Me too, lol. Well, Atlanta isn't really a ghetto. College Park, East Point, Hapeville, etc most of the places in the south are the ghettos, where all the bad stuff happens. Thank god Atlanta ain't Detroit though LOL. Bankhead is probably the worst place, and bad to stay outdoors during the night especially around GA tech and downtown. It's worse than Chicago. I've been to Chi-town a couple of towns and it's a great place. Food is way better than the ones here. And ya, I've heard of deep dish, it's better than the ones at Pizza Hut around my neighborhood. I'm sure those pizzas were left to rot for 10 years.

As for football, I think Green is slightly better than Julio. I don't think we (the Falcons) can't beat anyone good if we can't keep our lead. Them hoes don't come up to watch any basketball games.

Atlanta is, eh, okay. Food's okay, weather is usually muggy, there's crime up north, a lot actually, and a lot of fat people. If you're willing to visit, just know most people have thick southern accents. LOL. So, how's Chicago??

Hey Matt,

Sorry for the late response, I've been crazy busy lately.

Honestly, Wall, Rose and Lawson are all about even, but I would still give the edge to Lawson.

If we're talking about pre-injury D. Rose's speed, I would have him second behind Lawson (although still probably behind Westbrook).

And then Wall would be in third behind them.

So my top five overall would be:

1) Lawson
2) Westbrook
3) Rose
4) Wall
5) Parker or Bledsoe

Hey Matt,

That's a tricky question to answer. The major reason is, both players excel in different areas on the defensive end of the floor due to their physical makeup.

For instance, Rajon Rondo is the more versatile defender due to his length and large hands. In terms of defending a point guard on-ball, however, Chris Paul is as good as any in the NBA.

A major reason is CP3's ability to pick his opponent's body, yet still maintain his base so that he cannot be taken off of the dribble. Rondo is excellent at coming up with steals, but he also takes more risks.

You can't help but feel confident with either player. CP3 is just the more responsible of the two.

Rondo is the more versatile.

Hey Matt-

For defensive rating, the lower the number is, the more impressive it is. DRtg is just another way of saying points allowed per 100 possessions, so you want the fewest possible.

As for MJ, that just shows why you can't look at them in a vacuum. Personally, I prefer to look at the difference between an individual's DRtg and the points per 100 possessions allowed by the team as a whole.

No question. I've already started a rough outline for a couple of positions and I'll definitely let you know if/when I post it.

Hey Matt,
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my article. I think that ranking the top 10 defenders at each position would be a very fun project. If I find the time to get it together and really do it right, I'll certainly look into doing something like that in the future. Thank you for the suggestion!

Yeah, man. Hard to believe the Chiefs have the #1 offense. Would have never guessed it
