Vince was known to be explosive but nobody thought dude was quick or fast. This is some new revelation

Apparently it is.

There's a reason Vince didn't get to the line like prime Kobe or T-Mac. He wasn't as quick off the bounce as either.

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.

I’m just comparing MJ vs Kobe in quickness

 

[Trojan 24]

Vince didn't have the lateral mobility of Kobe and Jordan

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Wait, you think Vince was as quick and dynamic as Kobe

zero chance of this…Vince could jump higher off 2 but his movements weren’t as quick as Kobe definitely not as dynamic. I was never a fan of Vince’s game outside of leaping ability

To me Jordan and Kobe athletically are the similar, 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.

What? Kobe stayed backing down players with ease.

How many SG’s now are even as athletic as he was at 17 in this clip? Bean was a great athlete man he just wasn’t MJ.

This thread feels special needs short bus after the finals this year.

Pau saved Kobe from putting up meaningless 40 point games on losing teams. You should be grateful

Another gem by this fakkit.
