Here's the thing that bothers me about the constant JJB hate--

I'm still not sure anybody's ever established why JJB doesn't essentially meet the standard that an 8th or so man on non-Lakers-stacked team should meet. It's all "he can't play defense" or "he makes bad plays for every good one." Fine. Let's assume all that's true. I'm still not convinced that it (or some equivalent) isn't also true for the 8th man on, like, 27 or 28 other NBA teams.
