By Trevor Zickgraf, Project Spurs.comKobe Bryant, in case you weren't aware, is a nine-time All-Defensive first teamer and three time second teamer. However, for the last several years that's been on reputation alone.

Despite his 2011 NBA Defensive first team nod in 2011 and second team nod in 2012, the secret is getting out that Bryant isn't anything more than an average defender anymore.
