Why cant you label the videos?

eg Kobe Blocks Lewis

Especially with this many videos.

Get off his meat. Who understates Kobe as an athlete when referring to his athletic prime? Everyone knows he was a great athlete. Great leaper off two feet, great body control, pretty good first step.

for such a great athlete, why does he chuck a lot?

I'm a Kobe fan, and believe him to be super athletic.
However he isn't in the Jordan/Carter discussion as the best as his fluidity and control in the air is a notch below.

...Carter has no case in terms of fluidity. He didnt have a first step on the same level and his lateral quicks were nowhere near.

2 examples? Are you saying you disagree with my comment?
I can post 100 Jordan/Carter finishes that exhibit a mixture of incredible leaping ability and control. He didn't even barely jump in those shots, and I've seen those shots by other players numerous times.
They aren't all time great body control shots.

Thats my point, he isn't as good as Jordan or Carter at finshes with fluidity and total body control.
