Which sidekick is better for Kobe? 

Post#1 » by THFM » Sat Feb 9, 2008 2:49 am

Andre Iguodala or Joe Johnson?

Iggy's Numbers This Year:

PPG 19.4
RPG 5.60
APG 4.6
SPG 2.2
BPG 0.7


Joe's Numbers This Year:

PPG 21.0
RPG 4.30
APG 5.2
SPG 0.9
BPG 0.1

I take Iggy because his defense is tremendously better then Joe as you can tell from the SPG.

Johnson because he's the better shooter and can also play defense.

Iggy no doubt. His game is perfectly suited to play the secondary star roll next to a wing scorer like Kobe.

No doubt Iggy. Iggy can defend the Lebrons and Wades so he doesn't have to.

Kobe has publicly said that he really likes Iggy's game and he's a big fan. They also work out together in the summer.

Iggy, selfish enough to score to take pressure off Kobe, unselfish enough to avoid conflicts or anything with Kobe.

Igoudala..

But Bynum is a better sidekick than both...the third wheel, Gasol is a better sidekick than both Iggy and JJ.

Any one who says Joe Johnson is a better shooter, has never seen his shooting % yet.

Iggy is more athletic but I think JJ would be better as he can run point and his defense is pretty solid.

Got to go with Iggy.. Iggy is more unselfish and at times can be really great on defense, plus he plays off the ball much better.

JJ IMO because of his ability to burn teams from outside if the double off him onto Kobe.

Iggy is a better defender, but JJ is still very solid in that department, and both can handle.
