Ok kids. Quick lesson: the media pushes narratives THAT CUSTOMERS WANT TO HEAR.

Kobe is retired. Why the hell would they market a fading star, which would alienate their core market: Lebron fans/haters? Of course they are going to prop up Lebron because that's what the readers want.

Lebron is a great player on his own merit, but if you think modern media outlets are the pinnacle of journalistic integrity whose narratives should guide your perspective, I don't know what to tell you. Hence, why I laid out statistical facts & video evidence for the eyes to see

This is quite literally one of the reasons that most NBA fans will tell you that Kobe's All Defense accolades you mentioned are pretty darn overrated.

But you already know that, i assume.

Wrong again Shel. Like I posted:

quote:
The All-Defensive Team is generally composed of two five-man lineups, a first and a second team, comprising a total of 10 roster spots. Voting is conducted by a panel of 123 writers and broadcasters.[1] Prior to the 2013–14 NBA season, voting was performed by the NBA head coaches, who were restricted from voting for players on their own team.

Coaches who watched tape on & game planned for Kobe voted for him all-defense first team. What motivation would coaches have to lie? The tape speaks for itself, although you probably wouldn't watch 5 minutes of Kobe's defensive highlights.

You'd likely prefer to read a 5 minute article that confirms your biases instead of challenging them.
