He's still going to be able to post up and pull off his moves because of his footwork and fundamentals.

I also think he will try to distribute and get Gasol easy shots when he's back. I don't think defenses will gamble with Bryant.

Defensively is the issue and it was an issue before the injury.

Harden is a much better defender than Kobe. At least he tried to recover after he got lost in those clips. Kobe would have just conceded the open shot and then throw his hands up while giving disgusted looks at his teammates.
as far as superstars go
harden is up there with nash as one the worst defenders all time.
watching him is embarrassing sometimes.

Kobe is Old so he has an excuse but harden has none.

He doesn't put much effort into that side. Defense is largely tied into effort so yeah, his defense is usually not very impressive.

It's fine that a 35 yr old Kobe completely sucks dikk at defense. He doesn't need an excuse, he needs his Stans to accept that he's shyt. The Stans are still talking about the times Brandon Jennings and Rajon Rondo had bad shooting nights against him for fukks sake. :dead:

He called Kobe's great defense on BJ a bad shooting night... far from me saying BJ is a great player, he's picking a stupid place to hit Kobe.

He's not "Hitting" kobe, he's making fun of the fact you use Brandon Jennings bad shooting as a sign of good defense.

I didn't use it at all. Bilz exaggerates how bad Kobe's help defense was last year while ignoring how horribly lackluster the entire teams defense was, including Dwight. He routinely calls him one of the worst defenders in the NBA when that is literally not true.

Kobe's defense on opposing players is almost as bad as your defense of his defense.
