Sarcasm?

 

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.

Kobe is overrated on defense. Kobe is overrated period. People talk about him being better than Jordan. Really?

Kobe is not better than LeBron. Fact: Look at the Lakers prior to the Gasol trade. Garbage.

Kobe is overrated much like the rest of the Lakers.
