Jeff Teague said bluntly that Kobe is not strong in defense, Pierce can beat him

Recently, former NBA player Jeff Teague talked about Kobe's defensive ability on a basketball show, but Jeff Teague raised his own doubts about Kobe's 12 selections to the All-Defensive Team, implying that such data was lucky.

Jeff Teague said that if a player has been selected once, twice or more before, they will automatically put you in the best defensive team at the end. But Kobe's 12 times were incredible. Teague said bluntly that he had played against Kobe, but he was not that defensive state at all. Maybe this was the case in the first 4 to 5 years of his career, but he would not defend like that from now on. He also suggested that fans check out the videos that Paul Pierce and others can often beat Kobe, and said that Joe Johnson also often beat Kobe. The remarks also caused widespread controversy, and fans angrily accused Jeff Teague of being a hindsight. If Kobe is still there, he would never dare to say such words.

Kobe has chosen the best defensive team 12 times throughout his career, 9 of which were the best defensive team, and he is definitely a representative player in the top offense and defense. Looking at Kobe's entire career, there may be many players who report on the offensive end, but it is indeed difficult to find that he can beat Kobe. Moreover, Kobe's peak was almost in the first 10 years of the new century, and most of his honors were won in these 10 years. It includes 5 most valuable championship trophys and two finals MVP trophys.

Kobe's form began to decline after 10 years, and after the Achilles tendon ruptured, he became an ordinary player. Jeff Teague entered the league in 2009. He was almost a rookie in the first two seasons. He didn't have much chance to play against Kobe, and Kobe would not use such a young player to play against. Moreover, the best defensive lineup of that year was selected by the coach, and it was not that the media had taken up too much factor. Therefore, Kobe's defensive ability is recognized as excellent. As for Teague's remarks, it is likely that he wants to attract some attention after retirement and can only jump to star players.

Not long ago, McGrady questioned that Kobe's partner O'Neal had won the championship, and now even Jeff Teague dares to come out and jump around. Fans also bluntly said that the NBA is really a mess. If Kobe is still there, these clown players will never dare to stand up and speak loudly.
