Michael Jordan, the Goat debate has always been like this!

Tyson Chandler, who had just been chewed out by Jordan, felt deeply wronged.

His opponent was Zhou Ze.

The man ranked first on this season's DPOY ladder, someone who could even contend for the title of the greatest defensive player in NBA history.

Not only did he possess bug-level physical gifts, but his defensive awareness and fundamentals were also at the absolute ceiling.

He stood a full tier above Dwight Howard, who ranked second on the DPOY ladder. Howard's defense was also legendary, but there was still an enormous gap between him and Zhou Ze. Howard's defense relied more on his "athletic talent." It wasn't that his defensive fundamentals were poor—they just weren't elite enough. Even late in his career, Tim Duncan could still serve as the San Antonio Spurs' pillar, while Howard drifted from team to team.

If it had been Dwight Howard, Chandler could at least have put up a fight.

But this was Zhou Ze—the DPOY among DPOYs, a true member of the D clan.

What was he supposed to use against him?

He couldn't move him at all. He absolutely couldn't move him. If he forced up a shot, there was a high chance he'd get blocked.

If he didn't pass it out, what else could he do?

As for...

Raymond Felton, the third-best point guard from the 2005 draft class, felt just as wronged. He truly hadn't expected Kobe's help defense to arrive so quickly. Was he really already over thirty? Why did his athleticism still feel like that of a young man barely into his twenties?

Kobe had practically smothered his face!

Did he dare shoot?

If he shot, he'd definitely get blocked.

Jordan cursing was already a regular feature whenever the Lakers played the Charlotte Bobcats.

"Michael, Michael..."

"Calm down!"

"Calm down!"
