Iverson got a ton of steals because he played top key zone or box in one when he was always on the ball but he had that first step that was unreal esp in his younger years plus dudes would try to cross him up and you just couldn't early in his career ... One dude on every team thought they could out dribble dude and it just led to a lot of sloppy play and AI benefitting from it.
But yeah D isn't something you have to watch but something that some players get overlooked on because of stats ... Lebron blocks shots you can read about it in a stat sheet but you just don't know how well he does it unless you watch him recover chase someone down from behind and throw that shit against the backboard
