Good tidbit. Kobe admits it is indeed harder to get to the hoop than during the Jordan era. What? Another Jordan vs. Kobe debate? Not quite, but Kobe does make some valid points…
Sports Illurtraded: Bryant said he has relied more on his jumper because of the NBA’s defensive rules — and not because of his advancing age.
“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.”

Yea that’s what makes Kobe the best he always get’s his shot’s that’s why they have to triple team him.Le’Bron and Wade they leave those guy’s alone, well for the most part.
makes sense why he plays that way zone defense makes things different because there are more people surrounding the basket.
