Kobe is more athletic than Lebron

[JohnMax]

Lebron has a slow first step and only becomes explosive if he runs fast in a straightline for a certain distance.

Its why he starts his offense between 3pt line and halfcourt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax3Gdg4Hr3k

Its why he excels in fastbreaks and chasedown blocks because open court provides more space to run.

Its why he sucks in isolation because he doesn't have enough distance to become explosive.

True, though its a shame with this better athleticism Kobe could never shoot 47% from the field, gets worse stats, and also averages only 5 rebounds a game


The only explanation for Kobe still being worse than LeBron, with better athleticism, is that LeBron is much more skilled. :confusedshrug:

You care way too much about trivial box score stats. Winning is all that matters.

I have to agree with OP here.

Kobe trumps Lebron in other categories that people neglect when talking about athletic ability such as agility, quickness, reflex, body-fluidity and footwork. These are things pee neglect.

In the overall grand scheme of things he is much more athletic than Lebron.

Kobe is like a Ferrari and Lebron is a semi truck.

Don't get me started on peenis size either.

Dammmmmmmmmmmmm... he has his hands just above rim level, dat athleticism.

[HOoopCityJones]

More so than athleticism Kobe's advantage in dunking was always his footwork and ability to play angles in mid air. He's one of the most aesthetically pleasing dunkers of all time, after MJ, Wilkins and Griffin. I'd argue he's posterized more Centers in this league the last decade before Blake showed up.

Thing is, Kobe is creative with his athletic ability whereas Bron isn't.

That doesnt mean much really...Kobe is probably more creative than Westbrook also but you wont see people use that as a reason to claim hes more athletic than him

What does footwork has to do with athleticism? Are you gonna use that as arguments to claim that Larry Bird and Paul Pierce were also more athletic than Lebron?

THIS THREAD BACKFIRED ON OP... But Kobe may have more all around athletic ability than Lebron.. Kobe has a better First step and much more agility than Lebron has ever had..
