Re: Is Kobe the best baseline dunker in the history of the sport?
the combination of elite first step, acceleration, body control and coordination in air, aesthetics to pull something like that off consistnetly is not within the repertoir of players like Lebron James
objectively speaking

Those baseline dunks where he arches his back while moving away from the rim are impressive. Not many people who have that type of flexibility

I'm very fortunate to have seen this guy's whole career. Most people on this site weren't even sperm yet in 1996...some of them his greatest haters. It will be a huge blow to the sport when he retires. Originally Posted by IGOTGAME

Once you say "aesthetically pleasing" you can kinda spare yourself "2 watch", Fresh Boy. Originally Posted by aboss4real24

Re: Is Kobe the best baseline dunker in the history of the sport?
kobe's baseline dunks are nice, but he can't do them very often compared to jordan.
jordan didn't need the perfect drive to do a reverse every time, because he had the athletic ability to overpower defenders much better than kobe, so he was dunking literally two and three times more frequently just doing regular dunks on the baseline over guys.
you'll never see kobe dunk on the baseline over defenders as efficiently or as easily as Jordan.
it's not even close.... but carry on...
