Kobe's best offensive skills are his body control and his ability to square up to the hoop in any situation. That's why he takes the shots he does. "Bad" shots can still be good if its within his range and ability. At least in his mind. Dude basically put no limits on the types of shots he felt he could make probably in '03 or so.

Its no problem for him to dribble horizontally across the lane, hop step, then turn to the hoop and shoot while fading. That's a great shot for him and bad for everyone else.

There's no one in the NBA close in my opinion in those aspects.

Main reason why I believe he has so much respect from his peers and coaches. They know that he takes and makes shots that no one else in the NBA can. That is a result of his natural ability and incredible work ethic. White fans who've never played the game don't know how difficult Kobe's game is to master. Thats why even though he's 17 years deep in the game, he can still give nikkas like Wade and Bron that work. :troll:

I bought a Carbon 15 when I was 18
I'm not surprised Lebron fans are insecure. Their idol wears a beach towel on his head to hide his receding hairline.

Who needs a beach towel when you have the Crown?

that's also why he's got a career losing record against both of them:troll:

What does that really mean though?:what:


Carmelo Anthony has a career winning record against LeBron James (10-6 vs LeBron) and against Dwyane Wade as well (12-5 against Wade).....does that mean he's better than both of them?:shaq:

I brought em up?:dwillhuh:


Swag said that Kobe is 17 years in and giving nikkas like Wade and Bron that work.


*Wade and Bron are established as key figures in the quote*


You responded with "that's why he also has a career losing record against both of them :troll: "


*You were referring to Kobe's career record against Wade and Bron*


I came back with, so what....Carmelo has a career winning record against both Wade and Bron, does that mean he's better than them then?


*challenging you with an obvious rhetorical question, hence the "checkmate"*


You bounce back with I'M the one that brought up Wade and Bron?:what::heh:


You Heat fans never cease to amaze me:snoop:
