no way is he the best at his position. if u think that u know nothing about basketball. how can u say he deseved to make the all defensive team. its a joke. no ones afreaid to drive at him. hes easily fooled by any good crossover and he canat block shots. pierce is a better defender. so is bruce bowen
not another..."if u think that u know nothing about basketball" line....pierce is not a very good defender....like mcgrady plays lazy on D..bruce bowen is not a SG..neither is artest.....
Really he isn't...he may not be bad...but he isn't great either....what i'm saying here is not stupid...i have yet to see a SG that defends better than kobe..maybe AI..but he gets steals off the weak side....
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "olskoolFunktitude":</div><div class="quote_post">im sorry kobe is a much worse defender than people say he is poeple school him. he does NOT belong on the all defensive team</div> yes, kobe's defense isn't as good as people think it is, but it's still better than Tmac's. and it's true that he didn't belong on the All Defensive team, but niether did Tmac. and allnet, just because Bowen doesn't play SG doesn't mean that he doesn't defend SG's. he shoulda made the All defensive team over Kobe

Bowen could play a SG.. i dont see why it matters
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">Good comeback kobe is a good defensive player..the best at his position....</div> I think kobe is a good defender when he is guarding someone his size(6'6"-6'7") but he cant guard a guy as big as mcgrady. thats why tmac shakes kobe everytime he guards him.
Great defense can never stop great offense. That's why we shouldn't hold it against Kobe if McGrady shakes him and that's why we can't hold it agianst McGrady if Kobe shakes him.
Macgrady is just better. you know it in your heart even if you like kobe better. just whatch them play 10 games.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "truemaster14":</div><div class="quote_post">Well tmac can jump higher than kobe</div> your point being..?
3's- tmac jumpshot- tmac slashing- tmac finishing- tmac by a mile speed- close one but kobe wins- kobe jumping- tmac passing- even(both of them are great passers) so I have to go with tmac here
