Artest has averaged 2.3 steals or more 5 times. He must be the best defender in the history of the universe.
And since you tried to make this about position, Pippen's numbers would put him among the top three SFs in the league in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks. If you're going to say 2 guards don't typically rebound, you have to acknowledge that 3s don't generally get 9 rebounds/6 assists/3 steals either.
Not really, but that's a different argument that I don't want to derail the thread with anymore. And, VKA, I've just been [uck fay]ing with you as well. I honestly do think Wade is better than Pippen, but everything else has been in jest.
