Are we gonna act like 37 year olds can't be top 20 players in the NBA?

Kobe COULD be a much better player right now than he is - altho not top 20 obviously.

But he thinks it isnt "alpha" enough to have an unremarkable statline and just fit in as part of the team.

Instead hes still seeking attention and putting up remarkable statlines - except theyre remarkable in all the wrong ways.

But, hey... Thats kobe for ya.

would be careful to say this. compare how dirk and kobe are playing. kobe is still 10x more flexible and agile than dirk. kobe can still drive with high speed to the basket, he still can dribble, he still can jump high while shooting. his shots are just not falling and he is taking many stupid shots.

how many achilles has dirk blown out?



this doesnt even deserve explanation

7 footers who can shoot dont need agility and quickness, they can just be a tree that can take uncontested jumpers due to their release

kobe doesn't have the luxary of being able to release over his head and never be contested...shooting guards need athleticism to gain separation for an uncontested shot

when athletes get into their late 30's they lose athleticism

when anyone blows out their achiles they have a hard time doing anything physical again

these two reasons are why kobe cannot perform like he used to anymore

if you learned anything new in this post you are legit retarded AF

The difference is night and day. Notice how Dirk makes all the correct plays. Passes when he needs to and only takes high percentage shots. Current homeboy is on a quest to put on the most grotesque statistical season in the history of basketball.

Please don't take away something from Dirk's legacy for just been tall. The fact that Dirk can still play the game at high level is not only because he is tall or can shoot overhead. Dirk is very foundamentaly sound player with great shot (he is better shooter than Kobe) who do the things he could for years not much more, not much less. And it is not an easy task to keep big body in shape when you are that age (37).

When did Dirk tear an Achilles and his rotator cuff?

[AirFederer]

Seriously and not based on the last three years; I'd take Dirk over Kobe to start my franchise.

Look at what Dirk did without much help

[Teanett]

it's even more amazing after seeing him in this years euro championships, when he looked done for good.

Name the guards who have played 20 seasons while going to 7 finals and multiple olympic appearances.

PWNED.
