Kobe had trouble with the Zone . It took him 3 quarters but he figured it out. Remember Kobe didn't go to college where its the predominant defense so knowing how to play against it was something he had to figure out. NO quit in Kobe he's a warrior plain and simple. This isn't about TMac or anybody else. This is just about Kobe and his incredible will to win. Kobe just doesn't ever hang his head never, the thing that impressed me the most was his defense on Nash and Van excel when he switched. I like Kobe to guard the smaller guys he can stay with them but even when they get by him he can recover because Shaq is back and affect Nash's fallaway shots. Kobe when switched on the pg's whether it be Nash, Bibby whomever, makes it hard on them with his length,plus the refs give him the benefit of some calls that Fisher just doesn't get. TMac's never able to make that switch effectively as witnessed by Baron ripping him in last years playoffs. Kobe's just more versatile.
