Kobe was like the second coming of MJ. Booker doesn't have the ounce of athleticism Kobe had. It's clear as day these people in the video never watched him play. Wasn't Kobe in the Slam Dunk contest as well? he did the between the legs dunk, that takes a lot of athleticism.

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.:francis:
I would say Kobe was more athletic/explosive/agile (whichever adjective feels more accurate) than Lebron. Though I can appreciate everything Lebron is able to do based on his size.

For the people saying Kobe wasn’t athletic. These media outlets need to start doing their research before spewing bullshyt.

Honestly don’t like the Book Kobe comparisons at all

I don't even know why mans said some foolish like that. Only thing Book got similar to Kobe is his middy, and some of his handles look similar. That is all :hubie:

Booker is closer to Allan Houston than Kobe athletically

Booker more comparable to Ray Allen as an athlete not Kobe.

People still Overrate Kobe's athleticism though, dude was a monster in his prime, but people only put him up there with Vince, MJ, and Dominque Wilkens, because he was a great player. Regular journeyman and borderline stars like Gerald Green and Zach Lavine (people of that ilk) had more hops than Kobe. Kobe was gifted, and more athletic than Devin Booker clearly, but he isn't top 5. Truthfully i think prime Wade was a better dunker than Kobe, but of course he lost his lift early due to his knee's.

maybe brandon roy

book is not really athletic like that which shows why beverly is locking him up, Beverly struggles with athletic players...

Bron is old now so he don't count but people eat him who can move and jump high.

Luka just bullied him with size
