Parker isn't mad underrated, he's just not in the same class as Wiggins. Parker is also not very quick laterally and his first step is simply okay. Hes a good ballhandlers though

It's like Kobe and Lebron. Kobe is a freak athlete but Lebron is just in a whole different tier with Shaq, Jordan, and Wilt.

I know. I said he's a good athlete but Wiggins on another tier.

The comparison to Kobe wasn't to say Jabari was at that level (Kobe is pretty but to give and example of saying that someone isn't athletic as some GOAT-tier athletes doesn't necessarily mean you're understating them.

my only thing is that there are a couple of tiers separating Jabari from Wiggins

Wiggins could be on the all time elite levels, while Jabari is not close to that.

Its all semantics so dont mind me for being pedantic. :manny:

LeBron really only got 3 things on Kobe athletically. He's much stronger, he faster after getting a running start, and he's the best ever at jumping off one foot. In terms of first step quickness Kobe has him beat. Jumping off 2 feet, Kobe has him beat. In terms of body control (being able to contort his body in the air), Kobe has him beat. Agility, Kobe has him beat.

Its just LeBron's 6'9" 270 lbs, strong as an ox, runs faster than most PGs, and can jump off one foot like he's taking off on a trampoline. those things when put together is what makes him unstoppable.

but lets not act like Kobe doesn't have him beat in many areas. its just that what Lebron has him beat added to his ridiculous size is what makes him special.

Lebron being 6'8 and 260 is absurd. You're also vastly underestimating Lebron's first step. People play OFF Lebron and he's still able to explode past them whereas people play Kobe tight and he blows past him.

Kobe has better agility in the air but Lebron has better balance, strength, is WAY more durable, has more stamina, has an elite first step too, and all the other things your mentioned.

Kobe has better agility on the floor and acrobatics in the air but again, a Lebron is 265-270. The fact that he's explosive, agile, has the balance and speed that he does is just...mind-boggling.

Kobe is slightly better at the things you expect a dude that's probably 40 lbs lighter and 4 inches shorter to be but the mere fact that Lebron is comparable, at his size) is what makes it absurd because he still all the physical advantages you'd expect a dude who is 6'8 and 260 to have like strength and size but he has freakish jumping ability, speed, quickness, balance, Durability, and even a soft touch.

agree on almost everything. except i wouldn't say LeBron has a tremendous first step. its good. incredible even for a guy his size. but its not in the Kobe/AI/Wade/Jordan class. if it was, he'd be even more imposing. what makes LeBron imposing driving the ball is his strength moreso than first step.

I agree, he is above average athletically from what I've seen. I think Wiggins might be a lol more athletic but I think Parker makes up for that with the polish he has to his game...

Being a freak athletically doesn't equal success in the NBA, look how long it has taken Gerald Green to find his game, or cats like Tyrus Thomas who never pan out...

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
he's better than him at everything except defense

ballhandling, driving, mid-range, post-up, 3-point, passing, rebounding, etc.


:dead:

But, you're saying Wiggins is the next Jordan now, when here you are saying Parker is better.
