Is Kobe Bryant the best difficult shot maker in league history?

[TannerOwnsDevin]

i cant think of anyone right now that rivals kobe when it comes to making extremely difficult shots whether by slashing to the basket, twisting his body in mid air, double pump reverse dunks, making an off balance jumper with 2-3 defenders in his face, coupled with fantastic footwork... etc


is there anyone in league history better than kobe when it comes to making difficult shots? if so please do state his name...

I can't think of one off the top of my head except maybe MJ.

no one short of jordan really compared to kobes ability to hit incredible shots

[Raps18-19 Champ]

MJ can do all that.

[djeller1139]

Once he does this or this

[TannerOwnsDevin]

MJ can do all that.

I dont think MJ has the ballhandling and footwork skills of MJ. He also doesnt have Kobe's range.

[bal_ravens]

Yeah Michael Jordan has done just as much and more.

There are also things that MJ has done that Kobe hasn't yet.

It's about balancing out.

MJ is also pretty good at ball handling.

You people are forgetting Bargnani and Bynum.

Nique threw up some of the dumbest shots Ive ever seen a slasher take, yet he shoots a high %. I dont see him hit many of them but Ive only seen like maybe 10% of his games throughout his career. If the guys attempting hard as flip shots in the paint, and shooting a high% I can only assume hes making a few of them.

Nash has hit some absurdly tough shots over his career. Tmac and Vince in their heyday shot from distance almost effortlessly, but Tmac developed a horrible habit of taking contested jumpers in 03-04, before then it wasnt as bad but as his athletic ability waned he wasnt able to maintain his efficiency.

I saw this mix the other day where it showed all of Tmac facial j's and I wonder if it all got to his head.

why are the options one sided?
absolutely and Not even close

there should be a: hes one of the best option
or something of the sort

I think it's pretty obvious that MJ has the footwork and ballhandling of himself, honestly.

Yeah Vince is another good one, T-Mac too.

[TannerOwnsDevin]

agree, i think a healthy tmac would've rivaled kobe easily, sad how injuries destroys his career.
