Did any of you WATCH Kobe play D in his prime?

Or all you have is meaningless numbers that completely ignore his first 6 years in the league without zone defense? You know, the seasons where your "numbers" can't analyze.

Seems pretty disingenuous excluding 6 years of his prime just to "win" a subjective discussion...

Yes. I'm the same age as you. You can save the "back in my day" nonsense.

I did. Kobe was a damn good defender but not as versatile as LBJ. Also if LBJ played in the Era of no zone defense he likely doesn't lose to the Mavs in that finals. Just food for thought.
