Uninterested defense is even more contagious than hard nosed defense.
I would HATE playing with a guy who demanded the ball on offense, but didn't give a shyt about giving effort on D. He is literally just standing around at times, just looking. I mean, spectators are spectators, not phuckin defenders. Multiply that by 2 and you have one inconsistent defensive team.
And something that bugged me too was at the Laker game, Stat and Melo were all smiles the whole game, palling around with Kobe and smiling, being behind 12-15 all phuckin game.
