Kobe was playing defense like this while averaging 36 point per game this Nigga was INSANE !!!

To put this in perspective, Kobe led the league in scoring in (06,07) while STILL making first team all defensive. How many players have done it since then u might ask

@LeBeautiiful My Goat man idc he clears Jordan

I agree more people are starting to see the light on that debate. Kobe played better comp in a tougher era while being able to do everything MJ did with more range, better ball handling

@LeBeautiiful Kobe was a true 2-way 🥺🥺🥺

@ktrice4life TRUE 2-way

@LeBeautiiful defense is mainly about effort and kobe had an insane amount of that, he really maxed out every stat that you arent gifted at birth

@imthatguypal132 I agree I think of it like squeezing all the juice out of a orange kobe definitely maximize his skillset

@LeBeautiiful Wish there was more two way players today like bean

@LobosTequila Me too

@LeBeautiiful No, he wasn’t. To take a couple of “moments” throughout the season, going up against “premier guys” is not “was playing defense like this whole averaging 36”. The other 75 gms & 38 mpg he played he was playing average defense at best. But nice try w the couple of short clips.

Can tell you didn’t watch much ball back then lol dawg said “average” at best couldn’t be the case if he made first team all defensive
