Average athletic ability? Kobe doesn't have extreme hops, but he had an elite combination of fluidity, agility, and co-ordination. He didn't have MJ/VC hops, but still a very good jumper combined with the above traits.

The ****? :oldlol:

Kobe was the most athletic SG of his era for players around his size - 6'5'6'7.

[feyki]

Top 10 would be more objective .

He has by his wingspan . But you're right on small hand , athleticism etc .

For me , Kobe had greatest work ethic in nba history . Specially after his 28 .

Actually , Russell and Jordan probably had better .

He had incredible speed, quickness, athleticism, could jump out the gym, had the strength to finish through contact. You're clueless and should give up your basketball card.

Paul George isn't a category of athleticism over Kobe.

[retaxis]

acceleration, explosiveness, agility, coordination, reflexes, strength all these important things that you can't see straight away are far more important than height or length or how high you can jump.

Some of the worlds greatest athletes in soccer, swimming, tennis, boxing, MMA, table tennis etc etc do not have incredible 'athleticism'

kobe has great reflexes, fluidity, strength and coordination as well as athleticism which made him great. Lebron has only the athleticism but no fluidity and poor coordination and explosiveness (Has good downward speed but slow first step)

[Indian guy]

Paul George isn't a category of athleticism over Kobe.

Or even that athletic, for that matter. At best, I would consider PG merely a 'good' athlete. Although his over-dependency on the jumper and lack of consistent slashing game is a testament to his limited athleticism. Comparing him to Kobe athletically, much less considering him superior, is a joke.

For players in that 6'5-6'7 range, Kobe was the most athletic player of his era. Nobody had his combination of speed, quickness, agility, coordination and hops.

this whole narrative that kobe is some kind of slum athlete helps build his heroic accomplishments, but its bullsh!t IMO.

Someone that can dunk on a prime Dwight Howard, not just any dunk, a dunk where the mans ball sack lingers in and around dwights mouth is anything but an 'average' (by nba standards) athlete. Like seriously.

[sportjames23]

Word. I've never understood his stans saying Kobe wasn't on the same level athletically as the best athletes in the NBA. Well, I do actually--they wanted to make Kobe's accomplishments seem more impressive by saying that shit.

But anyone who has seen any Kobe highlight reels know that's bullshit. Kobe was one of the most athletic players in NBA history.

Kobe was a very athletic player when he played with Shaq but he was never close to being the most athletic player at his position...he never had a huge vertical like Vince and he certainly didn't have D-Wade's speed/agility

why you think he shoots so many contested fadeaways, if he had the physical advantage over his defender every time like Bran or MJ he'd also be getting more buckets inside

I agree! I think peak Kobe was a freak athlete. But he wasn't on the level of MJ, Vince, Bron, or Nique in that regard. Those guys had athletic ability that redefined basketball in their respective eras. But when u look back at peak Kobe's finishing ability, it qualifies for the freak athletic level in my opinion.

Well said. I'll take Kobe athletically over Wade slightly. I think Kobe jump higher, stronger, had better hang time in mid air while Wade was quicker, faster, better agility lighting speed and change of direction.

[OldSchoolBBall]

Kobe is the second most - or at third the 3rd most - athletic SG ever. Only Jordan and maybe Vince are ahead.

Kobe is at least as athletic as Wade, more athletic than TMac, Drexler, Nique. His far superior body control and coordination alone shits on theirs (except TMac, who also had great body control).

There's more to athleticism than vertical leap. The eye test tells me that Kobe had an elite package of speed, agility, quickness, co-ordination. Did others jump higher, faster end to end, more agile? Absolutely. But the *overall* package of traits he brought to the table was elite. The argument of someone relying on 'limited' athleticism would be moreso for someone like Paul Pierce, by the standards of today's greyhounds( and even the guys who came in with him) he had 'average' athleticism. But anyone saying Kobe didn't have superior athleticism is straight up asinine. Look up some footage in particular from his #8 days and tell me this guy wasn't a crazy athlete in his prime.

Let's be real.. Paul George is a tier above Kobe athletically.. and he's a few tiers below guys like T-mac, Vince.. and they're a few tiers below LeBron & MJ..

In the dawn of the YouTube era, Kobe fans used to claim Kobe was more athletic than MJ.

They'd go on and on about Kobe's great athleticism, his incredible first step, his out of the gym bunnies, his strength, etc.etc.

They even used to use the same clip as an example of Kobe's strength and jumping ability, you know, the one where he gets the ball and dunks from the dotted line with one step after a semi running start. They use that as their proof that he could dunk from the ft line, as proof of his superior athleticism vs MJ.

They would say he was a better athlete than VC (which I sort of agree), say he was a better athlete than Wade (eh....) so and and so on.

And not to far ago, they claimed Kobe was as strong if not pound for pound stronger than Bron because he pushed him out of position a few times (by lowering his shoulder in a stand still Bron btw).

But NOW, the strategy changes to Kobe being an inferior athlete with disabilities, passing by on solely his skill.

Pfft.

Kobe was a great athlete, with a great first step, great flexibility and mobility with the ability to finish in traffic. He didn't have elite of the elite hops, but he was better than average.

Said that Kobe just worked really, really hard to improve his footwork and ballhandling, but that he would never be as "dominant" MJ or LeBron because he just simply wasn't as athletically freakish/imposing. That MJ and LeBron could get to the cup at will. I've even heard some of you f*ggots say that nobody respects Kobe's ability to drive to the rim.

And now all of a sudden the tables are flipped, and Kobe is comparable athletically to MJ/LeBron? Even athletically superior to guys like TMac and Vince?

It's true. Kobe was nowhere near as athletic as some of his peers. He didn't have anywhere near the same type of athletism of a Westbrook/vc/jordan/tmac/lebron etc...nor did he have the height/length advantage of a dirk/durant/kareem etc. He was merely a very good athlete. You give him the body of a Jordan or lebron and he's easily the best ever. The guy is one of the greatest overachievers ever.

[Collie]

Kobe was absolutely an elite athlete in his prime. I mean, look at the video eliteballer posted. Dunks like 0:54 or 3:02 could only be done by upper tier athletes in the NBA. Just not as quick as MJ on the drive so he couldn't get to the rim as easily.

I'd say in his athletic prime, he was close to Tmac as an athlete, but not as big.

[Indian guy]

I keep seeing T-Mac being listed as a superior athlete to Kobe. Ummm, why? Besides being a couple of inches of taller, what exactly was his edge? Maybe a slightly better 1 footed leaper, that's about it. Kobe was easily quicker, faster, more agile, coordinated, better body control and a better jumper off 2 feet.

The only SG around Kobe's height who was unequivocally better than him as an athlete was MJ. There are other guys who were better than Kobe at certain things - mainly leaping(VC, Drexler), but none possessed the overall package Kobe did.

The only part of VC's athleticism that was truly elite-level was jumping, whether it be in terms of vertical or in-air body control. He wasn't especially fast, quick, lacked lateral movement, had a good but not elite first step. As an overall athletic package I'd go as far as to say Kobe was more rounded.

Lol the OP makes Kobe look like he's Reggie Miller or worser than Steph Curry. :roll:

[Ranked 12th]

Kobe and LeBron had the same athleticism


Let's just admit it and move on

Remember this about Kobe - His stans had zero intellectual advantage.

(Same goes for stans of any kind)

Average athleticism? Lol

He may not have the physical gifts of a Lebron or Jordan but he is FAR FAR above average in athleticism.

I keep seeing T-Mac being listed as a superior athlete to Kobe. Ummm, why? Besides being a couple of inches of taller, what exactly was his edge? Maybe a slightly better 1 footed leaper, that's about it. Kobe was easily quicker, faster, more agile, coordinated, better body control and a better jumper off 2 feet.

The only SG around Kobe's height who was unequivocally better than him as an athlete was MJ. There are other guys who were better than Kobe at certain things - mainly leaping(VC, Drexler), but none possessed the overall package Kobe did.

T-Mac had a crazy wingspan for his height. His release point was very high, beautiful for a SG.

Very hard to block his shot.

T-Mac was only athletic for a few years in the NBA. After that he became slow as molasses.
