How does any of that show that Bron was a harder guy to defend? Was Kobe sticking Bron all the time in those games?
Kobe talking about who was the hardest to defend 1 on 1 and you bringing in stats with no context at all.

But the stats and numbers say your toughest matchup was Lebron. Every time you played him your numbers and percentages dropped drastically. Similar to the way Demar Derozan's numbers drop when facing Lebron. It's why struggled to beat him time after time after time after time again. He pretty much owned your entire life and outplayed you every single time.
I wonder how many rings Demar would have won with Prime Shaq if this was all he had to put up.....He would probably be looked at in a different light

He has a mental illness. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was touched as a kid.

Derozan style of play is similar to Kobe offensively but that’s where it stops.
His skills, feet work and angles are nowhere near prime Bean. He’s basically a half priced great value version of The Gawd.

The thread isn't about Bron bruh. Plus this is Kobe's opinion so you can't even debate itBut the stats and numbers say your toughest matchup was Lebron.

Nba 2k facts....visual concepts/Sega took over for a reason. NBA live was just a popularity contest...glad 2k came out in dreamcast in 99 and I never played live again .
Kobe, tmac, & Durant were dominant way before being in the cover.
Hell, Nba 2k made people reapreciate Mutumbo as he could block and guard 3-5.

He’s not talking stats. Dawg skill. Let me repeat that again SKILL. How are you gonna tell a nikka who his toughest matchup was when he witnessed it first hand. Y’all gotta chill with using stats as a basis for a every got damn argument man.
