PS. Even the stats are flawed for including teenage Kobe when Magic entered the league after 2 years of college
I never said anything about the stats. If objective data against different players under different rules in different eras with different...
Its irrelevant unless you believe Kobe's legendary status and reputation around the league exceeds Magic's while he was playing.

Under which rules? The question isn't which is the better defense... its which defense would it be more difficult to put up impressive numbers...
There isn't any defensive statistic that shows the 05-06 Pistons on par with the 04 Pistons defensively. :confused:
None of those stats claim to rank what you are projecting on them. Its a strawman argument.
Exactly. Carry on.
Unrelated articles trump cold hard facts. LOL

No they don't. The "best" defense Wade faced in the playoffs would be a below average Finals opponent for Kobe. Its like comparing a couple of...

I think Wade would play worse against tougher defenses and Kobe would play better against weaker ones. :confused: The problem with only...

You do realize that among the 9 teams, Wade has faced the easiest two defenses by far right? 04 Pistons 95.4 01 76ers 98.9 08 Celtics 98.9...
You are confusing two separate points. Whether or not Mike Brown was responsible for the Cavs offense and whether or not the Cavs offense was...
Thats not what a strawman argument means and how is it irrelevant? The entire basis of your criticism is that a Mike Brown offense struggled...
