Most aesthetic basketball players?

[Dr Hawk]

based on playstyle

MJ
Kobe
Hakeem

That's my Top3

[riseagainst]

T-mac

[CavaliersFTW]

Kyrie, Magic or Earl Monroe, MJ or Pistol Pete, Dr J, Connie Hawkins, Hakeem or Jabbar

That kind of team would play the most aesthetically pleasing and effortless looking ducking, swooping, shooting and running basketball game I can imagine.

[pauk]

Not sure, most stars especially all-time greats were all aesthetically pleasing in their own way, depends on acquired taste... Penny Hardaway however popped to my head first, smoothest game i ever seen.

[livingby3's]

Steve Nash

[MP.Trey]

George Gervin
T-Mac before the injuries
Pistol Pete
Dr. J

Maybe not a conventional choice but I love watching Isiah Thomas handle the ball, he was really ahead of his time and had a smooth pull up jumper.

Steve Francis or Baron Davis if you want to watch some And 1 streetball type shit.

:lol

[pauk]

Really? Nobody else seen prime Penny Hardaway? Dude had the smoothest game ever! He was a 6'7" Point-Guard, with post game/footwork out of this world, ballhandling, body control-agility, athleticism, scoring arsenal, court vision/passing skills, so flashy, so smooth.... just seeing him jog around looked smooth.. :P

relating to the science of aesthetics; concerned with the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty. 3. having a sense of the beautiful; characterized by a love of beauty. 4. relating to, involving, or concerned with pure emotion and sensation as opposed to pure intellectuality.

Dam this sounds like a queer thread.

[kamil]

LeBron.

Agreed. It's a beautiful thing to watch when that stiff arm is extended onto defending players. It's... almost like watching american football.

[Prometheus]

Timofey Mozgov

[ArbitraryWater]

i got it from you bro .. forgot where you posted but i remember

lol, the 93 defense thread heh


Timofey Mozgov

gawd damn... mr. worst hands in the league

[Nilocon165]

:lebronamazed: Holy fcking meltdown!!

Haha!!!

[j3lademaster]

Regular season Steph Curry, JSmoove when he's hot, MJ.

[WayOfWad3]

As far I can enjoy watching and appreciate, Kobe and Wade are pretty high up there. The ability to weave through a defense is very eye-appealing for me. Regular season Curry had a very aesthetically pleasing game. All-time? Ray Allen's jumpshot is something that I can watch on loop and it'll never get old; hard to pick a #1 overall though

[pauk]

MJ
Lebron
Magic
Bird
Hakeem

Ben Wallace

[Rocketswin2013]

Jordan. Smoothest player ever.

[KobeLookLike2Pac]

Kobe
Curry
Ray Allen

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

I'm biased... whatever:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZiK72JZpsY

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Highlights - Kobe, Rose, Melo, Kyrie

Actual Game - LeBron, Wade, Cp3

[hateraid]

I terms of esthetics, fundamentally and prototypical

PG- Mark Price,
SG- Ray Allen, Hersey Hawkins
SF- Grant Hill
PF- Rasheed Wallace
C- Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning

[KirbyPls]

Can't stand them, but Curry and Livingston have very smooth games IMO.

[Klay 3D]

Shane Battier and Tony Allen on defense no lie

[sd3035]

Jordan, Kobe, Curry, Durant, Arenas, Kyrie

[RedBlackAttack]

https://usatftw.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/ky.gif


Most aesthetically pleasing game I've seen since Jordan.

[sd3035]

If Westbrook had a nicer looking jump shot, he'd probably be at the top

[Pointguard]

Seeing games live is very different than tv... My top tier is:

Magic - so interconnected with his teammates that he could makes things materialize on the court before your brain could process it. Plays develop like military operations. You see his clarity, great decision making and superb intuition.

Jordan - you're thinking he's not going to reach the rim, he's not going to get around those three players and rise over the 7 footer... Did that Panther teleport there. Like Coltrane on the sax he's smooth and hits all these remarkable notes while getting there.

Rose - plays like he has power packs on. Fast, quick and interweaves with mathematical precision. Even the audience moves with his jukes and kids imitate it immediately. One door shuts the other can't be shut fast enough for him.

Wade - moves and attacks like a big cat. While small in stature his presence and power standout. Like all of the above you sense their will power and relish their creativity.

[hateraid]

If we're talking which are the funnest players to watch

My top 5 would be
Iverson
Magic
Tim Hardaway
Jamal Crawford
Jason White Chocolate Williams

[Height Freak]

LeBron.

Lebron's game has never been pretty to watch, also doesn't have fundamentals.

He plays playground ball.

[#number6ix#]

Wade
Ray Allen
Joe Johnson

[NBAGOAT]

steve nash must be up there. Best post guy today aesthetically is most likely al jefferson.

[kamil]

:lebronamazed: Holy fcking meltdown!!

Haha!!!

So, even mockery of your idols stiff arm is now a 'meltdown' ??

What is your IQ?

Umm... LeBron??

[OldSchoolBBall]

Jordan
Kobe
Dr. J
Tmac
Hakeem

[tmacattack33]

Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Penny Hardaway, Allen Iverson, Steph Curry

[Gougou]

Lebron thats all

[ClipperRevival]

Hakeem was by far the most fluid, agile, quick, reflexive and gumby like big I have ever seen. His movement from the waist down was like that of a guard. The most unique big ever imo.

Ditto for MJ. He was Hakeem as a guard.

Wade's offensive game might've been the smoothest ever. No wasted motion, slice through Ds with ease, the change of pace, etc.

Drexler, Erving, Kyrie also.

[JtotheIzzo]

Hakeem
Kareem

Walt Frazier
George Gervin

MJ
Magic

Ray Allen

[K.dot ShowTime]

Agreed

[Overdrive]

Eddie Jones, Penny and Grant Hill had such a smooth game. Simple lay ups looked awesome when they went for it.
