Gilbert Arenas Says Zone Defense Was Created Because of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal

Arenas said it was impossible to guard Shaq or Kobe 1-on-1, which led to zone defense being created. "The league got scared. They put a zone in so we can kind of funnel Kobe and then we can put 1 in front of Shaq and 1 behind Shaq," Arenas said. He added that Kobe and Shaq were just too dominant.
