Kobe Bryant 1996 Summer League

[Regular_P]

He should've been in the starting line up from day 1. Imagine.

fukkin' Del Harris.

And yes, before anyone crucifies me, I know Eddie Jones was an All-Star SG.

Lebron is an average ballhandler. He has know advanced ball-handlers moves in his arsenal.


Passing is but one skill and isn't going to put him as "the most Skilled ALL AROUND player to come out of HS"



He could. Lebron was inefficient on offense and a huge net negative on defense. Had nothing to do with skill and everything to do with being "the chosen one" on a bad team playing on his hometown team with a greenlight.

C'mon breh. It's one thing to hate on lebron but it's another thing to say that Darius damn Miles could've did what he did. He got plenty of usage dog he was the third overall pick. He just was long and athletic w/o and NBA skill and didnt care to ever develop an NBA skill.

LOL, what the fukk does that even mean? LeBron was more skilled than damn near anyone coming out of HS.

you mean more roided up

Bron was arguably the most Skilled ALL AROUND player to come out of HS.

@ confusing athleticism with skill

 

[Guess Who]

Lebron had the best basketball instincts of any high school player I've ever seen. The very first time I saw him on a grainy tape I downloaded off kazaa when he was still in grade 11 I knew immediately he was going to be a legend.

You've officially gone off the deep end with this one breh.

Darius Miles....could have done what LeBron did...

Be an inefficient 20 ppg scorer and a bad defender? sure

I was at the 96 McDonald's all American game in Pittsburgh that year... Buzz was is he or won't he for kobe, go pro ... Rip Hamilton, whom it's funny my dude I ended up going to school with freshman year was his first cousin and got us tickets to a game in Philly and a Nygga stayed a weekend in Coatesville cool place, also my fave player in high school at the time Shaheen Holloway was in dat shyt, my junior year he was a counselor at a future stars camp I went to at James Madison, Bones was out there giving workin the midst of al Harrington and a few others... Cool story bro

 

[MoneyTron]

Just imagine if the hometown 76ers had drafted him first.

Stackhouse would've been even more pissed than he was with Iverson.

DFish with the dunk tho @ 5:30

 

[Lakerman0834]

@ kobes post game at 17 better than any current NBA guard/wing

 

[OH SOHH TRILL]

I could've did what Lebron did but I had to go to work and shyt

 

[Ohene]

Fisher had crazy bunnies. peep at 5:30.

that was crazy

 

[Ohene]

Rockets drafted Hakeem, and the Blazers already had Clyde. It's an understandable fukk up

highschoolers rarely went #1 back then i dont know what his beef is

 

[Malta]

Be an inefficient 20 ppg scorer and a bad defender? sure

Nope.

20/5/5 was out of the realm of possibility for a rookie Darius Miles, and every other HS to NBA pro. We don't even get College to NBA players doing that

He should've been in the starting line up from day 1. Imagine.

this is why i always scoff at dudes that say he wasn't ready for the NBA. those summer league highlights look like they coulda been shot two years ago. Kobe was ready. if he went to a bad team, he coulda averaged 20ppg as a rookie.
