Kobe is better than LeBron cuz of finesse, shooting,& offensive fundementals. While lebron is more athletic & a better passer. Kobe is a better all around player than Lebron. He has more skill than him
Anthony Mason is a better defender than Kobe. As is Rodman, Dumars, Pippen, Jordan, Bowen, Artest, Cooper, Payton, Alvin Robertson, Pressey, Moncrief, Kahwi Leonard, Tayshawn Prince, Xavier McDaniel, Clyde Frazier, Tony Allen, Butler, Iguadola, Deng, Sprewell, Dennis Johnson Gilbert Arenas = drop 60 on Kobe Allan Houston = drop 53 on Kobe Marbury = drop 50 on Kobe
@@comedian5264 I think he was talking more about Lebron, not who all you’ve named lol. That’s irrelevant to this post and to his point. No where did he say anything about Kobe being the great defender, he compared lebron and Kobe.
He's preserving his right hand for the daggers LOL. Kidding aside, it's fundamental to block with your left when your opponent shoots with your right. It gives you the maximum amount of reach and shortest amount of time to get to the ball. And when you land, you are still facing your opponent. Imagine blocking a right handed lay up with your right hand. You twist mid air and most likely land with your back against your opponent. Not an optimal position defensively speaking, if that opponent has regained possession.
Optimal reach, optimal angle, and least amount of time to get to that ball and swat it. Given that the majority of players are right handed, or in this video here, the majority here has shot the ball with their right hand. So lefty block it is! Also, the angle/squaring up your opponent is key. As he blocks with his left hand, he lands in a manner that he's still squared up to defend the opponent in case they regain possession. Blocking a right handed lay up with your right hand would put your back facing your opponent as you land, therefore putting you in a disadvantageous position if opponent regains position and goes for a follow up attempt.
@@williamgalloway4063 bro i'm kinda surprised you didn't catch that as part of defensive fundamentals. It's being taught to us since late 80's to early 90's as part of varsity basketball training. We weren't champs or anything, heck I'm no exceptional player, but I played from grade school til senior high school and represented for several years straight up. We were kids then, but it's pretty obvious we remember the proper fundamentals til today. It was all part of the beauty of playing and understanding the game. Fast forward now you got internet, you can google that instead of hearing it from your coach or getting yelled at for not paying attention to the nuances of the game. So yeah maybe I think too much, I'll take that as a compliment. I prefer to think that's part of the game too... hence we got a thing called "basketball IQ?!?!"
Fundamental. Most players shoot with their right. Using your left hand to block gives you more reach, if not better angle, and puts your body square up against your opponent. Going with your right hand, you go off angle. More chances of initiating contact therefore a foul. And in the event your opponent still gets the ball, you're too off angle to go for another block. Blocking with your left hand keeps you squared up, even as you land you're still in a dominant position to guard your opponent. Well, that's the fundamental, but of course it's not absolute. But by seeing how Kobe maximized it here, it would be wise to follow the same habit. Be a lefty blocker.
What's good about kobe is that he doesn't care if he gets posterized, he cares about the win

that block on Ray allen was sick. like a volleyball spike.
Kobe has awesome hops over the back square of back board ..
TWO WORDS, "LEFT HAND"!

The way Kobe avoided the foul on MJ in the All-Star game is amazing. R.I.P. Kobe.

When Shaq was with Phoenix Kobe blocked him. The refs called it a goaltend. But it was clearly a clean block
These are true blocks not chasing them down from behind.
The 900th like, is mine :)
good job, we dont chase down we just block dunks 10 of them.

True
But who is a better defensive player because lebron is a good at D
whysoserious09 Lebron is a good defender but Kobe was a better onball defender while Lebron was a better help defender

Shout out to the cameraman that took one for the team.
at 3:46 the guy at top right is like oh my god hes gonna dunk
kobe: rejected young blood
no, he's good at left hand, when two people facing each other, the left hand has more shorter distance to right hand shooters.

@@rixtervidz you’re absolutely right bro
Yao is just tall, he is slow and his movements are very predictable! Good job at Kobe R.I.P
I prefer those interesting commentaries before 2010 where commentators use their imagination and predict what players are saying
Why he uses his left hand to block when he was a right handed? Can someone explain it to me?
That's because most players are shooting from their right side so it would make sense to contest with the left hand.
Have you ever played basketball? I’m left handed, but what does that have to do with my right hand making an defensive play?
He blocked a 7'5 Yao ming!?!?!3 times crazy!?
Blocking Jordan and Lebron twice
left hand for the win haha
Lol
Ouch....
Who was the last one on it was nasty
poor yao ming he got the most abuse followed by kevin garnett and jason kidd and that poor camera guy
He often blocked with the left 🤔🤚👍
Deron Williams! Eat some! :D
T Mac, Carmelo, KD 😂😂😂 all blocked by the goat
