Does offense or defense win championships? Dream chasing: Only good offense and defense can win championships

Hupu News November 07 Today, Warriors player Draymond Green talked about his debate with Durant on whether defense or offense wins the championship in his podcast:

"KD said, 'Then What about offense? ’, he was referring to his response when I said, ‘Defense wins championships.’ I don’t mean that a team that only relies on defense doesn’t need offense.

No, the fact is that you have to be in the top ten in the league in both offense and defense. To win the NBA championship, this is a fact.

When KD said, 'What about the offense? We have seen teams in the NBA in the past, and we will see them again in the future.

So my point is: If you find a team that doesn't defend, I can show you a team that can't win the championship. My actual words are, those who don't believe that "defense wins championships." People who can't win championships.

KD responded to this: I'm talking about "people who can't win championships." So I don't understand why he thinks my words are wrong. Targeting him. Since you already have two championships, this does not include you unless you feel that you are being criticized. I personally don’t think so, because I know very well that you have won two championships.

I am not one of those people who wants to belittle KD’s championship content. I know very well what happened to his two championships and how important they are.

However, I think facts speak louder than words. Look at those teams that are good at offense and defense. They all won the championship with good defense but poor offense. Teams usually make it to the playoffs and then lose. Teams with good offense but poor defense usually make it to the playoffs and then lose, or they don't even make it to the playoffs.

So, the fact is, you have to be in the top ten in both offense and defense."
