Can you recall specific instances where Kobe made a defensive impact in the playoffs?

I mean in a good way, obviously.


For instance LeLockdown memorably tightened the screws on MVP Rose, FMVP Pierce, FMVP Parker, All-star Paul George, and solidified his very own GOAT status with a series-clinching block on Iguodala.

What are some times when Kobe played memorable defense in the playoffs?*



*Locking up guys like Raja Bell, Anthony Carter and Rajon Rondo doesnt count for the purposes of this thread.

What about against good players?Defense is not just a 1 on 1 thing and Kobe didn't face alot other great scoring guards in the playoffs.

Interestingly enough, Lebron got rinsed by Pierce in the closing moments of the defining game of the 2008 ECSF. Pierce went off on him in game 7 and hit all the clutch shots while Lebron withered.
