Kobe was the best player of his era precisely because he could put up 30-40 (even 81) and then clamp down on the other team's best player to limit them think about it, depending on how the game goes, that's a potential 30-50 point swing. you aren't going to lose many games with a player who can do that

I am here because recently i have been hearing "kobe was overrated defensively" a LOT lately.

@CHAZZ08 8 ай бұрын

He was not overrated, he was relentless defensively.

Those same people probably overrate Lebron's defense when all he was, was a chasedown blocker

Im a laker fan and kobe is my goat. He was amazing early in his career, but later wont1st team off recognition later on. But when he wanted to, this is what happened. Ball hawk lock down defender. He would rather lock you up and embarrass you than score 40 on you.

I remember a story about Kobe wanting a scouting report on some scrub from a non competitive country he was guarding. When asked how detailed, he said he wants to know what the guy ate for breakfast.

I don't if we're that crazy or what but my brother and I are studying every Kobe Bryant's defense highlights videos. Bryant has been labelled an overrated defender but haters don't know a thing. We miss you, Kobe.

Theyll say anything to discredit kobe man. Dont let it bother you. We all know the truth and there is video proof. If kobe said no, it dont matter if your name is michael jordan or lebron james, youre not scoring, your best bet is ending up at the freethrow line because you were not getting off a clean shot to save your life.

@@presidentialkingdom2201 Somehow people think Lebron can guard 1-5 because they always list "he's 6'9 260" ok congrats. If you somehow caught it on the block vs Kobe there was a high likely hook you're getting stripped. His ball skills and defensive IQ were just spectacular. Top 3 two way player next to MJ and Hakeem. Him and Duncan are 3a and 3b on that list and 5a/5b in my all time for me

Kobe earned his All-Defense selections back when only coaches could vote for who got on those teams. I'll take the opinions of NBA coaches over writers or fans every single time.

7:04 Lol, I remember watching that game live when this happened. The entire bench went nuts, because they thought Kobe took an extra step and should've been called for a travel. Spain's reaction was so over-the-top that the refs gave everyone an official warning.

@2hurt2healmedia 11 ай бұрын

one thing i noticed is how well kobe and lebron communicate on defense as well. calling switched and giving support at the right time.

@chandleryen7315 5 ай бұрын

Kobe picked Lebron as the 1 teammate he'd love to have. These 2 are a match made and would rival dream combos like Shaq/Steph and Duncan/MJ

another thing i picked up on is how good CP3 is at defense. a lot of these highlights also show how great he is on defense

@ninjachannel007 7 ай бұрын

I always criticized Kobe''s style of play during his career--being young and thinking I had to choose between him and others--but there has never been any doubt about how obsessively competitive he was. This is a game they can win without him playing defense that hard, after he had already ascended to a plateau where he had nothing to prove. He's playing D like he's trying to make the HS basketball team.

I know this is me being a dick but... could you make one out of Wade's highlights? Him giving his all on Japan in 2006 and again in 2008 are two really underrated aspects of his career and he has an alley oop in one of the preparation games of 2008 that is really videogame worthy

One of the reason Kobe joined team USA is to literally guard the best shooting guards around the world, and to win not focusing on himself but for the team. IMO Kobe was not using the "Mamba" mentality at that time, because he has full trust on each of them as each of them are literally the best the USA could offer.

@bigblinky182 9 ай бұрын

So many of these would be a foul today (at least in the NBA). Someone needs to tell the league this type of effort on defense is actually entertaining because it leads to exciting transition offense.

This why 1992 team usa is the best. Kobe learn that from Jordan and pippen. And those two are not the only great defender like that in Jordan era everyone has a high defensive rating. And there is already NBA player like Anthony Davis it is David Robinson but has more better fundamental defense and efficiency. Height defense and fundamental what separate 1992 team and different stars with different strength plus they mesh up well together.

No bro, it was Kobe and Wade on defense. Kobe was the undisputed leader of this team btw as evidenced by the Redeem Team doc. Stop giving LeBron credit where he doesn’t deserve it (he deserves a lot but not here). He was definitely not the one that came up huge against Spain in the medal game, it was Kobe and Wade.
