Kobe Bryant is the most skilled offensive player in NBA history.

Lol at Kobe not being that physically gifted.

Seriously. Apparently because he's not at the premier, premier level of athleticism he "was never that athletic". It's absurd. People always talk about how Ray Allen was athletic and could do this and that when he was younger...and here Kobe is MORE ATHLETIC than him and talked about as...not that athletic.

A lot of shooting guards and small forwards have come in this league that have been as good or better than Kobe physically but hardly any have been even in his stratosphere as a player.

Can't believe the mods let this type of trolling go on lol.

Saying Kobe was "not that athletic" is of course stupid, but he's just not the kind of freak athlete of a Lebron or MJ or Hakeem or Barkley or Robinson...etc.

I think that is what people are saying.

Kobe's physical gifts are actually very good even on NBA standards....he's just not some freak athlete....

[Im so nba'd out]

he is the most cringe worthy player of all time.Like how many times do you have to get bitched on national tv til you stand up for yourself.

This is correct.

I fail to see how he's significantly more skilled than Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Isiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Dirk Nowitzki, and plenty of other guys far less athletic than him who were/are comparable players.

You don't understand the game of basketball if you think Kobe is inefficient.
