Did you really fail (again) to read what I said...?
Why yes, you did.
"An all-time perimeter Defender (not the average Joe) can impact the game just as much as an interior Defender"
So are you saying that elite wing defenders have the same impact as elite interior defenders or are you saying elite wing defenders can impact the game as much as Ryan Anderson?
To clarify: An all-time elite perimeter defender CAN have the same impact as an all-time great interior defender... especally nowadays when the game is so much more perimeter-oriented.
I'm not saying this is always the case mind you, or that it's even common. What I am saying, however, is that fplii's statement ("a perimeter player can only have a fraction of the defensive impact of a big man") is not always the case.
I'm sure this line of thinking has nothing to do with Jordan being your favorite player. There isn't a soul in the world that would agree with you on this line of thinking
