yup, your right on orange...I hate having to defend Detroit, but it has to be done...so many misconeptions, it isn't what it was in the 80's and 90's.
Plus Detroit plays in Auburn Hills...people are clueless sometimes.
Kobe is a good defender abcs but the defense wll suffer if he has to put up his customary 45 shots a game...the defense is better on the east coast imo, minus san antonio in the west and it would be tougher to get 60 or 70 a few times for Kobe in a season.
