Twitter?
