Chauncey Billups: “Kobe is the most skilled player of all time”

Kobe took it further. He didnt just have MJs moves he took moves from other players as well.
If Kobe didn't try your shyt at least once it was trash.

You got a point
MJ had good handles and elite footwork

Lowkey he was the evolution of Jordan in that sense, the step between Jordan and the Kyrie's/Curry’s on the diagram
That’s not really fair. MJ was better at creating space off the bounce so he didn’t need to have as many fakes or counters. Kobe had MJs moves but he wasn’t as efficient or dominant when using those moves so Kobe had to use more moves to get his shots off.

MJ has grear handles. He was an efficient dribbler and had no wasted movements because his first step was ungodly.
It's very fair. It was already established earlier in the thread that Kobe had to do more because he wasn't as athletic as MJ...or LeBron for that matter.

I loved how they all paused and were like,
"Yeah
...that's true"
Those cats know how much trouble Kobe gave them.

The media never forgave Kobe for fukking that white girl. If you old enough to remember, Kobe was once a media darling. The same way Steph Curry is now. Hollywood/the media LOVED that dude. But after the rape case he was persona non grata. Bron Stans were more than happy to work in tandem with the media to discredit Kobe because they already hated him off GP. But, it's sad. Even if you think Bron better (he aint) but, even if you do, it's corny you can't even bring Kobe name up without them and the media trying to slander him. We can talk football about Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton, Brees, Wentz, Russ, Cam, all these cats without any slander but, nikkas start frothing at the mouth when Kobe is brought up.

Like I said his footwork was elite, handles were good, nothing mind blowing
First step is footwork not handles

What gives billups and Paul pierce the right to say this?
What analytics do they have to support this claim?
