Re: Handcheck Defense vs. Zone Defense: Which really made scoring harder?

Posted this in the ECF thread, but also posting here because it shows just how drastic all these situations where zone-like defenses, in this case a wall, can be on keeping great slashers from getting to the rim. As much as made out about hand-checking and spacing just making it easier for anyone to walk right to the rim, I think it's important for more videos like this to take notice of just how difficult modern defenses can make life when you can't shoot.. To me, this plays a much larger role in shooting, pace and space, and death of true bigs, more so than any of the talking "softer league", "rule change" narratives.
