Jaren Jackson Jr. chose a lineup featuring Avery Bradley, Dillon Brooks, Jaden McDaniels, himself (Jaren Jackson Jr.), and the legendary Shaquille O’Neal. His picks reflect a mix of contemporary defensive talent, such as Bradley and McDaniels, combined with the intimidating presence of Shaquille O’Neal, who dominated the paint during his career.

Paul George, on the other hand, opted for a lineup with a more classic flavor, showcasing some of the all-time great defenders in NBA history. His selections include Gary Payton, known for his tenacious on-ball defense, the gritty Tony Allen, the versatile Scottie Pippen, the legendary rebounding and defensive specialist Dennis Rodman, and the shot-blocking extraordinaire Hakeem Olajuwon.

NBA Fans Roast Jaren Jackson Jr’s All-Time Defensive Team

The NBA community was left scratching their heads after Jaren Jackson Jr. revealed his All-Time Defensive NBA team picks on ‘Podcast P with Paul George’. The selections took a different approach, which led to a barrage of bewildered reactions from fans.

One fan questioned, “Is Jaren off a perc?” This comment suggested that Jackson’s choices were so unconventional that he might have been under the influence when making them.

Another comment straightforwardly labeled Jaren Jackson Jr. as “delusional,” implying that his selections were far from the norm and reflected a disconnect from reality.

A more extreme reaction suggested that “Jaren Jackson needs to retire after this.” The sentiment was that his unconventional choices were so surprising that they warranted retirement from the NBA.

Several fans couldn’t believe Jaren Jackson Jr.’s selections, with one exclaiming, “LMAO… so JJJ is just absolutely clueless!?” and another wondering, “Tf is Jaren thinking he can’t be right in the head.”

The prevailing reaction from fans was disbelief. One commenter questioned if Jaren Jackson Jr. was joking, saying, “Jaren gotta be joking right,” as they struggled to comprehend the reasoning behind his unique choices.


Who Should Be On All-Time Defensive Team?

Selecting an All-Time Defensive NBA team is a challenging task, given the wealth of legendary defensive talent that the league has seen over the years. While Jaren Jackson Jr.’s unconventional picks raised eyebrows, there is consensus on some iconic defenders who should be on such a team.

Nicknamed “The Glove,” Gary Payton is often regarded as one of the greatest defensive guards in NBA history. His relentless on-ball defense, ball-hawking skills, and ability to disrupt passing lanes make him a unanimous choice for an All-Time Defensive team.

While Michael Jordan is more renowned for his offensive prowess, he was no slouch on the defensive end. His competitiveness and ability to lock down opposing players, especially in clutch moments, solidify his place in the All-Time Defensive lineup. 

Scottie Pippen’s versatility on defense was a game-changer. He could guard multiple positions, disrupt passing lanes, and protect the rim when needed. He’s a critical component of any All-Time Defensive team. 

The Worm, as Dennis Rodman was known, was an extraordinary rebounder and defender. His tenacity, grit, and willingness to do the dirty work on the defensive end set him apart.

Hakeem “The Dream” Olajuwon was a shot-blocking wizard and one of the best interior defenders in NBA history. His presence as a rim protector makes him a must-have in the All-Time Defensive lineup.

While these five players are excellent choices, there are many other notable defenders deserving of consideration, such as Bill Russell, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett, to name a few. Ultimately, the All-Time Defensive NBA team comprises a mix of players with the tenacity, versatility, and unique defensive abilities that have made them unforgettable legends in the league’s history.
