Jason kidd was a way better pg than Allen Iverson.

I agree that shaq was more of a 90s center
shaq was his most dominant the year he won the mvp trophy. that was 99-2000 season. the first year they won the championship. he was dominant for 2 more years. and had 2 more rings.

LOL SO HE COULDA BEEN THE GREATEST IF......

BUT SOMEHOW, IN UR MIND, HE DAPPIN BRON UP

U DUMB AS A MUFUCCA

Could have been the greatest if he was selfish and played for himself but since his legacy is based on winning, he has him ranked 2nd or 3rd of all time. Seriously, read what Gilbert is saying. He DOES NOT agree with the points you're trying to make here. Quote Skip Bayless or some other troll instead.

I BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR THAT IF U ASK GILBERT "WOULD LEBRON BE 2/6 IN THE FINALS IF HE WAS MORE SELFSH?" HIS ANSWER WOULD BE "FUCC NO"

Any guy that averages 27 ppg over his career is a #1 option. I understand what he is saying but Bron now has a back to the basket and baseline-midrange-elbow game. You can't cover him one one one in any organized game

:patrice: you lose speed playing straight up

he's low on every cross especially the second one


look how he gets low to make this crossover effective

Gilbert was right about lebron playing straight up and down but totally wrong about Kidd

he wasnt totally wrong about kidd( look at how he's kind of straight up in your video, sure he bends a bit to make the cross but he's playing straight up unlike other guys that play lower to the ground from the start. thats what gill was talking about.). for the most part kidd is a straight up type of pg. he doesnt get super low like a lot of pg's do. but kidd was also 6'4 or close to it. thats getting into SG height territory. the taller guys are the less they want to get low.

but i agree with you. kidd was fast as hell regardless. just natural ability. the man was super quick too.



^^Look at drose. he starts with his shoulders lower then jkidd. jkidd is literally standing straight up before his moves but he was still quicker than everyone lol.

you can see Tim is lower too from the start.

his back to the basket game is very suspect. his mid range game is a lot better than it was but still just ok in comparison to these greats. bron can get away with it due to the new era of officiating, all of the screens he has set for him throughout most games(not so with jordan, kobe, not even prime young tmac, or prime vince). things change. and everyone is starting their plays with a high screen now as if it wasnt hard enough trying to guard a train like bron.
