I give my props to Russy off top, but Bean has been terrorizing nikkas on D. I always said that he could be DPOY if the offense didn't depend so much on his scoring. It can't be fun playing against him in these games.

But some people would have me believe that he can't play D no more, pbbbbfffff!!!!

:what:

He's not even guarding anybody that could make Kentucky's starting 5! And when he does, he's been beaten off the dribble or backdoored on cuts to the hoop. He's legit on D, but these games are not a measuring stick by no means.

Kobe held prime AI to 0 points in the 2nd half. He is one of the best man to man defenders of this generation

And here come the lies. You just thought this shyt was gone fly too. He guarded Barbosa, Nocioni, and Manu. And you could say Manu hit a couple of 3's on him, but this taking him off the dribble is ducktales. Cuz everytime Kobe D'd him up off the dribble Many would flop and get the call. But I can tell by the Kentucky starting 5 shyt that you haven't watched the games.

Kobe plays excellent defense and if you watched the games his man HARDLY scored on him. They score off of pick and roll and back picks. All praise is due but people won't give uh because it's Kobe.

Shut up Malc!!

Early 2000s Kobe was good...then he lived on his reputation as a good defender.
