Yes. Growing up in Philly in the 80s and 90s, I'd still hear about Bobby Jones (from my dad and others.) Marc Gasol is the best white guy defender in recent years, it seems. A very smart player, like Pau. Of course, Davis & Embid can run him outta the gym.

JJ Redick is a good example of a white guy who gets everything he can from his athleticism (average for the NBA). He's a pretty good defender thanks to his timing, hustle, & general hoops IQ.

Jordan also made playing great defense cool. He was an incredible defensive player.
