This video details the superior defenses that
Bryant and other superstars have to go up against
in the modern era of basketball. Unlike he 80's
and 90's isolation brand of basketball, Kobe is
the most doubled-teamed perimeter player in the
history of the NBA.
Zone is effective because it plays the
percentages. It forces dominant players out of
the paint and into lower percentage shots. It also
forces great players to distribute the ball to the
perimeter - where their role players will become
forced into volume three point shooting. Zone is
the most effective method of defense and is used
around the world at almost every level. Zone is
used in college basketball (NCAA) by most teams,
and college is considered to be the 'purest' form
of basketball. Zone defense is also used by most
international teams and it was effective in
beating the more athletic USA in the 2006
International Fiba games.
If you don't take my word for it, why don't you
take Bryant's. Here is an article from 2007 in
which Bryant talks about modern zone defenses:
"The rules are completely different now,'' said
Bryant, comparing his era to Jordan's. "I've
always been able to shoot the ball, but the rules
have changed since he played in terms of playing a
zone defense. You have to be a jump shooter now
because there's no way you can get to the basket
-- particularly myself because they just stack
guys up. I wish we had the rules they had back in
the day where you could isolate guys and you could
go to the basket anytime. But now you have to be
able to shoot.''

*Zone was legalized prior to the 2001-2002 season
in order to contain Shaquille O'neal.
*I made this video with my personal archives of
Kobe/Laker footage. I made this video in 2 days -
I will make a more detailed version and
comparisons to Jordan's era when I have more time. Tags :KobeBryantZonedefenseRuleChange80's90'sweakisolationeraBasketballNBAhandcheckingBruceBlitzpropaganda
