SQUEEZE the ORANGE....the Best of the Best from on the ORANGE to off the ORANGE....to POST Defense....to WEAKSIDE HELP Defense...the LOGOS' All-Time leaders 1st Team DEFENSE

Championships are won by it....Great players swear by it as do Great Coaches...and it is not the End of the floor that gets all the rave but its determination....the will to do it...and How BIG is your VALENTINE?....the LOGO'S All-Time 1st Team Defensive Team.

Almost every team that ha hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy has laid their hat on Team Defense or centered around a great defender which is usually a Shot-Blocking and intimidating Big. The BLUEDUDE wants to take you to a place where arguably the 90s Bulls had the two best Perimeter Defenders of All Time in M AIR J (used to one of his North Carolina License Plates with First n Flight at the top of the plate) and Mr PIP 33 (used to be one of his Illinois License Plates as well).

What is the Criteria...a player has to be 1st Team at least 5 times and winning a Chip is not a prerequisite.

The BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK all time LOCK DOWN 24/7 Shoe Program Defenders in then LOGO...sponsored by...What Scooby Doos were you wearing when you dominated the LOGO on D?

A lot of these players played in the 80s and 90s when Hand Checking was not a foul. To my point there are a lot of players in the LOGO Today that would have No Shot playing under the Old Rules where a Hard Foul was either shooting or out of bounds.

The most fascinating STAT is the LOGO's Defensive Player of the Year Award.....Multiple Winners include:

the WORM 2
Ben WALLACE 4
DREAM 2
Sidney MONCRIEF 2
SUPERMAN of Mouse Town 3

But no AIR JORDAN, BIG TICKET, the ADMIRAL, and the GLOVE at least Twice....

No Mr. PIP, DUNC, DJ, the SECRETARY of DEFENSE, and the BLACK MAMBA at least once....Wow

There is one more Direct Correlation to this list most everyone on this list has BLING....what a coincidence

If Hand Checking was still part of the game all those records being broken wouldn't be getting broke...trust me on that...they took that rule out to open scoring and the slow players and you know who you are.
