Gilbert Arenas Explains How HARD It Was To Guard Kobe!!

[@TheDocTan]

Shoutout Gil for mentioning Kobe’s ability to change his shot pocket. Another one of the little things that separates Kobe from other greats.

[@gmb3682]

Kobe essentially cocked it from the hip to keep it away from the defender and initiated his jump shot that way too. He became unguardable at that point. Kobe was insane @_@

I don’t know the study habits of the players in the league today but players like Gil, KMart and learned from those b4 them. As they spoke about Kobe, you can understand Kobe studied and worked on every aspect of his game so he had no weaknesses. The Mamba had excellent footwork (he trained with soccer players), could shoot with either hand and he could go left or right. Kobe also studied his opponents as well so he knew how to defend them. He knew their strengths, their weaknesses and their tendencies. Kobe was a true student of the game and a true savant.

What Gil said is what I’ve been trying to teach my high school players. Right handed shooters normally are better shooters going left. So if you’re guarding a shooter, we live with the drive. If he’s aggressive to the basket, force left and live with the shot. If he’s one of those ONES, then good luck lol

[@ggsimmonds1]

100%. I had a deep bag going left but the only move I had going right was a little behind the back slam on the breaks move that I could shoot from at a lower percentage or I used it to work my way to the left. I was an under 6 ft shifty but not explosive white boy so you wanted me trying to finish at the rim instead of doing shenanigans on the perimeter

[@talentwasted9982]

The scouting reports worked however they don't move the needle the way an elite or talented player does. In the NBA level, every little bit matters. Just look at Kobe Bryant, in addition to the amount of work he puts into the gym he also uses scouting reports all the time. There's so many wild stories of him knowing odd tendencies of every player, arena, ref, etc.. As Norris Cole said, you aren't necessarily making Kobe score less, you're making Kobe less efficient. And when you get to the conference finals or finals, the scouting report could determine the outcome of the game.

[@cdbl12]

I'm out from the Internet for quite some time and I'm glad Norris Cole is still part of this show!

[@_CoachW]

Obviously not the same thing. But I once knew a D1 coach for volleyball (top 10 team). Never played the game. He got in to coaching because his little girl was playing and they needed a coach. He didn't know anything at the time so he started watching games. And over time he started understanding so much more than any of the other coaches. There's something to just watching the sport and learning.

[@chrisbuehler6868]

Exactly. Everything with Gil is always if you weren't a superstar your opinion is less than mine. By his logic MJ is the only one who can give advice.

[@davidelsea1296]

I consider myself able to use both hands but I am dominate left hand and shoot left handed and I broke my arm when I was younger and spent the whole time using my right so it naturally made me want to drive and dribble dominately with my right hand and it all just came natural to me after that.

Gilbert is talking like he was a good defender, and he wasn´t detailed, he was a good scorer. The problem with those players like Giannis, Luka and others mentioned (that Gilbert discredit so blatantly), is that even if you know where he is going when he is frustrated, to have the ability in an instant (on the court, on game) to connect your brain with your own body parts and react on time is not possible, usually is too late or not well executed and the guy got a foul. I always remember when Kobe and Jordan were on court, and they were talking about the body movements and feet angles, that´s a level of detailed, like Rodman talking about the way the fingers in a certain play help the ball move and he checked the way it rotates to guess the direction after the ball touch the backboard or the rim, he prefer to see the way his teammates shoot to have an idea and be in the best position to get the rebound. The same goes to defense, Joe Dumars, Byron Scott, Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, this people of that level of DEFENSE DEATILED could tell you stuff like that, but they know some people or movements are even beyond their best capabilities, experience or speed to counter and move on time. Alan Iverson crossed Jordan on the first season they played against each other just to put an example.

Cold with the Left.. and remember Kenyon played on the biggest Stages

[@HectorSanchez-pl9pk]

For the scouting report to say good luck when it comes to Kobe, another example of why it's Kobe, MJ & everyone else

[@CorGP]

I wish Kobe was still here.

[@JC-hu6wg]

I love when players talk about defense. So interesting as a basketball fan to hear.

[@leojohnson562]

Some difficulty lay in processing in the moment a man who looked like Kobe with all of Jordan's mannerisms and focus on defending him in the moment. Most defenders will admit, they felled because they became a "headcase.

Kids in this era NEED Gil a coach. Whether it’s in the NBA OR College

[@2jverses]

The fact that the man has counter for a double team and hedging that makes him a very skillful scorer..

[@shakeemoff]

I miss my 🐐. Kobe Bean Bryant

[@tmt6145]

I remember that series against Houston. He fried both Shane Battier and Ron Artest that series. They were taking turns guarding him.

Just remembered that reverse spin on Kenyon Martin..

[@dominiquec8244]

A lefty Its EASIER to send him right because the shooting hand is CLOSER to you. So you can drag on the shooting hand and feel the step back even if you get beat the left hand is arms length away

[@MrMikelew2929]

Gil mentioning "detail" is ironic, because that was the name of Kobe's show on ESPN, where he was analyzing other players game.💯💯

[@dennisgordon7767]

Gonna drop some defense iq: Reason why i wanna play defense hard and glued is this - if i take their best offensive player out of rhythm, the whole offense will slow down to pause and think each time. To slow down offensive player you need to frustrate him - make him start thinking. Jab, reach, press early, everything thats extra effort to throw off his timing. If he takes four dribbles before getting into his shot and u meet him after two now he has to think. Thats good for you. Usually they give up pretty quick, this is form pick up games i play in. Never worry about any complaining from the other team about being physical (not saying play dumb and hurt people, just play physical) You will sometimes get appreciated by your team for doing the hard work but often times not, so love it for the sake of loving it.

Kenyon actually brought up something the military calls ‘survivor bias’ Back in WW2, planes that were coming back shot up and engineers kept reinforcing area that were riddled with bullet holes. They didnt realize that they should have been reinforcing the areas that weren’t shot up. Those were the weak areas that probably caused the other planes to go down. Same with game footage. Players should be given scouting reports and game footage of where their opponents are missing and struggling, not their strengths where they’re making the shots. Seen coaches showing their players film where their opponents are going off and focusing too much on their strengths

The way gill talks about Kobe story is like how Charlie Murphy talk about Hollywood on the Dave Chappelle show
