What Dan is saying is that LGP is necessary, which you are agreeing with. He's also saying it's not sufficient. Just having LGP and being within 6 feet isn't enough. THere's more to closely guarding. I'm not saying I agree with him, just that what you're saying doesn't refute what he's saying.

Dan's talking about dribbling, not holding, the ball. The situations are very different, indeed.
