This is Kobe's signature lay up. That base line. There's a lot of these but this one is gorgeous.

I really dislike this picture lol. It would look sick if the rim was 1 foot lower. He looks like he's not getting high enough.

That's not flopping. That was an outlet pass to Kobe and he trying to catch it over his shoulder like Jerry Rice. Pass interference on Smith though.

:oldlol: Considering he made 6 of 24 shots that night....yeah, probably not.

This one is a nice one but not because he dunked on Lebron. It's a superstar vs superstar poster. Which I like.

[andgar923]

Most of those Kobe pics aren't aesthetically pleasing.

Either the photographer caught him in a bad angle/moment or he struggles to get control in some of those moves.

Bending his legs while jumping for a dunk :rolleyes: how is that aesthetically pleasing?

If he's gonna do that, he can at least be dunking from the ft line and be over the rim (like somebody mentioned)

Kinda like this

Anyway, back on topic, prettiest basketball picture, to me, is Rodman's full-extension out of bounds dive for the ball.

That dunk is my favorite from Jordan. It really is beautiful and he got incredibly high.

Now that I'm thinking though, this is the dunk I wanted to post:

Kobe was top 5 in pps, fg% and had one of the lowest turnover rates in the post in 2012-13 :confusedshrug:, pretty sure he led the whole league in efficiency (in the post) for most of the year.

And Kobe is better at shooting the toughest (contested) shots than any other player I've seen since Jordan.

I mean, how many players have pulled off these?

The two greatest alphas in history. At least in terms of their mindset. Both absolute killers and would stomp on you if you showed weakness instead of giving you a helping hand. It's what drove them to be who they are.

Kobe was probably the most dedicated player ever. Living in LA all my life, I can't count the number of times he played through injuries that would most likely sideline 99% of other players. The guy wanted it more than anyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDWmwWdfrXc

yeah but:

1. The shot I was commenting on looked to me like a 3 (which he never shot even close to 40%)
2. He still didn't shoot 50% if it was a post fadeaway. I was commenting on a post saying that he most likely hit the shot, which is false. That implies he had a better than 50% chance of hitting it.
