Rearrange the top ten defensive masters in history, how many Kobe Bryant can rank?

It can be ranked 8-10. Although Kobe Bryant has excellent defensive ability, he needs to maintain his physical strength on the offensive end, and he is slightly inferior defensively.

Kobe Bryant can only be ranked 10th, because in the course of historical development, there are many players who have very good defensive ability, such as Garnett, Duncan, etc., and they have performed very well.

I think Kobe Bryant can at least be in the top 5 or even the top 3. Aside from Jordan and Leonard, the two defensive gurus, no player can confidently say that his defensive ability is stronger than Kobe.

Kobe Bryant is ranked 10th, he is a good basketball player, he does a good job both offensively and defensively, and he is outstanding.

Because Kobe Bryant is very good on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and he can successfully predict the opponent's offensive position and react before the opponent, he can defend the opponent many times.

Personally, I think the best defense is offense, and Kobe Bryant has a top offense, so he will have top defense.

Because he usually practices defense, he is in good physical condition, and he has a fast reaction speed, which is helpful for defense, and it is also a natural advantage, plus later practice.

The reason why Kobe Bryant is the closest person to Jordan is because they are equally good on the defensive end in addition to the offensive means that they can't solve, and they are all top scoring guards. In his 15-year career, Jordan was named to the All-Defensive Team nine times, and all once, enough to rank first in NBA history. And Kobe, who is also a guard, was selected to the All-Defensive Team 12 times in his 20-year career, including 9 times tied with Jordan, Garnett, and Gary Payton for the all-time first.

Kobe Bryant's offensive performance may be more remembered by fans, but he is an extremely proud defender at heart, and even in an entertaining arena like the All-Star, Kobe Bryant will take the initiative to volunteer to defend James. Kobe Bryant's efforts on the defensive end are undeniable, but unfortunately Kobe Bryant has been named to the All-Defensive Team nine times and has never won a Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) once. The other three nine-time Defensive Player of the Year stars all won the Defensive Player of the Year award, with Bryant being the only one who didn't.

Bryant was named the All-Defensive Player 9 times in 99-00, 02-04, 05-11. The players who defended the best in those nine seasons were: Alonzo Mourning, Ben Wallace, Artest, Ben Wallace, Camby, Garnett and Howard (three in a row).

It can be seen that in Kobe's career, it is easier for center players to get the best defensive players, and the only one who is not a center is Artest in 03-04, so it is related to the era when Kobe Bryant did not get the best defensive players.

Many fans are also indignant about Kobe, saying that Kobe Bryant has been selected for the best defensive team several times and tied for the first place in history, but the absence of DPOY is an insult to the best defensive team. However, fans should know that Duncan, who was selected to the All-Defensive Team eight times, did not win the DPOY, and Bruce Bowen, the starting guard, did not win the DPOY. Bryant was named to the All-Defensive Team in nine seasons, and only two seasons received more than 3% of the vote, the lowest number of votes in the last 20 years at the DPOY.

Kobe Bryant is an outside player, and the DPOY award originally focused on the interior player, because the rebounds and blocks of the interior player are more likely to reflect the player's defensive value, so Kobe Bryant does not fit.

Kobe Bryant focuses on team spirit, and his usual training is mainly teamwork, so he only won the best defensive team.

Because it didn't reach the level, the best team was selected for three teams, each with five players, and the best defensive player was selected for one person in the league.

How difficult it is for a guard to get the best defensive player, there are only 5 people in history, and the defensive master Kobe

The honor of the best defensive player has been 35 years since 1982, but most of the players who have won this honor are interior players, and the center position has been won 21 times, and in the 20 years since 1997, no guard has won this title, not even Kobe Bryant and Paul have not won the title of defensive masters, and in the entire NBA history, only 5 guards have won the title of best defensive player, or before 1997, and the defensive intensity at that time may be different.
