I’m telling you this is a legitimate defensive strategy at the local YMCA (if you’re guarding a big that is). People get SO in their head. Bust your ass on defense to get a stop or two, tell them they’re ass, and watch them crumble after they miss an uncontested bunny. You’re coasting the rest of the game.
I was on a (for me) hot streak at the gym over the summer, hit 3 in a row from the corner and then this asshole guarding me just dropped his hands and shrugged and I proceeded to airball like a bitch. It's high-risk high-reward defense.
