Kobe names top 5 players he ever guarded

[Bilz]

The correct answer should be
1. TMac
2. Baron Davis
3. Gilbert Arenas
4. Stephen Jackson
5. Anyone he faced after 2003

clyde Drexler? I mean he wasn't a scrub but......clyde Drexler?

A prime Clyde was only second to Jordan but,When Kobe played Clyde , Clyde had to be like 60 years old...

 

[Ziggiy]

Mj,Kobe,and Bron recognize and respect each other as all time greats. I really don't understand these stan wars

Breh if there were no Stan Wars the Coli would implode.


Kobe, MJ, and Lebron could be photographed having dinner together with all of their kids holding hands and singing We Are The World and nikkas would still find ways to make them mortal enemies

96, 97 and 98 Rockets were legit title contenders. Had Dream, Barkley and Clyde they were going to the WCF and were a veteran team. Kobe was 18, 19 and 20 years old. You really think a player that could be in college wouldn't have a difficult time versus a HOF'er and NBA Champion?

This nikka bugging the fukk out.. I seriously expected him to say Paul Pierce. Kobe didn't even play against Drexlar at his best foh.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Clyde Drexler though? How the fukk old was Clyde when Kobe played against him?He was way done at that time.

I legit think he felt the impulse to show clyde some love and replaced tmac wih him

 

[T.he I.nformant]

kobe wasn't playing against a 92 Clyde who was getting to the finals dude, he was playing against a older injury prone Clyde who could barely stay on the floor.

He played against nobody who was better than that?

Clyde posted 18 points on 44% shooting, 6 boards, and 6 dimes Kobe's rookie year. He was 34 years old. Kobe was 18. And he pretty much did the same thing in Kobe's 2nd year which was his 15th year. Clyde played in 132 out of a possible 164 regular season games during those two years and started in everyone of those. To recap, the nikka wasn't exactly a scrub. Also, it's Kobe's subjective opinion who was a tougher matchup for him. Also, nikkas may not want to hear it but Clyde had a better career overall than T-Mac so it sounds way better to put yourself in the same sentence as Clyde compared to T-Mac. So, it serves Kobe better to say he had a tougher time guarding a HOFer than to admit he struggled guarding a nikka who spent his twighlight years playing glorified pickup full court with some Chinamen.

Clyde was a random name out the blue but he is a Hall of Famer and was one of the better shooting guards of his time especially in his prime. If Kobe gets asked this question a month from now he'll probably give another answer besides Jordan who will always be in his top five.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Clyde drexler????

And since when did he ever had to guard Hakeem Olajuwon???

Dude is just saying anything to slight A.I. and T-mac.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Clyde and Hakeem??

 

[Jplaya2023]

poor young and dumb coli nikkas who never seen clyde play

2nd best SG ever.

 

[Draje]

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.

 

[jadillac]

Dudes in here really are trying to tell Kobe who should have said.

How would y'all know?

Clyde Drexler probably gave a young Kobe fits just bc of his inexperience. Clyde was a crafty player in his latter years.

 

[42 Monks]

Kobe guarding Hakeem in the post

a battle for the ages

 

[Gyasi85]

lol...Clyde name done caught nikkas off guard but well versed nikkas know better...between him and Mitch...wasn't nobody else from that era worth talking about...he was a problem..it was only his knees that got in the way..I despise Kobe with every piece of my soul but the nikka speaking truth here...
