Perhaps someone from the 2nd team who played 95% of the games.
I don't watch the Celtics a lot, I won't pretend to. So what I'm basically asking is, was his defense so good that he made the first team by only playing in 70% of the games?
kobe fan signing in right here, and i agree whole heartedly. sorry, but leaving someone wide open, daring them to shoot just because you thinkthey can't does not mean it is good defense.Originally Posted by I NaSmatic I
Kobe still getting Defensive team honors off reputation.
if you watch every Lakers game like I do, you would see what Kobe does defensively. Just because he doesn't lead the league in steals orblocks (CP3 and Dwight), or make Sportcenter every night with a highlight weak-side block (Lebron) doesnt mean he isn't a great defender.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh

Kobe gets his hands on a lot of balls (pause), his deflections and his ability to really make the best perimeter player on the other team work very hard in the 4th quarter of close games is what sets him apart.
When the game is on the line, he really gets in your grill and locks you down. Obviously he has lost a step and isn't the defender he once was, but considered how much he is relied upon on offense and how much energy he uses on offense, his defensive ability is AMAZING.
OP change the damn thread title to All-Defensive Team 2009Originally Posted by WILLINC
If DWADE is not first team. 100 + blocks and 100 + steals
