Dude was splitting two defenders and doing 180 tomahawk jams. I dont know what highlights people are seeing but from what I saw dude was great athletically.
I hear people call Kobe unathletic all the time and I am thinking WTF. He has been one of the most athletic swingmen since he entered the league. Athletisism is not just vertical leap(although he has a nice vertical leap too).

Ok i got you.

No.
Bayless-Quick Undersized SG w/good ballhandling
As I said,Barbosa is more accurate of what he will become in the NBA but Bayless has more hops than Barbosa

you co-signed a guys post where he says he'd take bayless over any other freshman guard
another proof that you're an ignoramus.

Because OJ should've gone to Duke,which would have put him on a bigger national level where more people could see him play on the East Coast and on the West Coast as well.
OJ also would have gotten great coaching on how to play in a system and he would have learned better shot selection while playing the SG rather than playing PG.
or........
OJ should've gone to St.Johns where he could play in NYC and he would get the ball more than Beasley gets the ball at K-State,not to mention he would be the catalyst to put St.Johns back on the map in college basketball.
St.Johns last hope I think is to get Lance Stephenson.

STFU ******,I agreed with the statement because Bayless has been better than any other Freshman Guard.
But I do not believe his pro potential is as good as Rose or Mayo's where I think both could make numerous All Star Games

Gordon has not been more important to Indiana than Bayless has to Arizona.
Indiana looked like a solid team anyways this season without Gordon and they would've been 15-1 at this point without Gordon.
Just look at there schedule to this point.

just checking up does he actually read posts he cosigns:) since he doesn't consider kobe bryant a great athlete
honestly, i haven't seen enough to really have a legit opinion. i like gordon the most from what he is showing right now, but IMO he has the least upside too.

i agree with you about the kobe thing - he has def shown himself to be a great athlete...and if you don't have enough background to have a legit opinion, why comment about it?...i do agree with you about gordon's upside, however...

Re: Derrick Rose or OJ Mayo or Michael Beasley
I have to assume that by "not a great" athlete he meant that Kobe was not a guy that depended on his athleticism the way a kat like Derrick Rose does.
Kobe's athletic ability was a plus to his skillset while athleticism is Derrick's skillset.
