@B1G_controversy bean absolutely had a deeper bag than mj
that's no disrespect to mj
bean just had more to draw from
up to & even beyond his last season he was taking the best steps out of nikkas arsenal
old school nikkas who played in the black & white era up to the current moment
he'd be at a damn middle school matchup see some shyte & put it in his bag
absolutely obsessed with hoops
it was performance art to him

You're confusing handles with dribbling ability. You don't have to be flashy like Jason Williams to have great handles. Young Jordan's handles were not super flashy but no one could ever get the ball off him and his handle was the best I've seen from any non-PG.You're confusing athleticism with handle
Beating a guy using mainly athleticism is not the same as beating a guy using your handle
80s MJ was a supreme athlete...but his handle wasn't seen on par with Zeke
When we think about early 00s handles, we think about AI, Kobe, Mac, White Chocolate
They brought more flair to beating guys off the dribble
MJ had a tight handle that was the norm for his era
Kobe had crossovers, speed dribbles, change of pace dribbles, behind the back, pull back dribbles, inverted spins, body jabs, cross jabs, cross steps, spin step backs, hang dribbles
Kobe literally did it all...hence him being called by some as the most skilled ever...it's mainly bc he had so many tools in his arsenal, he could execute every type of move

As for skill, well I rest my case. If you're going to appeal to authority, i'm sure the general consesus is Jordan is the most skilled ever. Some say Kobe, but that is by no means a majority view. But let's agree to disagree.
