Has defense fallen by the wayside in today’s offensive-minded NBA? According to some of the most influential players and coaches in the league, the answer is a resounding yes
The Golden State Warriors with Steph Curry and Kevin Durant are considered by many to be the greatest NBA team of all time. In 2016-17, they had four All-Stars and an offensive rating of 114.8, by far the best in NBA history.
That same offense would rank 10th in the league this season.
