Footwork is back
Footwork is one of the facets of the game that is often mentioned when describing how a previous generation of ballers was superior to the young guys of today's game.
However, a lot of up-and-coming players have their footwork drilled to an amazing level.
In fact, from last year's draft KAT and Okafor already have some of the best footwork in the league for bigs, and D'Angelo Russell has crazy good footwork for a young guard. Even if he never becomes a star player, he's under control, playing heads-up probing offense, and can gets his J off from anywhere. That's the kinda point you need.
When I get home tonight I might post some footwork .gifs
Who else should be included when discussing young ballers with great footwork?

That statement that guys have bad footwork is all in relation to Lebron...guys like Duncan, kobe, Wade, CP3 etcera have always had tremendous footwork.

It's also a shot at Dwight and a bunch of guys that ended up as busts. I remember watching Bargnani Use the wrong pivot foot multiple times.

I wouldn't say that's one of his biggest strengths. He's an all-time great shooter, and the best shooter ever for his length, but I don't think he has all-time great footwork.
Melo has better footwork than KD. Dirk too.

Re: Footwork is back
Kyrie has great footwork to go along with his handles.
I can't find it now but I remember him doing what was basically a dream shake at least once a few seasons back.
Rondo used to do it a lot too, although I haven't watched him much in recent years.
