Kobe Bryant 2008, 2009 & 2010 Playoffs: Ultimate Defense Highlights

[@joshuadavis9260]

This man made 12 defensive teams and they say he only got those selections in ladder years is because of reputation I whole heartedly disagree

[@TaybeenTrill248]

The media didn’t even vote on those awards NBA coaches voted on NBA defensive teams and they got it right . Basketball minds voted on that award not the media.

@@TaybeenTrill248when did it change to media

[@chandleryen7315]

@@TaybeenTrill248 Exactly. The kids today go "media awards" just shows you they just google stuff but can't even educate themselves on how all defensive teams were voted by coaches until the 2014 season.

Out of the 5 players who have 10 or all defensive teams. Kobe is the only guard with 2nd most selections with 12 behind Tim Duncan who has 15.

[@mart1n10601]

12 defensive teams... If it wasn't for the court case, he should have had more and more MVP votes.

[@chandleryen7315]

And been all nba first team instead of 3rd.

[@chriskelley4530]

You forget that kobe is 6 7 with long arms and good feet. One of the best on ball defenders of all time

[@ezekwu]

facts...

[@chandleryen7315]

You know what's crazy? He's one of the best on ball defenders. But he's realistically 6'4. There's a picture of him next to Jerry West who's listed as 6'3 back in 2007 and they're only about one inch apart in height difference

[@Idjeosnjsosdb]

@@chandleryen7315ever heard of angles ? Kobe was literally measured at 6’6 without sneakers and has a 7ft+ wingspan

[@d3adyoutubeaccount]

Not true. I’m a legit 6’5 with shoes and Bryant was shorter than me

[@justinwatson7778]

10:25 this is what I wanted to see from every superstar that’s defense!!!!!!

[@243354]

I think a lot of people forget about the defensive resurgence he had from 08-10 after really falling off in the mid 00's.

[@JavierBF_NBA]

Yep, his '08 version is one of my favourite defensively speaking.

[@Superfly369]

Falling off? He was still first team all defense those years as well

[@jjohnson4013]

Kobe 05-10 was all defense team

[@ArmandoKozomara]

He only missed the all defensive team in the 2005 season. Other than that first team! And sometimes second team

[@lioninthesun]

@@ArmandoKozomarahe missed a bunch of games that year

[@emmanuelormannie3674]

Can u do kawhi, draymond green, Tony Allen, jrue holiday next ? Love defense

[@Omar-n6p2u]

Absolutely not

[@michaelallen8112]

I know it's not alot of footage on these guys but I know u probably got vidz of them. Now can u do montage of Pip turning defense into off highlights. Then of Gary Payton Sidney Moncrief & Micheal Ray Richardson

[@Harden4threee]

The fact kobe was capable of guarding lebron is why I will always have him over jordan

[@tj5180]

Lebron who ?

​@@tj5180 *All-Time Leading Scorer in NBA History. And I'll go to my grave saying Jordan could lock him up one-on-one.

[@justinwatson7778]

Mhmm Kobe Bryant is a excellent defender not the greatest but definitely one of the greatest defenders. I already know he was sore as heck cause he had to carry offense but hey the dude wanted to win that bad I already saw a beat up out of prime wheelchair Kobe Bryant guard a young prime kd full court RIP Kobe ✝️

[@WORLDWIDESOCAL9]

hater hes closing out on every shot

[@TheMonjok24]

If you count knowing how to position yourself to contest and rotate then yea it is defense

[@leandrorodrigues6540]

If you think that only blocks and steals are defensive highlights, then yes. But not if you understand what is good positioning, great contest to a shot apply preasure on the ball-hander to cause a turnover - them, hell yeah these are definitively defensive highlights.

[@goosnavslakovic4908]

Dont worry guys. Remember: kobe is an overrated defender because... idk klutch sports or somethin

[@chriskelley4530]
