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.

 

Yes, a long list composed of players you think are better than Kobe on defense. However, I never stated Kobe was a top-ten defender; I am confused as to why you are refuting something I did not state. I said he had the ability to be a top-ten defender, and that he was when he focused his energy on that end-such as the end of games. Yes, I agree Kobe is currently (slightly) overrated on defense. Understandably, he now has to reserve himself on defense to remain fresh on offense. However, Kobe is not overrated period. His place in history is commensurate with his accomplishments. He is a prolific scorer and a good defender. He deserves the praise he receives.

I was just listing some players with defensive recognition. 

Kobe is overrated. People have him in discussions against Jordan. Jordan is in a totally different league. Look at the guys accomplishments. Kobe's time is running out. When, and how will he get his DPOY? Where's the other 5 MVP trophies? And where's that other olympic ring?  Stats don't help Kobe in any way in this debate either.
