GOAT PG.

Would be the MVP favorite this year if not for missing a few games.

That time when you thought you could actually dunk from the free throw line.

[lilteapot]

That looks completely unnecessary :lol
He did that because Bellinelli tried to wrap him up.

MJ did it without needing to run full speed - infact, he stops on a dime and spins back in traffic - this is a superior display of skill and athletic ability.

If you gave Westbrook 3 more inches, more power and smarts, and the ability needed to triple his dunk frequency (as the stats show (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352399)), you'd have Jordan.

Other than Jordan's vastly higher dunk frequency, MJ's advantages seem to be statistically reflected primarily in his considerably higher FG% - after all, Westbrook's per-100 possession production this season is only slightly less than peak Jordan's, but Westbrook shoots a whopping 10 percentage points less in FG%.

So imagine Westbrook doing everything he's doing now, but only bigger, stronger, smarter and the ability to shoot 10 percentage points better and dunk 3 times as often.. that's the GOAT.

Nice :lol

Pistol Pete did a fake behind-the-back pass followed by a layup from the FT line, yet some dude claimed he wasn't athletic enough or something :rolleyes:

Wow, you are an idiot.

That was not a layup, that was a floater. He didn't even land near under the basket at all.

Thing is, he jumped further because he didn't jump high.

He did a straight jump after running at almost full speed. He didn't accelerate high at all, so of course he jumped further.

[Richesly]

Westbrook jumped forward to, with no acceleration of going up to the rim.

It's not as hard as you guys think.

Realize that Westbrook head was no where near the rim.

Dunking from the freethrow line is a challenge because you have to jump HIGH and FAR enough at the same time, where as layuping from the FT line requires you to only jump far enough.

I could have undoubtedly done this in high school.

Yea, it's like he didn't even jump :rolleyes:

Russ didn't jump all tht much higher than him... That gif is in slow-mo too.

I don't think you'll find footage of a player doing a fake behind-the-back-pass while connecting on the layup from that far or farther out.

Westbrook would make this dunk look a lot harder - it would be a play of the year for him, whereas it was just another play for Jordan.

This season, Westbrook's per-100 possession stats are only slightly less than peak Jordan's, but Westbrook shoots a whopping 10 percentage points less in FG% - so imagine Westbrook doing everything he's doing now, but only bigger, stronger, smarter, with the ability to shoot 10 percentage points better and dunk 3 times as often (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352399) - that's Jordan in today's game.

In addition to MJ-type plays being that much harder for Westbrook, it's easy to forget all the Jordan things that Westbrook can't do at all (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10866292&postcount=29).. Comparing MJ's game (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11021030&postcount=6) to Westbrook shows how much easier MJ did everything.

No one is comparing Westbrook to Jordan you ****ing imbecile. Shut the **** up and appreciate other players once in a while.

Takes off a little further forward but lands a lot further back and gets a lot higher. His right knee almost takes off a ducking opponents head.

Yeah, I did this in high school (didn't want to jump off the right foot and a trailing defender meant no time for a stutter step).

i'm pretty sure everyone in the nba can make a layup from the freethrow line at full speed.

All I got from this is that players in the past did foul line layups much like Westbrook, only with more athleticism and made it look much easier and effortless.

OP that's not impressive at all, especially when you factor in the fact hes only got an atrocious 36.5 inch vertical. Definitely not in the elite tier athlete category with ur lebrons and prime Drose's.
