POLL Who would as the better defender?

[CitySushi]

But also…give me the guy who isn’t dead. You could totally take Kobe off the dribble right now.

It is obviously Kobe because of what @CitySushi said. He didn't pick and choose when he wanted to defend and turn it up a bit. Im going to go with the guy who defended from opening tip over the guy who only really defended well late in games

I wasn’t talking about them. I was talking about LeBron

I'm using your own logic against you.

Lol @ @DJ for facepalming posts without actually giving his reasoning.

Also lol @ creating an 'equal' option in a 'Pick between two' poll.

I see logic is failing you today. Why don't you go eat something - the lack of sustenance is clearly affecting your reasoning

Because it's debatable and I originally said it's a wash....LOL.

Why?

Use your words, little buddy.

Sure. If you call "triggered" calling out an attention seeking wannabe know-it-all.

Have you had that snickers bar yet?

No you aren’t. Of all the names you provided only one guy is switchable and can guard all 5 positions. It’s LeBron. That’s why for me he’s the better defender.

So who is regarded as the better defender in general: Dikembe or Lebron?

By using your logic, you're favoring a player who was pretty good at defending 5 positions over someone who was AMAZING at guarding 2 or 3

Give me the guy who didn't take days off.

You're the know it all saying it's obvious and not close.

LOL.

There wasn't a time when Lebron could shut down quick guards.

Mutombo because he’s the Big and basketball has always for some reason extolled the defense of bigs over wings.

I don’t think Kobe was “amazing” at covering 2s and 3s. I think he was an above average defender. I think because he’s dead people are now saying that his defense is AMAZING. I never thought that at the time he played. I don’t think that now. People have a tendency to prop up the dead.

 

[bksballer89]

2 things can be true. Yes Lebron can guard more positions than Kobe but Kobe can still be the better defender.

Being able to guard 1 through 5 doesn't automatically make you the better defender

 

[shopson67]

LOL.

Look at your own poll. 80% say it's Kobe or even. Advantage Kobe here, in NBA defensive accolades, and in reality.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

LOL.

It's irrelevant if it's close or not. That was never the issue. You asked to pick between the two and Kobe is the answer.
