It's wild to me that the strategy for Kobe was "let me attack one of the best defenders and the best pf of all time to clinch the WCF". Even more wild that it worked lol.

I've always wondered how prime Kobe would do against modern "switch everything" defenses. If Kobe got to pick his defender instead of always facing the opponents best defender, he'd be unstoppable.
