You seriously think that was quicker than the Jordan one?

Much quicker actually. The only way I could see anyone thinking other wise would be if they were including the time Kobe stood still with the ball in comparison to Jordan executing immediately. That isn't part of the move.

So youre saying "didn't find a suitable existing move and created one on the fly" does not mean the same as instinct?


Please tell me what's the difference between the two?

Does Jordan know how to pivot? Yes.
Does he know how to spin backwards? Yes.
Does he know that he needs to keep the ball away from the defender? Yes.
Does he know where the basket is and where other nearby defenders are? Yes.

Creating a move says nothing about whether or not it was instinctive.

Comparing who is using a higher level of consciousness to perform their moves (which is what "instinctive" means in this case) is what I stated would require mind reading.

Your initial argument saying Kobe has better footwork or skills is flawed as well. Answer my question. Why does Kobe doing more moves to get his shot off be considered more "skillful" than a far more efficient MJ?

Answer my question first. When did I say Kobe was more skilled?

22 years ago --> MJ footwork against DJ (1989)

Kobe could do this move very quickly, this one is quicker than the particular one in your link -

I'm assuming you are referring to the finish and not the drive? (I'm assuming because a large portion of the NBA can dribble almost as well with their off hand as their good one)
If so, Kobe has quite a few fluid looking left handed finishes around the rim, but Jordan in general looks more fluid than anyone else really left or right.

Here is a move Bryant does a lot that I found of Jordan

Look at how he controls the ball lefthanded --> MJ lefthanded And1

That's because Mj has mits hands. Also thanks for uploading these new woodwork vids. I always wanted to see a woodwork mix of Mj.96-98 had some crazy footwork

His Footwork Is One of The Best (if not THE BEST) in The Game

Now I'm 100% sure Laker/Kobe fans talk more about Lebron than anyone else. Stop jockriding, you guys cant even compliment one player without sending a shot at another.

Both Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin McHale had better footwork than Kobe Bryant. I seriously doubt if Kobe would take pointers from The Dream if his footwork was already superior. -__-

for all his great footwork, you'd think he'd routinely set himself up for easy looks. great footwork, but his dumb shot selection cancels it out.
