Amazing how this attention-wanting idiot "KBP" continues to spew nonsense forever on this forum.

Zone defense is different from man-to-man defense in that, instead of guarding a particular player, each zone defender is responsible for guarding an area of the floor, or "zone", and any offensive player that comes into that area.
According to the definition, it's exactly a zone defense. If there were anything in the definition of a zone defense that states that one defender is required to stand in the painted area at all times, then you'd be correct.
However, you're never correct.
Juwan Howard just did the 5 second rule...
One rule that was NO QUESTION changed for the spurs was the implementation of the free throw line UP limit on players outside the three point line on free throws.
Cant tell you how many times I saw Manu or Tony sneak down to the corner and run in to grab the O rebound when we were such horrible free throw shooters.
