Recently, former NBA player Matt Barnes talked about Kobe on the "Club 520" channel.

He said: "I think maybe it's because his scoring ability is so dazzling that people ignore the efforts he put in on the defensive end. Obviously, I think he was more focused on defense when he was trying to gain a foothold in his early years, because he had to do that."

"As the team gradually grew up with him at the core, he still maintained his defensive focus, but he found someone like Artest. He found someone like me, and we used to argue about it because Ron and I would be on the other side's strongest player. So we have to argue with him, 'No, brother, these people are left to us. , you save all your energy to attack, and we will get the defense. 'But he is definitely a competitor... After playing against him for many years, he becomes a teammate again, which makes you see a completely different side of him - his paranoidness and dedication to being great."

"He said, 'I have to win the sixth championship. I have to be on the same level as Jordan. 'He is so persistent in winning another championship just to get into the discussion category that is comparable to Jordan. But the most terrifying thing is that he practices this paranoid attitude day after day. That's it."

"I will tie him with Jordan as the best offensive and defensive player in history."
