[Lou Williams] One time we played Steph Curry. Kobe said I found it! I found it! Curry don’t like people on his side. He can shoot with people in front of him. He can shoot with people behind him. He don’t like people beside him. He shut Curry down in the 2nd half. After that I was a believer.

Side fucker
I love hearing former players tell Kobe stories.
This reminds me of Kobe talking about how he had his first 60 point game or whatever when he was 8 years old lmao
During that game the Warriors as a team shot 4/30 from 3 lol
this reminds me of an article about the season kobe tore his achilles and how he spent so much time going over film to find advantages against their opponents (and didn’t sleep enough, probably)
Kobe will always be in my top 3.
But… but Kobe was an overrated and bad defender!
The Bucks tried the he same thing with prime Houston Harden. I believe Eric Bledsoe started guarding him from the side and some times even from behind and Harden really struggled against us. Google Eric Bldesoe BEHIND THE BACK defense on James Harden to watch it.
So that means no one else has figured out to slightly be to curry’s side this whole time? Not one single coach or player has ever tried that since?
Knuckleheads is my favorite podcast right now. Just listened to Andre Miller. Great to hear all the old stories.
He’s right. Kobe always locked Curry down but not the other way around
2003
Why does this comment section suck so bad Jfc
“But prior to that, I wasn’t too sure about the 5x champ 18x all star 9 time defensive first team kobe bryant. I had my doubts. But seeing him shut down a young steph and will Barton, that was when I knew.”
exactly how i play PGs in 2K. let the Kobe comps begin
Some people forget: 9x all defense first team, 3x second team.
