Does Bean have the most complete offensive arsenal ever?

[Rakim Allah]

So dominant offensively that he has a whopping ONE 50-pt game in the playoffs and ONE 40-pt game in the finals despite playing more games than MJ

10 straight 30 plus games in 2010 playoffs on one leg after Barkley said the days of Kobe scoring 30 plus nightly are over...Lakers went on to win the ship

why does he only have 1 50 point game in the playoffs

 

[blackzeus]

why does he only have 1 50 point game in the playoffs

Double teams and being the focus of the defense, and perhaps not being guarded by Travis f*ckin' Best

There isn't one way to stop Kobe:

Take you to the hole
-Dunks on premier shotblockers




3 Pointer
-Didn't this nikka have like 11 3's in a game?



Post-Up
- Nikka hits fadeaways from the 3 point line and sh*t



Kobe is the real life Agent Smith. You can't defeat him, you have to force him to defeat himself

but he got all these moves, he should have more than 1 50point playoff game.

can you explain why he has 2 scoring titles in 17 years

the king lebron shutdown the whos the most complete basketball player argument



now kobe stans wanna talk about offensive arsenal

we have these kobe stans on the rope

whats next? who has the prettiest jumpshot?

 

[MoneyTron]

Yes, most likely. Skillwise there is nothing Kobe is deficient at offensively.

That doesn't mean he is most efficient, or that he scores more than someone else, but he pretty much has every move in the book and more. I can't say the same for any other player in the NBA right now.

 

[MoneyTron]

Kobe's greatest offensive abilities over everything else are:

- Ability to square up to the basket no matter how is body is moving and where is he on the court
- His body control, which is damn near flawless
- Footwork
- Ability to keep jumpshot form in different types of shots at almost any range
- I'd add elevation on his jumper but that has decreased as he's gotten older

Those are things I don't think Bron and Wade have, and a couple of which I think he's even superior to Jordan in (#1 and 4).

While very athletic, he isn't overpowering like a LeBron and doesn't have the hands or jumping ability of a Micheal, so his game is much more perimeter oriented, leading to him shooting more jumpers than either.

and still having way more highlight worthy dunks and paint moves than Lebron

I guess but that's not what this thread is about.

Melo, as far as scoring can do anything Kobe can do

Melo is up there but he doesn't have the dribble of Kobe nor as good of footwork. His jumper is just as good though.

Paul Pierce has every move in the book breh.

 

[Swagnificent]

wow

some dudes just won't give credit even when its due

Who in here has said Kobe the best offensive player ever? or the most efficient ever? Why ya'll keep talking about FG% or scoring titles?

All we're saying is he has the most array of moves when it comes to scoring. Stop hating and just give props. This is one area where Kobe is CLEARLY superior to almost everyone. Only legit arguments are Jordan and prime McGrady. I'd take Kobe over Mike. And McGrady though phenomenal wasn't as good as Kobe when it comes to footwork, balance, and body control. His jumper was wetter and he had length/athletcism going for him. But Kobe had more moves. Pierce and Melo are both up there but they just don't have the athleticism of Kobe/Mike/McGrady to pull off as many moves as they do.

Stop hating and just give some credit for once.

Na.. IMO, when it came to scoring T-Mac was all talent and athleticism. I wouldn't categorize T-Mac as being one of the most skilled players ever , having amazing footwork, vast array of moves, etc. His game was very LeBron like from a visual stand point.

You dudes keep sleeping on Pierce.. I'm telling my nikka has every move in the book, can score from anywhere, legendary footwork.. But nikkas don't hear me though.
