Having knowledge to defending the person with the ball is very important. You don't just want to defend the ball handler any kind of way. You want to make sure if the ball handler is a good shooter to get up close on them and limit the space between you two. If the ball handler is good at getting to the basket, you want to give them a little space and try to make them change direction by cutting off the path they are trying to go. Good defense can definitely determine the outcome of the game. After all in order to win a game of basketball you have to score. More importantly you have to stop the offensive player from scoring. This video is a great example of some of the best defensive plays of the past NBA season from some of the greatest players in the league. Concentrate on where the player who is defending the play is before the play and where they end up.
