Kobe Bryant's killer instinct isn't just attached to his offensive ability but his defensive ability as well. His incredible achievement of being 9x All NBA Defensive First Team (Tied for best ever in the NBA) and 3x All NBA Defensive Second Team pretty much tells the story about him being a two-way player.

Kobe finished his career with 640 total career blocks and has a career average of 0.5 blocks. Bryant did an unbelievable job in the 1998-99 season where he averaged 1 block for the whole season and pretty much repeated the same with an average of 0.9 and total of 62 blocks for the succeeding 1999-00 season.
