As someone who had watched both D.Miles and Q's nba careers, I can say Q was definitely a more physical defender on the opposing guards (esp during his NY Knicks days). He wasn't going to be pushed around without dishing out some hard fouls every now and then. On the other hand, D.Miles was a super athletic and multi-faceted defender that could defend from 1-4 positions. D was quick with the steals on the passing lanes and was a hell of a shot blocker. Also, D.Miles was better equipped to be able to recover if his opponent got by him initially with his defense by using his quickness, length, and wingspan. Both Q. And D.Miles brought something to the table during their primes on the defensive end.
Thanks fellas. This was VERY entertaining. We know Q was in the defensive stance a lot. Q kinda turned into a real dirty knucklehead on defense who had real attitude while guarding many of the best players.
To me there is a clear distinction between defenders and defensive stoppers. A defender is a guy who plays hard and puts himself in position to get stops by playing smart bball on that side of the floor. Was Q rich all defensive teams caliber, nah. But he was dependable. And he could hit the glass really well for a guard.
D Miles is trolling 🧌. He know Q Ruch a defender. The conversation with Marion shows. Saying he guarded Kobe because the starter (possibly Marion) fouled out.
Q did play defense but he wasn’t a “defender”. He wasn’t a cone on defense and he got to play when people could be physical on defense. Q is from the era where a lot of peoples level of defense at baseline was Q. D-Miles was a “defender” dealing with all the issues 😂 14:28
When D Miles first came into the league, he was a high flyer with the Clips on the offense end. At that time, he was only behind S Kemp with highlight reel dunks. (....way before lob city). As far as Defense goes, neither of the Knuckleheads were known for their D. #Fact
This is the compilation we all needed before 2025. 😂
I'm crying. 😂😂 D gets Q every time when he gets on his Defender talk with the guests. I love it!!!
Q rich was solid on defense this shit is funny as hell tho 😂😂😂
I truly hope Q and D stay committed to excellence still the best NBA podcast
Yeah they was one one of the first ones to do it. Even before all the smoke. They had the pandemic on lock 😂
we need a compilation for 'straight out of highschool talk' !
😂yes
This is always funny!!!😂😂😂
This is the video compilation we needed 🤣🤣 Q can’t catch a break
1:21 "Lock in, who? Lock up who?" The way Marion started stuttering and Q interjected made this funny ah😂😂😂.

Q was def a defender. Tough and always giving 100%.
Like he said, he improved his defense late in his career. He played some defense in his prime years, but he didn't give 100 %.
Stop it
he’s not going to fly you out

Q was a defender as far as role, but he was never a defender in the sense of being a lockdown or a rim protector.

@CantBuyRespectTV definitely remember him blocking shots. Idk him defending to the level that he can call out q rich lol
D Miles is trolling 🧌. He know Q Ruch a defender. The conversation with Marion shows. Saying he guarded Kobe because the starter (possibly Marion) fouled out.
5:30 That's Common or Carlos Boozer?
Q be getting heated hahahahah

Q was a defender in HS, college and NBA
Now this is how you disrespect yo homeboy on a 2025 level 😂😂😂

Neither were known as defenders that only watch highlights and not the actual game. Quinton was a defender and D Miles was a shot blocker.
@ I watched just about every Clipper game each season. Q may have defended on the Knicks, but not on the Clips. He’s even said that.
HI-LA-RI-OUS!!!🤣 Oh, man! Woo!😂
Q rich had to guard the #1 options on every team I don’t remember d miles locking nobody up 😂
He lowkey defended in Miami
He played defense ever since he was in NY.
Ngl better defender that Dmiles respectfully and could rebound. Hit the 3
lmao listen. I have no memories of DMiles locking up lol
Classic Q Rich and the Blackest one!!
Hilarious 😆😆😆
Q play good defense but he ain’t a defender like Tony Allen or Marcus smart there’s a big gap in between his defense and their defense
Lol 😂 😂😂😂
😂😂
he was a defender
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This mad funny yo
😂😂😂
Dmiles funny 😂😂😂. Q was more of a defender than him. Dmiles was a better offensive player. Q rich had a better 3 ball
Q rich was the better offensive player and on ball defender. D miles was a better shot blocker.
P.S. D Miles just be trolling 🧌 Q.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
