Kobe fan here. Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince are the players that I remember giving him trouble.
Tayshaun’s defense during the 2004 finals was suffocating. His length really bothered him and even if he was able to get past him, Ben and Rasheed was waiting in the paint.
Kobe mentioned that Tony Allen was his toughest defender.
