No travels,carrys, or flops spotted. Just pure footwork and spontaneous creativity. I’ll never have any current players playing over Kobe

[@tactical_ghost199]

Lebron

[@Chris_M5]

Ignoring everything else because I’m not gonna start an argument, he carries on every single dribble. Altering the balls path and causing it to stop in your hand is a carry, which is what every player does when they dribble with their hand on the side of the ball. This is never called, but it’s still mentioned in Section II (c) (2) of the rulebook. More commonly, a carry is done when players hand is below the plane of the ball. As seen in the very first clip of the video, on Kobe’s first dribble he brings the ball to a stop with his and underneath the ball and keeps dribbling. This is also back in 1998, when this was still practically a rule, so it’s unarguably a violation. Whether you think Kobe is better than any current player or not, it is clear that rules are still being violated. Once again, I don’t want to argue, I only bring it up because you explicitly stated that he does not carry the ball, and he most definitely does.

[@GingeryGinger]

@@Chris_M5people who they don’t want to argue are usually just afraid of backing up what they’re saying.

[@Chris_M5]

@@GingeryGinger Or maybe, everything I said is objective and entirely backed by the video that is being commented on. I made sure to not put any of my opinion in it because people in comment sections are stupid and arguing is a waste of time :)

1:04 See Lakers no.14 player? His defender didn't even bother to defend him because he knew what sort of character Kobe Bryant was and how he never passed. Kobe saw that he was wide open multiple times but decided he wanted to take the glory and left his teammate, standing there motionless, while he took a selfish and difficult shot to add to his reputation. In fact, most of the difficult shots Kobe took had one of his teammates wide open and ready for a open shot but Kobe selfishly declined to pass and decided to shot himself.
