The first step is admittance.

He looked pretty good defensively at the World Championships this summer in what I saw. Hoping he can put it all together even if I'm not a huge fan of his game at times.

Defense to me was the easiest part of the game. Stay in front of your man, deny the ball, stand your ground.

A big part of defense is the having a mental edge to you and 'wanting it'. Comes easily for some, not so easily for others.

Yeah, it's a selflessness and determination to stop your opponent for the team.

That desire come's with putting your team first. I think a lot of these ball hog type players lose focus on defense as they don't get the same glory or recognition from it.

This is about as impactful a statement as Malcolm X admitting he's black were he still alive.

Depends. I think passing is the easiest part of the game, but I have a lot more vision and skill passing than I do sliding my feet.
