HOW THE HELL DID KOBE MAKE THE ALL DEFENSIVE 1ST TEAM?
Everyone was paying attention to his offense (including myself). He can play D, VERY good D. You rarely see dudes pour 20 or 30 on him. He is not a defensive specialist, but he does not give up easy buckets.
Besides, what other notable guards play D?
This is really a testament as to how much of the load he's carrying.
Im not feelin your answer.
Im not comparing him to any other guards. Im lookin at his individual D.
He's on the same team as Bruce Bowen? If Artest was coherent maybe Bowen would get moved to that slot.
But WTF. Playing above average D isnt the same as The Glove/Rodman/Artest/Jabbar/Eaton/Jordan D.
He plays good D, I've watched enough Laker games.
Once again, who in the league plays D?
I can name maybe Gerald Wallace and Shane Battier at his position....Artest was mediocre this season all-around.
Kobe's defense is not spectacular. Sure he can get the spectacular left-handed transition block on a fool, but defense is much more than that. The numbers probably will not lie in this case.

Spectacular as in "My primary role is to shoot the open three and play D" or "Block Party" or "my flop game is tight". His D is not spectacular in that sense, he just plays some fundamentally-sound D that goes unnoticed (apparently not by insiders though). Let's not base our opinions on impressions, yaoming?
No I don't flop, but I will most likely lock you down and WORK YOU. Best believe. Come to Veteran Park or Mar Vista Park and you will straight get up worked and sonned to the max.

So when we getting an All-Soulstrut Nerdfest Charity Game going?
You obviously don't touch balls on the regular. Or throw strong chest passes. Or go Backdoor.

LEBRON WAS FOULDED. His arm was held down. You can't shoot with someone holding your arm down. He wasn't hacked but he was fouled. They shouldn't have been in that position though.
THE REFS REALLY FUCKED UP THIS GAME FOR THE CAVS THERE. THEY SHOULD BE FINED FOR LETTING BIASES GET TO THEIR HEADz THAT "DETROIT PLAYS GREAT D" OR WHATEVER.
all caps is a classy look that all real "ballas" eventually adopt
Bitch do you want to talk about basketball or childrens toys?! That's right fool, "This is not a game, this is war straight up. And I need soldiers." - Half-man Half -Amazing. Peace.
OKAY, NOW YOU'RE TAKING IT OVERBOARD. SHEED IS BASICALLY A LOSER WITH A DREAM. IF HE WERE NOT ON THE PISTONS, HE WOULD BASICALLY BE TIM THOMAS WITH AN ANGER MANAGEMENT PROBLEM.

Forget being a passenger I'm driving the
bron bron stif armed rip before they got tangled. it was an agressive play, but i think it was a good no call... mind you the cavs had 3 shot attempts and still effed it up.
Cavs fans step up.... you think the king would have made both of those free throws if he had the chance?
re: sheed foul'd varejao. he def got away with murder.

His dream is to be a winner in the NBA. He has realised that dream and is acchieving it again as we speak.
