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.

I was referring to Dikembe as AMAZING, not Kobe.

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.
It is relevant when you called me the know it all and you said it's Kobe and it's not close......that would make you the know it all......

Too easy, LOL.

Dude, you asked for people's opinions than blast then only accept those that agree with you. This thread is just a trolling attempt...

In this case I clearly know more than you, as you're struggling to grasp this concept pretty hard.

And you STILL haven't given an answer to your reasoning. You seem to do that a lot - randomly blurt something out and then stop answering.

Again, eat your candy bar and come back when you can use a little logic.

I already said in other thread....he can guard the post....not to mention all 5 positions unlike Kobe who is limited to guarding PG, SG and SF.

So Tatum is a better defender than Kobe as well?

Oh, my bad.

I though the question was, who is the better defender, not who can guard all positions better.

Part of being the better defender is being more versatile....

But, like I originally said it's a wash. They were both great.

So is Lebron better than Gary Payton?

Because I didn't see The Glove handle the big men of his era.

They have these things called all defensive teams that get voted on every single year.

Just no argument to be had since one of them has the 2nd most all time all defensive 1st teams. That doesn’t even let the argument get started in my opinion.
