Kobe had no more athleticism than Devin Booker

[fifth column]

nikka got the rim grazer package

Booker got that Klay Thompson dunk package

 

[Hersh]

Kobe second prime got people fukked up.. that's when he became mostly skill.. minimum athleticism.

 

[InstantKlassik]

im not even the biggest kobe ban...but i think i watched 96 percent of all kobe games since he came in to the League

remember the yao dunk

Had this on VHS.

this was Yao/Shaq II

 

[fifth column]

Kobe is top 1% basketball athlete. Basketball athleticism is specific to basketball.

I miss Kobe…

 

[ZEupTWN]

First off Arenas is an idiot, Kobe had amazing athleticism + work ethic, Kobe have just as much posters as Vince Carter and MJ, Kobe was a better in game dunk than Vince to me

As an overall athlete Vince is not touching Kobe outside of leaping ability. he was quicker, movements/transitions way more smooth and balanced...

 

[Long Live The Mamba]

I still every time I see this one..

 

[bl2k8]

Nah, Kobe was an elite athlete.

He just wasn’t a superhuman like Bron, TMac, Wilt, MJ David Thompson, David Robinson and Vince.

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

 

[Marc Spector]

I never thought kobe was a great leaper per se.

It was his footwork that was godly

 

[Gangstar8]

Kobe had top tier athleticism. There were just ultra athletes that had more (Bron, Mike, AI, etc). Kobe is still in the top 3% at worst when it comes to athleticism for all star level players (there have been some random freak athletes who weren’t top level players).

AI and Vince aren't on kobe's level athleticism wise

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Mike had ungodly hang time. Only probably ever seen by Zach Lavine but even his isn’t graceful like MJ.

Young Kobe had generational athleticism. Probably over used it and that’s why he was hurt so much

 

[Voice of Reason]

Kobe was way more athletic than booker come on now

 

[Voice of Reason]

AI and Vince aren't on kobe's level athleticism wise

vince was a better athlete than Kobe stop playing

 

[Voice of Reason]

Kobe used to do 360s on the fast break booker is not doing that
