I mean he was but this is like beginner basketball lesson. We were taught this as kids, not to kick your leg back on pumpfakes. #1 it makes you slower when taking off because your adding an extra motion and #2 you arnt actually a threat to shoot like he says. A true pump fake would involve you actually taking the shot unless the defensive collapses, then you make your move, you should never be intending to pump fake, you should be pump faking with a real intention to shoot the ball.

That being said if he was caught in an awkward position, rather than passing the ball back out and setting up again there is a good chance he would shoot it anyway.

@@TrueAnakinSkywalker I'm not seeking to argue. And I can see the point you're wishing to make, with open eyes. But in that point, you yourself are acknowledging that at his core he is fundamentally sound, and in fact he was, exceptionally so. He bet on himself to make tough shots thousands of times, but that doesn't deviate away from the fact that at his core he was as fundamentally sound and as good a student of the game, as the game of basketball will ever be a witness to. There's a difference in the two messages we are conveying. Your's is based on saying he put up shots that he shouldn't have, that's fine, in a 20+ year basketball career you could consider every basketball player who has ever played even a sliver that long to be entirely un-fundamentally sound based on your same standards. I haven't seen one person to ever refrain from taking extremely difficult and perhaps risque or mathematically improbable shots in the heat of the moment. That in no way means he wasn't fundamentally sound overall. Rather that he bet on himself and found ways to be great even under duress. And again, given any opportunity to play the game in a fundamental way, he preferred to, and knew how to at an elite and masterful level.

Another demonstration of what makes Kobe Bryant such an incredible person then, now and in the future; besides his tremendous physical talent, he has so much more going for him, such as his legendary work ethic, his observational skills as we see in this clip, but also his intelligence to analyse both the strategy of the opponent in general and the tactics of each opponent during a game, as well as the ability to react to those tactics and in most cases counter them incredibly quickly, and when I say "quickly" I don't mean his great athleticism, but his mind. Like in this short film here, you can hear how smart and fast Kobe played the game in his head before he even moved his body.

Goat... 😂😂😂😂 In a team sport.... 😂😂😂.... Comparing guys that played 70 years apart from each other..... In a sport that changed rules numerous times throughout the last 70 years. How the hell do you compare Bob Petit or George Mikan to Ja Morant or Antetokounmpo? If we are talking "greatest" then it would havr to be the one who madr the sport most popular/relevant in its entirety... So Magic and Bird made it national and Jordan made it global. Thats where the story ends.... Who was the best? Impossible to say and a stupid thing to ask in the first place. Because basketball now and basketball in 1950 are two totally different sports....

Yes, whatever attribute your favorite player has is the one that determines whether he's the GOAT but the attribute the player you dislike has, that one doesn't matter. 🤡

@@Realyst heart doesn't matter? What about degree of difficulty? What about humility? What about the system you play in? What about stacking teams, trading all your players? Hopping from franchise to franchise? What about freethrow shooting? What about shrinking under pressure? None if that matters to you? I can keep going.

He was a great player, but definitely not top 3. His sudden death has caused many people to call him better than he actually was.
