You sure cannot shut down great players like Kobe Bryant. But what you can do, is to slow them down and make them work hard for every shot, every little point. That is what Shane Battier is doing. He doesn't try to block Bryant's shots. He just tries to make him a jumpshooter and put a hand in his face so that he rushes his shot and cannot have a clean look.

  • the Heat signed Shane to guard KD in the FINALS this year.. :P

  • I'm probably one of the biggest Kobe and Lakers fan ever, but I respect what this man does. His defense is freaking crazy.

  • SHANE BATTIER BLOCKED JOE JOHNSON WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE GAME WINNER!!

    dude still got it

  • @meetseth3 yeah but he will be so much rested come playoff time when he wil be needed, he probably will only average 20 min a game.

  • @meetseth3 I guess you know more than an entire NBA franchise front office. Too bad the Heat didn't think of asking you before they made this ill-thought move.. At least we all know now.. thanks
