It's incredible how the media ALWAYS concedes that Kobe "saves himself" for offense, yet they reward him by voting him to All-Defensive Teams. These accolades should be based on PERFORMANCE not on hypothetical abilities.
in the later years of kobes career he's been trying to help out too much i've noticed which phil jackson has noted calling his defence in the declining stages. However you can't deny that Kobe is one hell of a scorer.
I'm sure Kobe blamed it on Vujacic, like he always blames when he messes up a defensive assignment. Vujacic could be on the bench and it would still be his fault Kobe got scored on.
@Jumpman1989@Sovnarkom im not trying to suck kobes dick, im just saying or an older guy, whenever i saw him play the celtics he'd lock down ray or paul, coming off all those picks and still getting a hand up, you cant base his defense off a highlight where he avoided contact with rondo so he wouldnt get a silly foul. just saying
@Sovnarkom You gotta be kidding me. Maybe not the last 2 years. But prior to that, he was an ELITE perimeter defender. How easily people forget. It's not all about steals and blocks.
@Sovnarkom stop hatin. all good defenders make mistake at some point. kobe drops 40 on battier and bowen's head especially when kobe is in his prime. Yet u call those 2 the best defenders. smh
@Sovnarkom Normally there should be a help-defender there, if kobe tried to stop him it would be a foul on kobe. But thats just finding your role in a defence, its not about 1 vs 1, its about getting the most stops.
@Sovnarkom It's not easy to defend a guy that's one of the fastest players in the league and your 33 years old. Let's see ANYONE score on a 2000 Kobe.....
That was a blow-by, not a cross and @Sovnarkom, you are a faggot.

@Sovnarkom you're an idiot, so if a 23 year old can cross over a 33 year old he's automatically an overrated defender? smh get off rondo's dick dude
