Better natural athlete Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen or Larry Hughes?

[IGOTGAME]

you pick who was born more naturally physically gifted?

[iDunk]

1. Kobe Bryant
2. Larry Hughes
3. Ray Allen

If you ever looked at Allen's body he's RIPPED and by that I mean ripped. The guy works on his body a lot, so its not natural. Larry back then made his dunks look easy, and Kobe.. well he's Kobe.

Pretty much. I'd like to known what posters compared these players. I have a hunch at who they could be.

[bleedinpurpleTwo]

ray allen? really not even in their class.

[BallersTalk]

Ray Allen is a very underrated athlete. All those players in their primes are very comparable. It's not like Kobe is an out-of-this-world athlete in the mold of Carter, LeBron, T-Mac, or Jordan.

(I recognize the OP is a troll account. I'll just feed the troll then.)

People are confusing athleticism with skills. Kobe is a far more skilled player than both Allen and Hughes. He's also much more creative than the other two. But there's nothing he could do that they couldn't. Kobe wasn't even that great of a leaper. On average he probably jumped at 35" with 38" being his absolute max running vertical. Guys like Vince, Jordan, LeBron, etc.. all recorded 40+ inch verticals.

I'll just quote Kobe:

"Don't even put me and dude in the same breath," he told a reporter

I think the OP is that one Kobe homer polluting the internet under multiple aliases.

what so your saying god granted Ray Allen and Kobe the same natural gifts and Kobe worked on his skills in order to become a much better player? thats insane, Ray Allen is susposed to have a legendary work ethic, am I missing something?

Is Ray underachieving or is Kobe just squeezing every once out of talent and working harder then Ray?

[BallersTalk]

The only real advantage Kobe has over Allen in terms of athleticism is a noticeably longer wingspan. Quickness, raw end-to-end speed, and leaping ability are all relatively even. Kobe may have a slight advantage in body control and coordination. That's about it. The reason Kobe's as good as he is isn't because of natural gifts. He had to work for everything he has. I don't get why Kobe homers think this is a knock on Kobe. It's a compliment if anything.

so your saying that Kobe outworked Ray Allen by that much, is that possible?

Kobe must be one of the hardest workers ever because Ray Allen is no slouch?

If Ray Allen cared as much about the game as Kobe could he has been better? as good as Kobe?
