Kobe had no more athleticism than Devin Booker

[Controversy]

Kobe was baptizing all the big men when they entered the league. I remember he banged in rookie Yao.

Who has more HOF bodies than Kob?

Big Ben
Big Fundamentals
Big Ticket
Yao
Dwight
Admiral
Bron
Nash
CP0

And then in game dunks on Sprewell, Josh Smith, Jaren Jackson, Gerald Wallace

Even if you're able to adjust your body to avoid a block or a defender, you're still jumping in the same direction.

I LITERALLY EXPLAINED
TO YOU WHAT IT MEANT
AND YOUR DUMB ASS STILL
TALKING ABOUT JUMP DIRECTION.

THE STRAIGHT LINE
REFERS TO THE MOVEMENT BEFORE THE JUMP

People forget how athletic young Kobe was

So you keep talking about this jumping in a straight line nonsense but you actually mean body control.
Say what you mean and mean what you say, dumb ass.

I don't know where this whole Kobe wasn't athletic thing came from?

Do ppl say it to hype his work ethic as if he couldn't have both?

Yeah they act like minimizing how athletic/gifted he naturally was will take away from his great work ethic. When in reality it makes it even more impressive that he worked that hard when he was naturally gifted/athletic as hell

96-03 Kobe would be a top 5 wing athlete in the league today imo.

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Kobe top 5 not top 3.

1). Vince Carter
2). Dominique Wilkins
3). MJ
4). Lebron
5). Kobe

lol
Is this based on dunkin? Cause Vince was washed after 30…

Being athletic is more than dunking the ball early in your career

I’d say Rose is one of GOAT athletes before the injuries

 

[Trojan 24]

Kobe top 5 not top 3.

1). Vince Carter
2). Dominique Wilkins
3). MJ
4). Lebron
5). Kobe

No one is matching MJ's blend of strength, speed, vert, body control and lateral movement. And if we being real the only that gets close is Kobe

 

[High quality poster]

Kobe was going this at damn near 34 years old. Y’all crazy, RIP the shooting gawd

 

[seemorecizzy]

im not even gonna read thru the pages, but if anyone is saying kobe wasn't abnormally athletic, please ban them.

devin booker

 

[shadowking]

He is tiers above Booker when it comes to athleticism, dude won a slam dunk contest. But to put him near Lebron when it comes to athleticism is crazy talk.

How is Lebron more athletic
Kobe is far more smoother
Lebron is impressive due to lifting his larger frame but there is no way he’s more athletic than Kobe

ITS CLEARLY DERRICK ROSE.

DA fukk YOU nikkaS
TALKING ABOUT?

KOBE AINT ON THAT LEVEL
AND IDK WHY CASUALS
KEEP MENTIONING VINCE.

LMAO DOMINIQUE.

THIS AINT A DUNK CONTEST.

[Maddmike]

Just to play devils advocate, do you think he means athleticism like he could go into any sport and dominate? Not to say Kobe couldnt
