It's gotta be the help D. He's not strong like Ben Wallace, but he is very quick and he seems to be putting the fear into the minds of those driving into the lane. |
I was thinking about the Ben comparisons as well when Amir was getting a bunch of "Bens"
Bens are plays that basically don't show up, putting up a brick wall when a guy drives and forcing him to spaz out and throw the ball away, funnling a guy to another shot blocker, keeping the ball alive, tapping out a ball to keep it alive, forcing jump balls, or things that do show up that break the other teams back like big rebounds/blocks LATE IN THE GAME.
