Being elected to all defensive teams is not a stat, well I guess technically it is a stat, but it is based upon subjectivity. Especially, when he was elected to these all defensive teams, the actual stats that are used to measure defense in today's NBA weren't even developed yet.




They used OPP FG% against (which is more accurate 1 on 1), but that wasn't a published stat for the public pre-internet explosion.

Tape don't lie, & it's a shame many posters here aren't old enough to recall peak Kobe locking people down on D. Seriously. Players & coaches who competed against him don't lie either when voters ask their input (sauces)...all of these factors which go into selecting all defense.

Well, did they use Diff%? Because that is a more accurate representation of how a player affects the shots that are taken against him. If a person always shoots 25% from 3, but shoots 32% from 3 versus you, that OPP FG% may look go alone (32%), but the Diff% is shite.
