Kobe said Iguodala was the best defender in the league

[iamgine]

Iguodala: "The only reason I made the Olympic team in 2012 was because Kobe told them I was the best defender in the league period"


Iggy's resume at that point:

- 1 all-defensive 2nd team



Was Kobe stupid or something?

[Im Still Ballin]

I don't know. I'm not sure.

[RRR3]

Iggy saying it isn’t proof Kobe said it lol

[SouBeachTalents]

Players obv flip flop all the time, but Kobe called Tony Allen the toughest defender he ever faced. There’s at least documented proof of that.

[tpols]

Media awards don't really define reality. It's a popularity contest with a ton of politics involved. Iggy probably wasn't better than some of the center types like Noah or Marc Gasol, but he's one of the best SF defenders ever and clearly a great defender. Isn't stupid to point that out.
