82Games did some defensive analysis and Michael Redd was the worst defender at the 2 guard position in the NBA... (The data was from 02-05, but it showed a consistent trend)
DEFENSIVE STATS LINK

Michael Rosenbaum's analysis of Redd:
"Michael Redd is in a league of his own on defense at the shooting guard position. The difference between Redd and the next lowest-rated shooting guard is three times as large as the difference between the 2nd and 10th lowest-rated shooting guards. And Redd has been very consistently ineffective over the years. Again, defense may win championships, but it does not pay the bills."
Hahah, sigh. But, I think I'd rather watch us lose with amazing offense and horrible defense, than lose with horrible offense and horrible defense.

I was thinking about the free throw I missed [late in Game 3], about different situations that happened in that series. I'll never forget it. It's going to stay in my mind until we win it all."
