Tiago already best white defender in history?

Doug Collins was very good.

Especially on Gervin.

And like Hibbert he wasn't lanky but filled the space.

For those too young to know, here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWwrXyby0g

Wow, that was pretty cool. I remember this dude, and yeah he definitely filled up space (and those skimpy uniforms lol). I didn't realize he kicked that much butt and was an all star.

As others have said, he was mainly for guarding the paint, but the opposing offenses did have to game plan for him. You had to know where Eaton was at all times. Hell of a rim protection.

Yeah, forgot about him. He was awesome. As was Sloan as others have mentioned.

Michael Cooper tbh. He's listed as black but he looks milado. Great defender.

Neither is Splitter.

Kevin McHale was better than Splitter. Also much better offensively than Splitter.

Marc Gasol alone is better
