Top 25 Best Defenders in the NBA

5. Jimmy Butler

Jimmy Butler put on one of the most memorable performances in NBA history recently and it was in a practice.

In the now infamous team scrimmage this offseason, a disgruntled Butler reportedly played with the end of the bench guys for the Timberwolves and beat the starters, including Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins.

Butler was able to dominant that scrimmage because of his defense, as he is one of the best defenders and fiercest competitors in the NBA.
