Kobe Bryant on LeBron James: "He's able to control the momentum of the game"

In an interview on Fox Sports' 'Chris and Caron', Kobe Bryant shared his thoughts on LeBron James and what's the key to his dominance in the playoffs.

"I think the tempo that he is playing at, he's able to control the tempo of the game," Bryant said. "The game, especially in the playoffs, is all built on momentum shifts, and what he's been able to do in these playoffs is control the momentum. When it shifts, how it shifts. When teams go on big runs, he’s been able to stop those momentums. It's a very difficult thing to do, and he’s been able to dominate that this postseason."

How to stop him?

"For one thing, you have to stop letting him go left," Bryant added. "Every big shot that he makes is going left. He's remarkable about getting to that left hand and being able to raise up and shoot. That's the first thing I would do, disrupt his ability to go left. It’s amazing, all those shots are either coming right shoulder from the post or off the dribble with his left hand. That's the first thing I would look at if I was guarding him in these playoffs - make him do something different besides going to that left."
