Both Kobe Bryant All-Defensive teams after 2009-10
Bryant was named to 12 All-Defensive teams, and he even deserved some of them. But as he got older and injuries mounted, his defense dropped off, but the All-Defensive nods did not. He was named to the 2011 first team and the 2012 second team, even though a knee injury suffered during the 2009-10 season emphatically closed the door on his days as an elite defender.
