Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
LeBron. Just too physically gifted, Kobe has always had relatively average athleticism.

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
Kobe was 1st Team 9 times (3-4 too many).
I would only have put Lebron 1st Team once...maybe twice.
Kobe is a better man defender. Lebron is more a playmaker. The way Lebron is right now, it's hard to say...I think I'll go with Kobe right now...02/03 and 07/08 are the seasons that really stand out. Lebron right now is a legit DPOTY.

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
Even though kobe has 9 all defense selections,he have never had the impact lebron is having on the defensive side.Kobe's defensive impact have not been beyond his individual defense.
In terms of impact lebron is miles ahead,dont forget lebron can virtually guard and more importantly locks down any player especially in 4th quarters.Lebron has been nominated for DPOY for second time and he has a very strong case for it
Kobe,even with all defensive selections which i have never understood seeing lakers havent been top 5 defensively for 12 straight years,has no case at all over lebron in his prime of course

Kobe is the most overrated defender of all time. he had maybe 2-3 years of being worthy of being on the all defensive team.

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
I can honestly say that at times I feel like Kobe is placed on the All-Defensive 1st Team simply because of his name and not because of his defense. Don't get me wrong here. Kobe is a great defensive player, but he's probably been an All-Defensive 1st Team player a handful of times in his career. More of a 2nd Team guy imo.
I think LeBron is the better defender simply because his height can, does and will ward off offensive players a bit, making them rethink their shots, rethink driving into the lane, rethink passing the ball anywhere in the lanes.

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
Anyway this is not a thread worthy.I dont think anyone will disagree on who is better
When we talk about lebron we are comparing him to centers in terms of defense.This should tell you how good he really is

I don't know, but he found a way to pull it off.
Anyway, it's Kobe and I don't think it's even that close. Prime Kobe was a complete lockdown defender. Honestly one of the best perimeter defenders I have ever seen.

OK he is postin bullshit but what do you think you are posting.Lebron is not a complete lockdown defender???
Rose is the most explosive player in the leageu.ISH had a poll on this one.Rose couldnt even score on him.Lebron can do this while locking down gasol(according to ISH most skilled big in entire league) who is easily 5 inches taller than lebron.
Lebron one on one defense is very underrated.You really think kobe would be able to lock down rose or any player lebron defends better than bron
Now thats very interesting that you can post 5000 posting bullshit

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
Lebron because of his overall impact, however prime Kobe could lock down his man better than Lebron.

Re: Better defender in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
How is this even questionable. Lebron.
