I already said Vince was more explosive than Kobe. And I already said explosiveness isn't the only measure of athleticism. What don't you understand?
Show evidence of how he is Quicker and has a faster first step or whichever other goal posts you've set.

To me Jordan and Kobe athletically are the same, but what separated them is size and strength. Jordan was a bigger and stronger player which allowed him to bully pretty much any player that went against him.

Kobe lacked the size and strength of Jordan so couldn’t consistently bully and back down players with ease, which made him a less dominant player in comparison.
Jordan was also more explosive and quicker with big hands so basically more athletic than Kobe.

One could argue that and I wouldn’t disagree. But one of the reasons why Jordan was more explosive is because of his strength. Jordan could penetrate the lane and overpower damn near anyone trying to stop his shot. Kobe couldn’t.

Quickness is harder to judge because they were both very quick. But if there was a quickness test I wouldn’t be surprised if Kobe was a little quicker simply because he was a lighter skinnier person.

You have nothing to prove to me about Jordan breh. I grew up a Magic Johnson stan and hated Jordan growing up. And even I can acknowledge that Michael Jordan is not only the GOAT, buts it’s not even close.

Kobe, Lebron are not sniffing Jordan GOAT. The only player that has a legitimate argument as GOAT beside Jordan is Kareem.
