No. Higher vert, but Kobe's dunks were more agile and creative.
[QUOTE=Smoke117]Why should we care or fear if Ron Artest is in basketball shape. I mean jesus christ has one guy ever been more overrated. He was overrated defensively in his prime and he was MASSIVELY OVERRATED OFFENSIVELY. Ron Artest has not had ONE EFFICIENT SEASON HIS WHOLE GOD DAMN CAREER. The guy has always thought he was ****ing Michael Jordan out there. He could never shoot, he was always slow, he couldn't drive, about the only thing he could do is THINK HE COULD DO ALL THESE THINGS. He was NEVER quick and now he's just getting up in age and now he's actually in shape and we are supposed to shudder, give me a god damn break. Ron Artest was always just a media whore who made a name for himself through that medium. He was never a special player.[/QUOTE]
I don't agree at all, I think ron is a solid starter that many teams could use. He has been slow and his game has been off because of his foot injury but he will be very useful this year because he can hold his own defensively against many of the league's best players

Thats borderline average, that isn't decent when put altogether. Ron Artest was never a scorer, but he sure as hell thought he was.
Kobe > Jordan.

Let's be real. Every season we read or hear that some player who is either coming off a major injury or is getting older is supposedly in "his best shape in years." How often is that actually the case?

Please , please explain to me how Artest isn't in the best shape in years? How much proof do you need?
You hear interviews of players playing with and against Artest
The stats back it up (after the allstar break and playoffs)
Pictures of Artest
Game footage of Artest
All things point to the fact that he's in great shape. Better shape than he has been in years. We'll see how it all translate coming this season but he's put in work the past few months and the proof is right there.

Long practices but getting a ton of work done. I had a lil tendon issue in my foot that kept me sidelined for 2 days but I'm full speed ahead once again.
Our timing with one another gets better by the day and DH is good to go on full contact. I'm tired and sore but that kind of pain feels good especially when you know what's at stake.
As far as retirement, I'm not sure how many years I have left but know this: IF and When I announce my retirement, I will do so directly to you first. Let's focus on getting this season taken care of. It should be a fun one. I feel strong, light and quick. I can't wait till Oct 31.
It's on.
