    I'm pointing out what you said, that Kobe can use his postgame to get to the basket where Jordan's post-game only resulted in fadeaways and jumpers. So in a sense, that's exactly what your earlier comment alluded to whether you meant it to or not.

    Shaq n Hakeem dont have similiar post games because Hakeem lacked size and strengh.

    Fact is both Hakeem n Kobe had/have to do more in the post because both lacked "natural athletic advantages"

    Jordan made zones looks like child's play. Jordan was just better at everything than Kobe.

    Except Hakeem was one of the most athletic and graceful bigmen to play the game. The point remains, using Shaq and Hakeem as an analogy for Jordan and Kobe in the post fails at the most basic level of logic because the former two don't have similar post-games to begin with. Jordan and Kobe have similar bodies and physical traits, and similar stylistically in the post. Yes Jordan was overall the more explosive athlete but going by your logic, he physically overwhelmed guys in the post( I'm assuming that's where your Shaq comment comes in) but he didn't. His post ability was as much a product of skill and fundamentals as Kobe is.

    Traditional Zones didn't exist back then. It would be called illegal defense and if you get two of those, it becomes a free throw.

    LOL @ MJ breaking down zones.

    Jordan was the zone buster. Now a days big men aren't allowed to camp. So it's much easier for guards to penetrate. You don't have a Dikembe or Ewing down there, contesting all your shots.

    Watch the video. The Bulls and the Knicks are playing the zone.

    "A recent memory is Kobe destroying Crawford in the post for a dunk. Last night he almost got one off the post as well. [B] Kobe's post game allows him to get to the basket where MJ was purely to get his fade and jumper on."

    You mean like what Jordan did at 2:43? Seriously....
    Ignore him...Thats why I have him on ignore..he's a ridiculous Kobe stan and nothing he says should be taken seriously...

    @ "traditional" zones didn't exist back then. How is something that was just created, due to the Shaq rules, traditional???

    Now a days, big men can't protect the paint like back then. The zone of today's era was created to nullify that rule change.
