In the past, in the NBA, the integration of offense and defense was the standard configuration of superstars. However, with the development of the times, offense in the small-ball era is far more important than defense, and young people's offensive skills are becoming more and more comprehensive, but few are willing to polish their defense. There are only a handful of players who can be called offensive and defensive. Among the active players, only these five can barely be counted, healthy Leonard has no solution, and Alexander is at the MVP level.
Butler
The Heat is an old powerhouse, and it has been performing well over the years, the team has high tactical literacy, can play tough battles, and there is a recognized tough guy, he is Butler. Although he is 34 years old, Butler is a player who started defense, and his defensive performance is still excellent, averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season, shooting 47% from the field. The best thing about Butler is that every time he enters the playoffs, he can improve by one gear.
Embiid
Embiid is already the league's MVP player, and his offensive performance goes without saying, and he has won the scoring title for two consecutive years. This year, he also maintained an exaggerated average of 34.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, and there is a high probability that he will continue to win the scoring title. His defense is underrated, he can average 2 blocks per game, and he has also been selected to the All-Defensive Second Team 3 times, which can be regarded as an offensive and defensive star.
Brother Alphabet
One of the faces of the league, Brother Alphabet no longer needs to prove himself, and now he only has the championship in his eyes. Among the active power forwards, Brother Alphabet is the only one, and on the offensive end, he has an average performance of 30 points per game, and he has been selected as the best team for 6 consecutive years. On the defensive end, Brother Alphabet has won DPOY honors and has been selected as the best defensive team 4 times. In addition to the fact that the projection ability is a little worse, Brother Alphabet has almost no weaknesses.
Leonard
Leonard has always been a representative of offense and defense. From the Spurs to the Raptors, he has been very efficient, leading the Spurs to win the championship, also leading the Raptors to win the championship, winning the FMVP twice, and also playing a phenomenal performance in the playoffs. He is healthy this year, averaging 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, don't look at the statistics are not gorgeous, but he is everywhere on the court, he can play indiscriminately and defend five positions, he is a monster-like existence.
Alexander
If I had to choose an active TOP1 in attack and defense, it would have to be Alexander this year. The offensive and defensive guard, after Kobe and Wade, has been extinct for a long time. Alexander's appearance allowed fans to see the shadow of an old-school star. He has a low-key personality, a well-rounded style of play, sharp scoring methods, is good at mid-distance, is not afraid of confrontation, has first-class defense, and has a big heart at critical moments. is very similar to Kobe and Jordan, averaging 31 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals per game this year, with a 55% shooting rate, which is completely at the level of MVP.
