55. "honestly, I've watched most of his career" In response to Reply # 1
and his game still baffles me. Someone on here described him as "making everything look harder than it is." That's a pretty good description. On the other hand, he's not bad at anything really. Or at least he wasn't until very recently. He's sorta quietly had one of the best all-around games in the league for a long time, but if you just looked at him you would never tell. I know he's athletic because you have to be at that level, but he's never looked it.
His mechanics are really unorthodox, so even when he makes a great play it just looks awkward. But his numbers are undeniable and he's one of the most clutch players of his generation.

not saying he's not talented, but he's used all the tricks of the trade to have a LONG career making hella bread while possessing very little of the athleticism that makes most nba'ers successful.

He'll end up with an outstanding all around career

he was always around the rim somehow and had a nice drive to the bucket.
he wasn't just hanging around the perimeter shooting jumpers, dude was all over the court
Ginobili has better handle and could dunk, but he reminds me of that pesky ass dude who fuck around score and everyone looking around like "who had him?"

Manu Ginobli is a slasher supreme who has developed a long range game, but the long range game evolved secondary to the slashing
Hornacek, like many good jumpshooters, was the opposite
Just stop it.

Kobe had minimal lift three years ago because he had no cartilage in his right knew..after the platelet therapy in Germany, his lift and movement (as you commented on) have been very good. He shows it consistently on his jumper (like you said) and elevates to the rim when he wants to (I mean dude threw down a nasty dunk on Gerald Wallace and Humphries a couple weeks ago).

"I didnt finish a damn thing...matter of fact I jerked off after she left." -Kobe speaking to investigators
Flustered, Patrick then asked Love "Well, who is the toughest player to deal with?"
Love quickly responded; "Tim Duncan".
Love then told a story about how Duncan had hit a bank shot over him. As Love was running down the court, he muttered to himself "What am I going to do about that?".
Duncan overheard Love and said; "There's nothing you can do about that, son."
Patrick seemed floored after this. Imagine that. A player with 4 rings, 3 Finals MVPs, 2 MVPs, and 9 1st team, All-NBAs as good as two players with a combined 3 rings, 0 Finals MVPs, 1 MVPs, and 8 1st-team, All-NBAs.
Imagine that?
And Kobe has even been in the NBA longer than Duncan.
A little later, a still flustered Patrick was shocked to hear that the Pro Bowl got higher ratings than the Kobe-Lebron love fest.

Exactly
deliberate movements
Guys can play above the rim and have excellent quick first steps and have old man games

Ain't no young point guards coming into the league scoring off post ups and tear drops, which was practically the only way Mark scored since he was slow and couldn't really shoot.

they're old, past their prime, but they don't have "old man game."
andre miller, he has old man game. old people don't dunk. stop being so okayplayery and talk about sports! if kobe/pierce/duncan have "old man game" what style does "the marine" or the average OKP play?
O_E you commented on Nash's dribbling in circles as NOT old man game...but dunking is?
66. "old man game compared to nba players with bounce...got it" In response to Reply # 65 Fri Feb-22-13 03:02 AM by TRENDone
taking the wide open lay-up instead of yamming it...gotcha
using the 90% mental instead of the 10% physical...got it
me setting a screen for a youngsta so he can hit an open j off a curl instead of forcing it and driving to the cup myself assuming my athleticism (or lack there of) will get my team a bucket...got it

i've played pick-up 4 times this week. about to go right now which makes it #5. from teenagers to girls on the college team to grown men in their 50s. i'm not even raw or even on the level of "the marine" but i think i have an idea what "old man game" in real life is...
had a good discussion with another msg board and people i hoop with about "old man game." my definition has evolved. thanks for the kick in the ass, okp.
