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.

 

It's sad how everyone forgets about Bruce Bowen, the most underrated defensive player in the game today

 

As for Kobe being overrated, that is not true at all...the man can take over the game ANY TIME HE WANTS! That's right...Kobe can rip apart another team whenever he choses to do so and it's funny how people say Lebron is better than him...last year whenever Lebron played against the top tier teams, such as the Celtics, he would score less than 15 points and would struggle a lot...Kobe was consistent in all 82 games...it is true that Lebron means more to his team than Kobe means to his...if Kobe wasn't on the Lakers, the Lakers would still be a sub .500 team, but without Lebron, the Cavs would be one of the worst teams in the league...Kobe's clutch factor is also something that no other player can come close to today...as for being better than Jordan, I don't know yet...Kobe still has a good 4-5 years under his belt and we shall see how he fares in those.
