Kobe is not fluid. He dribbles funny and runs funny. Doesn't mean he isn't insanely athletic. A very young Kobe was so-so fluid, but still herky jerky. It is why he is good at drawing fouls - he moves in a weird (but not ugly way).

Derrick Rose is a good example of this. He jerks side to side on fastbreaks.

In the case of Rose and Iverson, often its about the second defender that the fake is for. They don't have much a problem with the first defender. When Rose had Wade and Lebron on the break he first angles off and bumps Wade, than gets Lebron to overrun the play.
