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. :yeshrug:

He had the ultimate old man's game...that's why he's still ballin had a good level.

And that's why T-Mac is useless despite being a younger age than Pierce.. once his body broke down and he lost that athleticism, it was a wrap for him because he was never really that skilled.

You say old man's game, I say one of the best skill-sets ever, behind only MJ and Kobe. Post game, signature stepback, can finish with either hand, turnaround jumpers, 1v1 game, herky jerky moves, can/could finish above the rim with ease, take people off the dribble, haandles.. just :wow: That's my all-time Celtic :to:



He's great no doubt. Melo too.

Melo has a nice offensive skill-set as well. IDK, something about his shyt is just mechanical to me :yeshrug:

But, their relative lack of athleticism limits them a bit offensively compared to a Jordan or Kobe.

Even in this shytty game last season by the Lakers vs the Celtics, dude was giving you the whole game inside and out. Down in the post for the first shot. Only MJ or Dr.J is doing that throwaway shot at 1:19. The double spin move into the fadeaway at 1:35. Left handed floater/jumper at 3:12. And this is Kobe post prime....



Like I said, at this point, these moves don't make him the most efficient or effective scorer, but in terms how many ways can one player get off a shot and have a reasonable chance of getting FGs or FTs, he's hard to top.

I wouldn't put MJ above Bean because he's not a better shooter. And before nikkas come at my neck thinking this is my personal opinion, Phil has READILY acknowledged this as well as too many NBA analysts to count.
You Kobe clowns will outright lie. When did Phil say that Kobe was a better shooter? In his latest book he eluded to Mike being a better shooter on the strength of fg%. Regardless of what Phil or anyone else says, Mike was a better jump shooter. Kobe just shoots more jumpers.

Saying "Kobe's outside shooting is perhaps better than Michael's" is not being definitive whatsoever. He was purposely being vague in effort to not come right out and say that Mike was completely better than Kobe in every way, which is basically what he said in his recent book. You have to remember, he was coaching Kobe at the time. The long pause and the clearing of the throat when being asked to cosign the silly assertion that Kobe was more skilled than Mike says it all. So no, Phil didn't actually say "Kobe is a better shooter than Mike was" like you're fakkit ass tried to imply.

If he didn't mean it, then why does he say right after that MJ's inside game is definitely better? Because he just said Kobe is a better shooter! He's trying to back up saying Kobe is better at A with saying, but Michael was definitely better at B.

Think what you want though, you're that same dude who is just a fukking fakkit. Always referencing sucking dikk and what not. Matter of fact, I'm mad I even acknowledged your dumb ass.

Proceed!

Kobe is def number 1 in the league, but all these fadeaways and tough shots , melo does it too. Melo in the last year melo has added the turn around dream shake fade away, and the dirk one leg shot, Durant started doing the dirk one too.

It's dope as hell watching one of your favorite players add new moves to their arsenal .

Kobe has that one move tho where he spins out the post for the fade away but then spins back, that shyt is beautiful to watch. I exploit that shyt on 2k

If he wanted to say that Kobe was the better shooter then he would've said it the same way that he said Mike was better on the inside ect, in an absolute way. He chose to use the word "perhaps" when discussing Kobe being a better outside shooter for a reason. He didn't use words like "perhaps" and "maybe" when discussing who's better on the inside because there's no debate there. Stop lying cocksucker. If you're going to quote someone then quote accurately.

That bytchmade psychology doesn't work either. When I call you and the rest Kobe cocksuckers you know good and well that I mean it figuratively. You all reach to take it literally because your probably are true to life fakkits.
