A good alibi is important so that the defense cannot be accused of something they didn't do. A good alibi proves that it couldn't have been him who had done the crime.

Is offense more important than defense in basketball?

No, offense is not more important than defense in basketball. There will be nights where your shot will be off, and it will seem like nothing is falling for you. As a player you can't control whether the shots are falling...but you CAN control whether your defense is good or not. Defensive intensity can be regulated, but the number of shots that will fall in the game cannot be controlled. Defense will always be present.
