I feel you. If we’re including defense as a skill, it’s not close. His peers/the NBA had no reason to overlook his defensive ability and put him at least 2nd team if his defense was that good.

Bruh. How old are you? Do you even remember T-Mac when he played with Vince Carter?
I don't care about the All-Defense vote. I remember what I saw. And T-Mac was a dominant force defensively. Hell there were people calling Vince and T-Mac the new Jordan and Pippen back then. And while the Jordan comp was outlandish for Vince, the T-Mac/Pippen comp looked on-point back then. And T-Mac's defense was a major reason people were saying that.
Look I'm a Kobe fan. And I get why you're being defensive. Kobe is the more successful player by a wide margin. But even Kobe would tell you T-Mac was the toughest player he ever had to deal with. Not LeBron. Not Wade. Not anybody else. It was T-Mac. And that was mainly cause T-Mac was just as skilled as Kobe while being taller and more athletic. Now even with those odds stacked against him, Kobe still ended up being the better player. But that was mainly cause of his superior intangibles (like his insane work ethic and killer instinct). With that said, T-Mac was also unlucky with how many injuries he had.
All in all, even if you take injuries out of the equation, at their best I would still take Kobe. Because like I said, that killer instinct would help him overcome a guy who was as skilled and talented as T-Mac.
You don’t get to interpret for Chauncey c00n. Like Chauncey isn’t smart enough to speak for himself and say what he means. Jalen stayed a top 5 that billups and pierce agreed with. They all have Lebron over Kobe and you’re mad@ this white boy not knowing how we talk.
I'll interpret what happened there
3 players just said Lebron is “definitely” top 5 and they know much more about basketball than you so fall back and pay proper homage.
Bruh I'm old enough to remember that (I'm 31). I was a huge VC fan and followed them religiously for a min. That proves my point though; all that "baby jordan" talk VC was getting at the time...it was for his offensive ability. Not saying this is you, but a lot of people tend to just remember offense when talking about past people. I'm also not saying Tmac was a slouch defensively because he wasn't. He was a good help defender. All I'm saying is he should have at least gotten a 2nd team mention if he was that good defensively. I see what you mean though

You white. Who are you to talk about c00ning?
Don't get mad you don't understand the way we talk. Chauncey didn't cosign Jalen's top 5. He was only respectably moving on the convo.
Stay outta black topics since you don't understand how we talk crakkka.
