@Keenan Norris because look at how physical the defense in this game. Being physical on an offensive player literally drains the offensive player from doing anything. Jumping, running through screens, dribbling, and creating space. Look at KD in the Boston series in 2022. The refs in that series actually allowed defense to be a bit more physical (not to the extent of this game). You saw how much it affected KD's scoring and how he struggled to create space.

When defense was the most important thing
These videos are the best on KZread and I forgot about some of these games or didn't watch it Live. Keep them coming.
It's sort of a weird flash back seeing that not every possession starts off with a ball screen. And the paint is so packed. Nowadays if you keep you defense compressed, they'll bomb you with 3's. I've been watching since the late 80s. I'm still debating if the 3 point line, as is, is a good thing or not.

The following year Artest happend.
2004 college senior year, me and the guys had a private court we'd go to and play pickup once or twice a week after class. Probably a couple months before this really happened so probably January or February, I did the exact same Tayshaun block to someone who played on the varsity team and saved the ball from going out of bounds. He had caught the ball in the paint, takes 1 or 2 steps for a wide open layup and I'm coming full speed from half court behind him and block it, ran over to the sideline and save it from going out of bounds. After the play was over he came up to me and said great hustle or something to that effect. Without question it would lead my very short highlight reel of everything I ever did in 🏀
4:24 better than lebrons block
IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT QUITTING WON'T SPEED IT UP. No matter how bad it is ,please keep pushing! It will all make sense ❣️🙏🏽
One of the greatest blocks of all-time!

Wow. Tayshaun's block is in the top 3 NBA history IMO I may be biased though as this was my favorite Pistons team. A heart and soul group made up of a bunch of 'castoffs' from other teams. They should've repeated, if only they drafted Melo.

Lebron started doing that block attempt after seeing Tayshaun do it here. That was the best block in nba history and basically won that series, can’t go down 0-2 to that Pacer team.

Underrated playoff series
The block heard half way across the world!
When NBA Eastern Conference Finals is a very low scoring Game but much entertaining and many Defensive Battles .
Intense!
Miss the days when a team would use one court design all season, and had distinct home and away uniforms they stuck to. It's chaos these days, you can't even tell who is playing if you just happen upon a game.
people call the chase down block the Lebron block but a lot of people don't remember he learned it because of Tayshaun Prince who was known for it before Lebron

Cannot believe it's been 20 years since this incredible game. A defensive masterclass on both sides. The chase on screens, the switch, 3-4 man rotations, the hedging, the blitzing. You still see some of these concepts today, but today's players have a LOT less discipline on closeouts and just try to swipe the ball from behind
