Individual defense is irrelevant in a discussion about team defenses
..
I provided numbers that demonstrate that the best defensive team in the 80s would be just a slightly above average defense in today's NBA..
Naturally, today's defenses have progressed due to the collection of more data, elaborate schemes and superior athleticism from the players..this can't really be argued..
The only counter-arguments from the posters in this thread are "
Lebron couldn't handle the HARD FOULS of the 80s!!!"..
unquantifiable sports cliches..
