You can't actually believe this. :oldlol: Jordan simply attacked right as KG was digging in and caught him on his heels and got a step on him.

I love how Kobe's only highlight blocks are always in meaningless all-star games :lol :lol :lol

This is it. He hates MJ it's sick really.

[GrapeApe]

Every great defender gets beat and has moments where they look bad. Conversely, terrible defenders make the occasional great defensive play. I'm not sure what OP's point is.

Kobe's defense was good in that clip, and he was 19 years old. KG is a PF guarding Jordan on the perimeter. That says more about Garnett's defensive versatility than anything, despite Jordan making the shot.

[Horatio33]

Nobody ever scored a point while being guarded by Michael Jordan

Not true - I've shown 4 gifs for Kobe, 4 for KG, 3 for Rodman, and 3 for Marion.

Allen Iverson on crossing Jordan:



"But the craziest thing about it, was that I hit him with my best move.... and he STILL almost blocked it... (laughs embarassingly)... That was so crazy about it.. That's just lets you know how great of a defensive player he was."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLhI9cgsO4c&t=0m40s


Jordan kept Iverson in front of him - Iverson couldn't blow by Jordan the way Jordan blew by all the 1st team defenders shown previously itt (Garnett, Kobe, Bruce Bowen, etc.)
.

[GrapeApe]

http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2mi5v.gif

Embarrassing. I used to think Jordan was a good defender, but that gif clearly demonstrates that he was terrible defensively.

The gif shows that Iverson couldn't get past MJ and had to settle for low-quality jumper that almost got blocked.

Otoh, MJ frequently blew by first team, all-nba defenders and got all the way to the rim, even if there were 3 guys jumping with him:

Um, no. Iverson blew right by him. The only reason he shot the pull up is because Pippen was right there to help. Jordan bit HARD on the crossover and couldn't stay in front of him. Iverson had him swiping at air.

[3ball]

Embarrassing. I used to think Jordan was a good defender, but that gif clearly demonstrates that he was terrible defensively.



The Iverson gif shows that MJ doesn't let guys get by him, no matter how quick.. Otoh, look at Pippen - he can't stay in front of Grant Hill:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-09-2015/5FXjSn.gif



But MJ can - he stays in front of Grant every step of the way and forces wild shot:

Yet Iverson blew right by Jordan and it was Pippen that had to cut him off. In fact, Pippen's great help defense in that clip clearly demonstrates that he was a much better help defender than Jordan. I used to hold them in about an equal defensive regard, but now I have to rank Pippen ahead of Jordan.

Look how empty that fvckin lane is in that first gif though. I thought that shit only happened in this era.

.
Pippen couldn't handle quick wings with good handle like Hill or Kobe:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-10-2015/NZrhCv.gif



Here's Kobe shaking his head after breaking Pippen BADLY in 99' - Pippen is joke to him:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-10-2015/DtKoPr.gif..



But just months earlier, Jordan had no problem stuffing Kobe's crossover in 98' ASG:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-10-2015/EStPHq.gif


The reason MJ was so much better defending quick ballhandlers like Hill, Kobe or Westbrook is because he was a 2-guard, and was frequently the primary, all-game defender on quick point guards.

For example, MJ was matched up against Gary Payton from the TIP-OFF in Game 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meL62CUehuw&t=0m48s) and Game 5 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFiqeJcgXfg) of the NBA Finals and was the main defender throughout the game.. MJ was also the main defender and matched up from the tip-off against Isiah Thomas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9MfhFFE7fc&t=0m28s) and Rod Strickland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3JqY3CECW8), while also shuttting down John Stockton (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOuMwmXtgd0) and Kevin Johnson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K2rBgOqGCw)..

And we all know he was matched up from tip-off against Magic, when he guarded Magic for 14 of 20 quarters (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11713075&postcount=45) (70%) in the 1991 Finals.

MJ's far greater experience playing quick ballhandling guards and his superior athleticism made him a better perimeter defender than Pippen..

Lebron choked in the clutch against Duncan/Popovich and missed the walk-off attempt - he needed Ray Allen to save him:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-05-2015/XxRuyC.gif



Otoh, Jordan MADE his walk-off attempt in his first meeting against Duncan/Popovich to send the game into overtime:


http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/10-05-2015/rP-QUs.gif



After hitting the walk-off, MJ dominated overtime, including 2 dunks over Duncan:


http://i.imgur.com/9XnfRmS.gif



In his 2nd meeting against Duncan, MJ dominated Duncan even more thoroughly:

Garnett was All-NBA in 2002 and MJ destroyed him OVER AND OVER in their first meeting when MJ was a Wizard - they were both matched up at SF the whole game.

Jordan destroyed him - he had 35 points, including 6-11 (55%) for 14 points on KG - compare that to Lebron's 9 ppg average vs. Iggy in the Finals, on 35% shooting..

At times it got embarrassing for KG, as MJ would score on him literally 5 possessions in a row (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=embqhggoep4&t=4m00s) - even the hometown announcers had to capitulate.

Kevin Garnett was First Team All-Defense at small forward in 2002, alongside Tim Duncan and Ben Wallace, Gary Payton and Kidd.

And the 39-year old MJ destroyed him SF vs. SF - he scored 14 points on Garnett, on 6-11 (55%).. 35/6/4 overall...

True guard speed (which MJ possessed in spades, arguably the GOAT first step for a guy his size or larger; also GOAT level lateral quickness, but this thread isn't about MJ's defense) obviously is a tremendous asset. Huge boon to have the ability to create separation without the need of a screen for assistance..
