SALT LAKE CITY — Just as fast as they happen, basketball highlights get plastered all across the Internet through various media outlets such as Bleacher Report, House of Highlights, and Ballislife.com.
Most of them are offensive plays, rarely ever are defensive moves spotlighted, unless the block or steal is that eye-popping.
In an era where Boston’s Kyrie Irving operates as a magician with the ball, Golden State’s Steph Curry is draining 3s from near half-court and Houston’s James Harden has turned his step back into a thing of beauty, Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert is one of the few that continues to receive lump sums of money for his work on defense.
