Kirk Hinrich’s Defensive Prowess

Kelly Dwyer, the dude that’s NOT J.E. Skeets on Yahoo! Sports’ Ball Don’t Lie, posted his top-ten defenders of the last-decade. Guess who made the list? Sitting pretty at #10, Nick’s boy Captain Kirk Hinrich!

From the article:

Hinrich fell off noticeably in 2007-08, though he did bounce back by a goodly sum last season. It does little to jettison him from this list, as the Bulls combo guard moves his feet quite well and uses a lanky-ish frame (for someone his size) to pester all manner of point and shooting guards, alongside the occasional small forward. Not the flashiest guy, he won’t be stripping you at the top of the key, but he will force you into giving up the ball or giving into a low-possession shot.

Also, rare video or Nick Gorsage immediately after reading this Hinrich love-fest.
