Why do some People call MJ the greatest defensive player ever?

[rodman91]

Nobody calls him greatest defender.But he was one of the best.

He has case for being best perimeter defender though.

Highlight example of lethal bulls team defense, but Knicks most dangerous shooter that year was john starks....jordan made him give up the shot that set this up
Great team defense. Those Bulls had sick team D. Grant is really underrated these days.

Great coordination even though it was basically a dogfight at the end...bulls came away with it
