I also think some players may have misperceptions about the ability to "shut down" anybody. "This game's broke!! Kobe lit me up for 30!!! Defense is impossible!"

Uh, hello - It's the NBA, there's no such thing as shutting down. Teams will get their points, period.

But you CAN try and slow them down and force more bad shots than good. Actually, that's all you can do. That's all Don Nelson, Phil Jackson and Reggie Theus can do, too.
