Against the recent NBA Champions, say the past 10 years or so. I remember Tracy McGrady saying that this was the best defense he played against since he’s been in the league when the Celtics snapped Houston’s 22-game winning streak in their house. He debuted in 1997-98 during the finale Chicago Bulls 72-69-62 win 3-peat. Dwayne Wade also said the same thing with his 31% shooting and 13ppg vs the Celtics this season as the TV Analyst during the Finals. He debuted in 2003-04 the year with the Pistons shut down the Shaq-Kobe-Payton-Malone(injured) Lakers the way the Celtics just did and Ben Wallace was still a great enough defender to make the All-Star team.
