Either way, he's not in the top 10 for defenders. People like Corey Brewer are overlooked because they play good defense on a horrible team. |
Pay the man, Shirley.
Kobe has the ability to be a top-ten defender, and that is why he consistently wins All-Defensive awards. Granted, he often reserves his energy on defense because he does so much on offense; that is why some perceive him to be a lackluster defender. Nevertheless, if the game is competetive in the fourth quarter, Kobe plays unrestrained and is a lockdown defender. Oh, I am aware that many good defenders are overlooked; Brewer, Sefolosha, Mbah a Moute, et al. You are preaching to the choir.
