    I'm pretty sure the whole narrative is about sending him left being a lower percentage option than allowing him to go right. All those highlights if there are any dribbles left its 1 or 2 max. Plenty of those are him dribbling right and finishing a layup left handed. I'd hope the goat could make a layup with his left hand geez. And this shit about Kobe is ridiculous. I've never really been as big a fan of kobe as I was of Mike but one thing you cant deny Kobe was just as skilled and imo more skilled than Mike. Kobe is one the short list of most skilled ever....above Mike. Reasoning? Mike was blessed with more athletic ability than Kobe and usually one move or sometimes no moves were enough to get by his man. If you watched Kobe he'd sometimes use counters just to beat the 1st defender and definitely use them on the next 3 to 4 in his way. Mike's athleticism gap over his peers allowed him to improvise more than Kobes more methodical approach. Just my 2 cents.

    Yeah Kobe really had to develop certain counters to make up for the physical gap between himself and MJ. I note with MJ that his counters seemed more instinctive whereas with Kobe, it was like he does certain moves to goad the defender into a particular reaction, so he's already got the counter to that reaction lined up. MJ definitely got more height off the ground on this jumpshot, so he didn't do alot of the shot-pump fakes Kobe needed to get off. Kobe was more skilled using the dribble to get separation, MJ used his body more with head/shoulder fakes and shimmies, and his hand size allowed him to manipulate the ball in ways Kobe simply couldn't.

    Another angle of this play as well as your own shows how major a double dribble that was. Dude totally picked the ball up and then just put it back down. Thats why the defenders were so out of place when he specifically did that.

    You don't know about basketball and can't play, so be quiet. You have no ideas what you're talking about

    The best ball-handlers of all-time copied this move

    Case closed.. your "never played" opinion holds no water here .. Maybe stick to the numbers and let real ballers discuss the actual game..

    And btw, I could spend all day posting GOAT left hand drives by MJ because he had the goat in left hand (drive or shot-making)

    Look when his back is turned. He was literally holding the ball and pausing... and then threw it back down when the defenders saw he picked his dribble up. Curry did that once too I remember Kblaze had a gif of it. That was a double dribble too.

    Tell me to be quiet? You a funny one. Would get slapped in person for real boy.

    Cliff notes:

    you weren't suppose to mention the double dribble

    I'm here in Vegas... Let me know when you're here so you can slap me

    You've made it obvious that you don't know the game... You didn't make the team and you've been bitter ever since

    you make a play like that though, the refs ain't calling that shit. that type of move is a "let em play, carry on" type of situation.

    Only if youre Mike. Or another superstar. A scrub would get called for that the second he put the ball back down.

    Its actually kinda crazy though. How can somebody thats 6'7 and blessed with great athleticism only be a college bench scrub? That is further than I got, but I didn't have those gifts. Your skills must be straight trash.

    You're only big on the outside. On the inside youre a tiny little man. I'm big on the outside too though brother. And this ain't about basketball.
