The Brooklyn Nets big man Nic Claxton has made NBA All-Defense a goal of his.
“Yeah, for sure. That’s always been a goal of mine,” Claxton said. “I take a lot of pride in defense. My numbers will speak for itself; the eye test, everything, it’ll be there, so I just continue to stay solid. That’s definitely one of my goals.
“As time goes on, it’ll show. I’m just going to continue to do what I do on a night-to-night basis, and at the end of the day all of that stuff will take care of itself. Defense is a skill, and that’s something I’m really elite at. So it’ll all show.”
