Coaches like phil jackson who said kobe couldn't play defense

[G0ATbe]

I guess the guys that do the selecting were using the eye test instead of their calculators. He's the greatest perimeter defender of all time. There's not a calculation in the world that's going to change that stat nerd.

Fisher>> Artest

Fisher was negative all the time

[AirBourne92]

the last few was definitely based off his reputation.

in his prime though when he was stuck with garbage teams, he was roaming a lot more and gambling because he had such an offensive weight to carry. he literally did everything, score, space, control tempo etc

he was still an excellent gambler, but those habits sort of carried over later on.

3 peat kobe was a monster however

The last 5 he got were an absolute joke outside of 2009.

That's what happens when you let coaches get a vote, and they undoubtedly hand it off to some assistant to do.

Thats what I would say for lebron. It's an absolute abomination that he was allowed to ever make the defensive team when he was an above average at best defender at his position.

Fisher was negative all the time

Yet the stat you use says he's a better defender than Artest. Also says that Luke Walton was a better defender than Kobe (and Ariza and a bunch of other guys).

You're an idiot.

[G-train]

TBH he didn't have that much competition most of the time.

No it doesn't it says fisher is worse. Yeah i'm not surprised about walton>> Kobe on defense, but it doesn't say he's better than ariza

[Shih508]

Because of David Stern.
