I didn't say Kobe wasn't an All-NBA Defender at one point he was I'm saying he received some undeserved All-NBA Defensive Teams based off reputation which is true if you saw Kobe's defense in the Smush years where he coasted to preserve himself for offense. You putting words in my mouth.
LeBron can properly guard wings the fukk are you talking about. Ask D-Rose if LeBron can't move laterally lmao. LeBron is a better perimeter, help, weakside, and transition defender than Kobe. Stronger, faster, smarter, more versatile. I don't care about Kobe's All-D teams because he never reached LeBron's peak as a defender. He was never a defensive anchor like LeBron was and he never had top 3 Defensive Player of the Year finishes like LeBron did. LeBron's '09 season is one of the best defensive seasons ever by a wing.
LOL STOP IT .. LEBRON WAS EXTREMELY OVERRATED ON D, U CAN SEE IT WHEN U WATCH HIM PLAY NOW. AT HIS PEAK, HE WAS A GOOD, NEVER GREAT DEFENDER .. KOBE WAS A GREAT DEFENDER. WHEN THEY PLAYED TOGETHER IN 08 ON THE OLYMPIC TEAM, LEBRON WAS ACTUALLY KNOWN AS A POOR DEFENDER, AND KOBE WAS THE ONE WHO WORKED WIT HIM ON HIS D.... TO CASUALS, LEBRON SEEMS LIKE A BETTER DEFENDER BASED ON CHASEDOWN BLOCKS AND WEAKSIDE STEALS DUE TO GAMBLING. BUT TO ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE GAME, ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE.
