Fundamentally one of the best defenders in the modern era. An NBA Finals MVP for one of the greatest dynasties in the game.

He’s riddled with injuries since then, but he’s definitely still got some left in the tank for a few more good years.

The fact he doesn’t have more rings than he does is a curious thing, and can only be blamed on how injury-prone he seems to be, and leaving Toronto may not have been the best idea, either. If he’d have stayed there and remained more healthy, he may have 5 or so championships and be considered in the top-3 current players and maybe even top 5 or 10 all-time. A true shame
