First and foremost, I agree with the idea that's it's not 1-on-1 defenders that'll make the difference, but team defense.  And that may have nothing to do with Kobe's production.  Personally, I don't care if he scores 50 a game if the rest of the team is ineffective. 

Secondly, let's not leave James Posey out of this.  He should be guarding Kobe roughly half the game.  I'd put him right up there with Bowen in terms of defense.  While Bowen might have the edge in terms of technique, Posey isn't too shabby either, and has superior length and athleticism.
