I remember when he worked out with Hakeem.. and how Lebron said he like Kobe post up and fade away.. next thing you know Lebron was working with Hakeem.

A lot of people don't know or fail to realize that kobe was actually a power house. He was definitely one of the stronger payers in the NBA. Matt Barnes, Mikael pietrus, Paul Pierce, went on record in the past saying they couldn't guard him one on one because of his strength speed and skill. He did also back LBJ and Melo down in the paint. That should speak loud enough as a testament of how strong he was on top of his untouchable footwork.

His post up work is not the same like those of the big men, he doesn't attack the rim at all he takes the floor only so he can make space for his fadeaway jumper which is actually a perimeter shot. He never posts up in the low post where usualy big men do and why would he, he is a shooting guard positng up in mid post or high post. Kobe's post up is so boring and obvious 90% of it finishes with his famous fadeaway jump shot. If you want to see some real post up work watch the guys like Pau Gasol, Lamarcus Aldridge, Mark Gasol etc. Al Jefferson and Roy Hibbert also had some really good low post moves few years back.

kobe has mastered every fade you can think of, even added some of his own moves.

That's one thing I've always thought to myself, Lebron's strength is greatly overrated. Hell Kobe at his peak physical for was stronger than basically every guard in the league. The difference is that Lebron's strength comes from driving into the paint and knocking defenders away in the process. To be fair alot of that bulldozing should be called as offensive fouls. Kobe was strong enough to not only back Lebron down, but guard him physically whenever he wanted to. Unfortunately people have forgotten how great Kobe was due to his last couple of injury plagued seasons.

Kobe isn't 6'7 dude, lol. He is actually just 6'4 in real life without shoes. But with shoes he is obviously about 6'6. He is lean and has an elongated look that makes him seem taller than he is. Lebron is about 6'7 + without shoes, so his NBA listed height is closer to his real height. Remember Kobe also lost a lot of weight over the last couple of years, but it's still impressive that he maintained his strength, it's really all about having a strong core.

Kobe was always strong and in his younger days very explosive. To think out of all the players that were drafted in the late 90s early 2000s that tried to be "Like Mike," kobe was the only one who managed to pull it off despite the fact that he wasn't even the most physically gifted SG in that mold. T-Mac and Vince both had height advantages(vince less than T-Mac), longer wingspans, and bigger hands than kobe and they were also more explosive than Kobe who was unbelievably athletic in his own regard. Hell, even MJ was a bit more gifted physically, despite being the same height MJ has broader shoulders, longer arms and bigger hands. His willpower and the fact that he willed his way even through broken fingers at times made him so great.

Kobe was a genius . He did it just like Mike did ! When he got further along in his career he went to the post moves . Fade aways after a little shimmy shake, cant stop it !

His baseline fade away is the most perfected move in the NBA.

like kobe, i grew up idolizing jordan in the 90s. i have the same moves as jordan. i'm 40 yrs old now and i still post up against big dudes and i still got my fade away. kobe was 1 of many from our generation around the world who tried to be like mike. he was the best of us jordan wannabes. miss him. RIP

Seeing stuff like this is IMO why he's one of the best. I mean, compare him to the other big names during his time in the league. Vince Carter, Melo, LBJ, Durant... all better physical specimens, all stronger, faster, etc. Yet Kobe countered all that by having a complete skill set, great footwork, great post up, the ability to shoot with either hand. He's also a under-rated passer because he was a "shooter", yet I believe he's actually top 10 for his position in assists?! He's a lockdown defender when he really wants to be and goes at it. I remember that Olympics team where he asked to be put on the opposing teams best scorer and took a backseat to the others on the offensive end. He shutdown everyone he faced, all these players that were high scorer's in the Olympics and I think only one of them scored over 15?

Most unstoppable offensive force since Jordan.

Still couldnt believe hes gone 😭

I resent very much how everyone says he "copied" Jordan. It's offensive and disrespectful to how hard he worked to be as skillful and fundamentally sound as he was. You cannot simply copy someone, that kinda shit comes naturally. You actually think kobe dribbles up the court saying 'alright, this situation looks ideal to do that move Jordan did' - nigga, the man is just a genius and knows how to adjust his body for the shot at hand. He's a beast! He's a mamba!

There's a video showing the parallels between Kobe and Jordan, not just how the moves are completely identical, but even the mannerisms and celebrations are identical. People don't point out the similarities because they're being offensive douchebags, they point it out because it's clearly there, and he's clearly learned a lot from Jordan. There's no shame in saying he took a lot from the best, it's just being a good student.

kobe using what he learned from Hakeem..... good student

The best post up footwork in the game. I can't believe he's already retired. Mamba GOAT.

Some guys just fall from the stars or come from another planet like Krypton, Superman. ANY side of the court or hand-Any defender bigger or smaller It matters not.
