how to stop kobe bryant?

Question

how can one stop him from scoring he scores like mad this week

Answer 1

Kobe Bryant is not your average basketball player anymore. He hasn't been "average" since he was 21 years old. Right now, if the history of the greatest players were a tall skyscraper, Kobe would be in that floor right below Michael Jordan and he would be floors and floors and floors above everyother player playing right TODAY and perhaps in history.

But he's stalled. Once he starts to win championships again he would be taking that floor up to be in company with the greatest. That's how good he is. You can't stop him defensively. The best thing you can do is hope he's having a bad day and shoots poorly because he's getting his shot off anyway.

The three top defenders against Kobe are Bowen, Artest, and Bell and Kobe has tore them apart moe than regularly.

I think the best "Kobe stopper" if you will is Tayshaun Prince and how ironic that he plays for the Pistons. Jordan's best defender also played for the Pistons...

Answer 2

To the Nowitzki fan guy...
Last I remember, Kobe scored 50+ points against the Suns twice last year. And once against the Mavericks in 2005. And now that Phil Jackson has given him complete offensive freedom I'm sure Kobe can score close to 50 against both the suns and the mavericks. The only thing thats really going to stop Kobe is Kobe. If he has a bad night then he might only score 35-40. Oh and, when is the last time Nowitzki scored 81 against anybody??

Answer 3

Kobe is a scoring machine. He is the main man of a young Lakers team. Many people call him a ball hog, but I think he is not. He is averaging more assists than Tony Parker at 5.5 per game. He is complete. Not only that, he is defensively sound as well.
In order to stop Kobe from scoring, you have very little chance if you're going solo. He can attack the basket and throw it down,\, shoot from behind the arc when he is open, and has a phenomenal mid-range game. If you smother him, he'll draw the foul and get 2 easy shots from the charity stripe. Even if you do manage to keep Kobe in check, he will dish the ball to the open man. When going against Kobe, you're going to have a rough night either way.

Answer 4

How to stop Kobe? Well a few teams have tried there best to "limit Kobe", no team can really stop him. The only way to really limit him is to force him into tough shots and hope he has a bad shooting night. The best way to accomplish this seems to be to run two to three guys at him every time he touches the ball and force him to pass it off or to through up a tough shot. The object has to be to let the rest of the team beat you, kobe will get his but he cant beat you alone. So i would have to say that, that is the only way you can stop him..... or you can hire a hitman to club him on the knee. You can play him like bruce bowen and put your foot undereth Kobe everytime he shots the ball hopeing that he rolls his ankle. ;)

Answer 5

You cant it is impossible. You can build a 1x1x30 foot wall around him and he will still score. His stoke is too smooth. But it is impossible to stop a guy who take 50 - 60 shots a game as well. Take his knees out but he might get 20 points from on the bench.

Answer 6

i think of Michael Jordan will win on a nail biter. Michael & Kobe are the two astonishing ten gamers of all time. the ingredient is Jordan is grasp. Kobe isn't that grasp. additionally, Jordan on no account had to play basketball he had to baseball. additionally, who has a statue exterior of the stadium. Jordan. Jordan performed with plenty harder men and with relatively much less technical. call a super shooting or element shelter which could end Jordan. merely placed any guy on Kobe and he will purely score twenty.

Answer 7

THAT"S HOW YOU STOP KOBE ......BY WINNING @ HIM and HIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

on offense, when he comes to defend you, jerk your arm back and smack him in the nose as you take your shot and try to draw the foul. sound familiar?? =) haha im kidding im a kobe fan. there's no stopping that man... when he wants something, he'll take matters into his own hands. kobe for mvp!

Answer 9

Pay off Stu Jackson to review every tape in the Lakers' recent season to "look" for potential suspensions.

Answer 10

I think the easiest way to stop him is to entice him with a cheap shot, perhaps wait until he is going to shoot the ball and call him names so he might punch you on accident
