Kobe had no more athleticism than Devin Booker

[livindajetlife]

Came on here to auto-neg OP because we don’t allow blasphemy against Goatbe.. then I saw he quoted the air head of the board @UpAndComing

Now I’m just laying in the cut ready to neg the lil dude any chance I get.

The concept is so ridiculous it barely deserves a response but good thing you brought this idiocy to the light @livindajetlife

Worst part: these are the dudes who say shyt like “I know basketball bruh, trust”


Never mention Kobe again upandcoming. Jokers are not qualified to speak on GREATNESS.

I feel you bruh is automatic neg level at this point

Honestly don’t like the Book Kobe comparisons at all

Really like Book, but I eased off of that once I heard him complaining about being doubled in pickup. On a game to game basis, he lacks the motor and over the top competitiveness. That's even more important than his lack of athleticism.

Booker wishes he could do thatBook got athleticism more like Klay pre injuries to me if anything

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?

shyt i didn’t even know that was a “thing” In all my years of basketball debates I never heard nobody say Kobe Bryant ain’t athletic .. and these dudes wanna say some Devin Booker mannnnn come on

hilarious fukking thread.

@ Kobe not bein' athletic

 

[Buckeye Fever]

EXACT play I thought of.

Now THAT is a combo of athleticism AND skill

Why are dudes revising history? Kobe was a talented player who through hard work and competitiveness made himself into an all time great.

But dudes putting him on all time super athlete lists in the NBA are straight up LYING.

Enough with the revising of history.

Kobe top 5 not top 3.

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

How are you measuring athleticism to draw this conclusion? I have Kobe in top 10-15 when it comes to athleticism.

I think ppl wanted Kobe to "rely" more on his athleticism because they saw him use a lot of it early on in his career, but somethin happened along the way. He perfected his skillset and ended up with every tool in his bag

There wasnt anywhere on the court he couldnt beat you from.

One of the most beautiful games I have ever seen. The footwork, form on his shot, etc

Is he Devin Booker level?

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.

That’s cool and I respect your opinion but it’s the comparison to Devin Booker that I’m shocked about

Was Kobe more athletic than Eddie Jones?

Kobe was an athletic wing in the mold of other athletic wings of his and previous eras.
Definitely not a super athlete by NBA standards.
