Popovich: "There is No Defense for Kobe"

[JohnnyMax]

Despite his respect for Bryant, Popovich expressed relief in not having to face Bryant again. He called preparing for the 18-time All-Star “a lot scarier” than vice-versa, saying “there’s really no defense” for his ability to rise up for a jumper over any type of coverage thrown at him.

“The final fear was, even if we did that, he’s gonna rise up and still get that shot off,” Popovich said. “And he did that against a lot of people, including us many times.”

Is this the same guy as the Benoit account?

[Otaku]

Ofc there's no defense. You just leave the guy alone and he will brick shot after shot.

You mean the ones who didn't show up after the beat down Lollard put on them?

Notice pop said getting the shots off. Not about making them.

Shaq and MVPau made the rest. Despite pop designing the defense against them.

Sure did. Much easier to score against Steve smith when shaq is doubled down low.

lol @ he.

The LA Kobes.

[DMC]

lol @ he.

The LA Kobes.
Expect a mass exodus to the Warriors for a large portion of the Lakers more recent fan base after this season. These types need some player to worship. They don't have the aptitude or attention span to learn the game and appreciate it.

lol @ he.

The LA Kobes.

Can't go head to head when the LA Kobes keeps missing the playoffs.

[whitemamba]

Sure did. Much easier to score against Steve smith when shaq is doubled down low.

stings huh? god I love that.

[ambchang]

stings huh? god I love that.

The Spurs losing always stings. Nothing to do with the player though.

[DMC]

There's no defense for 12

[lefty]
