He's awful man to man, but his defense is better than his passing.



He gets backed down by bigger players.

And he was so bad against Spain in the Gold Medal game right? :rudy:

I expect that, but I still expect to see a certain amount of resistance at least. Seeing Melo play better post defense than Love kind of put his defense in perspective for me. He did step up some during the second half of the Olympics though.:ld:

Bron plays better post D than Love isn't a surprise. Melo's problem isn't that he can't play D; it's that he refuses to play it.

As bad as people say Love's defense is, it used to be worse. Baby steps with him.

He's a twig now though. Yeah he'll be more mobile, but he looks like a SG now.

I don't really see how any knowledgeable, UNBIAS NBA fan could say Kobe is a better player in 2012 than D-Will, a healthy Wade, or even Russy


the dude scores a lot of points because he shoots a lot... and does little else; how is that worthy of a likely top 5 ranking?

How many 81 point games do those guys have?

typical Kobe stan post... smh at not being able to differentiate between a player's career-long legacy and a current ranking as of TODAY


notice you don't see Tim Duncan fans in here saying he should be in the top 3 based on past achievements... that's what makes you Kobe stans certified retards
