Right, but that's exactly why there's a discussion about whether or not they existed. I have the DVD's too.
Really, does double teaming a guy based on where he catches the ball fall into a groundbreaking new strategy designed to stop an "unstoppable" player or does it sound more like something the EVERYBODY does at some point or another against their opponents?
It's a lot like the 2004 team D. It's not groundbreaking or revolutionary. It's just something that the Pistons had the personnel to execute successfully.
