Name a great player's toughest defender.

[Tarik One]

Players who have had success defending, neutralizing or flat out shutting down great players, or at least great offensive players.

Tim Duncan <<<<<<< Rasheed Wallace. Certain people will say "Sheed wasn't half the defender KG was.". That may be true, but nobody gave TD fits like Sheed did, no question.

T-Mac <<<<< KG

[MichaelCorleone]

Michael Jordan <<<< Gary Payton

[Uncle Drew]

Bran < Diaw

[JohnFreeman]

Bran < Diaw
Original.

LeBron on Rose

[Rocketswin2013]

Lebron <<<<<<<<< Marion

[Akrazotile]

Well nobody could actually stop Shaq, but the one guy who was able to at least limit him pretty consistently was Kobe

[FKAri]

Ruben Patterson; Kobe stopper.

[JohnFreeman]

Kobes legs

[215Philly]

Dwight Perk

[Crystallas]

Ben Wallace was Shaq's toughest defender. Those were some good games.

[97 bulls]

Scottie Pippen shut down Magic in 91. Ive never him that flustered.

[JT123]

Kobe <<<<< Jason Kidd
Don't believe me, just look at the box score for games 3 and 4 of the 2011 WCSFs. Kidd held Kobe to back to back 17 point games. :lol

kobe = every guy hes ever faced till kobe hears about it


i think hes had like 1000 self proclaimed kobe stoppers


then he goes off for 40 on them 2-3 times after that and it becomes someone else


if i had to choose the 1 guy who gave him the most problems.. i'd say prime teyshaun prince..

he really did a great job on kobe in the 2004 finals... every other guy from patterson to bowen to bell to artest to battier have all been sh*ted on the very next game.

kobe had no answer for teyshaun till maybe a year later... but for those 5 games he did a great job


ofcourse the team defense was legendary and the help defenders collapsed on him. but usually kobe easly gets by whoevers infront of him...

teyshaun was too good with his feet and too long

then kobe routinely beasted on him every year after that.. so whatever

One leg my ass. He just said that to make an excuse for his epic failure. Also, didn't Bron shoot 47 percent against the Mavs for the series?
