Kobe is a top 10 SG athlete we’ve seen and one of the best dunkers ever (I personally have him above MJ as a dunker).

D-Book is about an average athlete. Decent open floor jets and can throw it down in space and with an open lane, has good balance and coordination. Has done a good job of improving his athleticism and fitness level since being drafted.

Bad post.

Kobe had a big strength advantage over Book. Book struggles finishing with contact so instead he just fades or do a off balanced shot that he makes sometimes and people automatically assume Kobe. Devin Booker is the next Devin Booker. I don’t wanna hear his name associated with Kobe ever again. Let the young man build his own legacy without the comparisons.

Had this on VHS.

this was Yao/Shaq II :wow:
Shaq didn’t play in this game.

It was in the middle of Kobe’s 40 point streak.
I feel this is a case where everyone is using different terminology. Elite to me= MJ Bron Vince even Westbrook etc.

Kobe was a great athlete but not on the same level
I think those guys are super humans (not Russy, but that’s a different argument).

Not many people in the games history are on that level
