Found this interesting coming from Tayshaun who played against both:

Of course, you can't have a discussion about the NBA without ignoring the palming and traveling that appears to be overlooked regularly.

Interesting quotes from Tayshaun. He was one of the best to guard those two. I don't think Detroit wins the 2004 title without him locking down Kobe. The only game LA won was when Detroit had Rip Hamilton guard Kobe on a last second game-winner. Had Tayshaun been on him I think Detroit sweeps LA.

I have no idea what your last sentence means. The article doesn't mention palming or traveling, and I don't know anyone who watches the NBA that is concerned about these issues or even thinks they are a problem.

Really just a comment about how far the league allows superstars to get away with the normal day-to-day violations. Getting more blatant that superstars have a lower standard of rules, but they're not paying to see the rest of the roster; I get that.
 
He shut down Kobe in the NBA Finals and held him to 38%. Prince was the difference in that series as he took Kobe out of his game and help him to 22.6 points per game, which was 5 points per game LESS than his season average.

He also locked up Durant in the 2013 Western Semis. That’s the furthest the Grizzlies have ever advanced in the post season.
