He said his defense had faltered in "recent years", and made that comment regarding the 2003-04 season, when he DID make the All-Defensive team. Along with 2002 and 2003. So his own coach says that he didn't deserve those.
And have beef with your coach when he's one of the greatest ever and guided you to all your rings.
And....once again his own coach, Tex Winter, says you are WRONG.
"He's basically playing a lot of one-man zone. He's doing a lot of switching, zoning up, trying to come up with the interception.
"The way Kobe plays defensively affects the team," Winter added. "Anybody that doesn't play consistently good defense hurts the team.
That was Tex in 2007. So take away those 2006 and 2007 selections too.
So we have a guy who won all-defensive selections from 2000-2004 and 2006-2012....but within both stretches, his own coaches are saying those awards were bs.
Is there another player in the league who's gotten his All Defensive nods ripped apart by his own coaches?
And it's not like he got better later:
That was when they FINALLY stopped giving Kobe All-Defensive nods.
Though it might not have been as bad as 2011, when despite that gambling, Kobe only averaged 1.2 steals and 0.1 blocks for the season....and made 1st-team All-Defensive.
You can see why they took the award away from the coaches.
HOMIE .. U DO REALIZE THAT PHIL JACKSON AND HIS COACING STAFFS NUMBER 1 TACTIC TO GET HIS PLAYERS MORE MOTIVATED WAS TO SCRUTINIZE THEM THROUGH THE PRESS? IS THIS SERIOUSLY NEW TO U?? LMFAO.. HE DID IT WIT LITERALLY EVERYBODY, AND IT WAS JUST ANOTHER TACTIC TO GET KOBE TO LOCK IN ON DEFENSE. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DOIN.. APPARENTLY, U DONT. AND KOBES D DID FALTER UNDER MIKE DANTONI LMFAO .. U REALLY HAD TO POINT THAT OUT? STILL WAS A LOCK DOWN DEFENDER WHENEVER THE TEAM NEEDED HIM TO BE....PERIOD.

He deserved defensive first team in most of those years about as much as he deserved an All NBA award last year.
Playing defense for a couple games and taking 80 games off isnt impressive. But Kobe knows people like you would only remember the peaks and not the endless valleys.
