Kobe names top 5 players he ever guarded

[Tha Gawd Amen]

Yeah a lot of people are ignoring the fact that guarded is different from faced. And speaking of Melo,I think there is a interview where he said Melo was the toughest opponent he had to guard.

Kobe Bryant: Carmelo Anthony, not LeBron James, hardest player to guard

Faced and guarded aren't really the same thing. Melo is probably one of the hardest players to guard but he's probably not the most dangerous to go against. I could see someone arguing that Cousins could be "harder to guard" than Duncan but Duncan is a 100x more dangerous to face.

Lebron, for all the shyt the Coli has given him, has pretty regularly dominated the Lakers when he plays them so it's not a surprise that Kobe sees him dangerously.

yeah kobe switching. he definitely said melo was a harder cover than bron a few years back.

Old people can be inconsistent like that.
