Bulls quintuple coverage on Kobe.....

[9erempiree]

Thibs is a defensive mastermind and he sent the house at Kobe.

Last night the Bulls sent single coverage at Lebron.

Has the Bulls philosophy changed or they play according to superstar?

After tonight I have an appreciation for Kobe and a little insight on how teams view each player.

When Lebron drives, defenders have to stay home because they know if a shooter is left open he will get the ball and get a high percentage look.

When Kobe drives, this is not a concern. Thus the difference.

look at all those open shooters at the 3 point line that Kobe doesn't pass to.

:eek:

the thing i'l never understand is how people applaud lebrons style and hate on kobes


yet the results tell a different story


lebrons style hurts his team. he turns everyone into a 3 point shooting role player and wants to dominate every play whether it be with a layup, a 3 pointer, or an assist

kobe on the other hand will take over individually. but at the same time he'l let others do what best fits their strengths

he puts others in a position to succeed by letting them be themselves.

lebron wants everyone to fit his stat padding agenda




which is why kobes teammates play better with him and win 5 out of 7 times


and also why lebrons teammates play worse with him and win 2 out of 6 times




sometimes an assist can be selfish... if its not within the true flow of a game

Collapsing on a driver is not the same as quintuple coverage. Let us know when 4 guard him at the 3 or before he receives the ball in post up position.

kobe is one of the few guys dumb enough to still chuck one up in that situation

they do the same thing to jr smith. Talent has nothing to do with it.

to be fair. kobes the only guy to ever do it and be successful


he has a green light because hes earned it
