He tipped his toes and completed an almost perfect supplementary defense interference, truly remarkable!
The 4.0 version of Duncan is on the way!
Zhang Yang remembers that when Duncan was 39-40 years old, he had an outrageous stat - when he was on the court, opponents scored only 96 points per 100 possessions.
What does that mean? In the 11-12 season, Chandler allowed opponents 99 points per 100 possessions when on the court; in the 12-13 season, Gasol allowed 98 points, and in the 13-14 season, Noah allowed 96 points, all of whom were the best defensive players of their respective seasons.
And those three produced such performances before the "cylinder rule" modification that cut the Center's role, Duncan did it after.
Since the defensive players in the 14-15 and 15-16 seasons were small forwards, making comparisons difficult, Drummond-Green from the 16-17 season is a more suitable comparison, as he allowed 99 points per 100 possessions that season.
