Personally, I get it. I mean, I can't stand watching Iverson and Harden play. I also straight up don't find SGA enjoyable to watch. But of course, I've been Curry pilled as a warriors fan for life. So my whole view of basketball as entertainment is permanently fucked lol. It might sound weird, but I find the most enjoyment from watching players that are borderline humorous outliers at skills or physiques, or I like to watch high end polish of fundamentals. I find Wemby super entertaining, I think watching Shaq is hilarious, MJ is near upsettingly perfect fundamentally with elite athleticism and I find it fun to see how much of his tendencies are reflected in the modern game, and on the W, I adore Caitlin Clark since I'm a massive Curry fan, I think A'ja Wilson is the most complete big to pick up a basketball since Tim Duncan (and she might even be more skilled with her dribbling improvements low-key), I find Paige Bueckers to be thoroughly satisfying to watch with her combination of size and refinement.
I can understand how people might not find Kobe entertaining in the same way not everyone finds Melo entertaining. He's a bucket, you can't deny that combination of skill and IQ, but watching Kobe shoot the same fadeaway, from the same couple places, and get the same basket cuts, idk, there's almost a clinical sensibility to his film. It's kinda like how Jerry Rice ran routes. There's not much in terms of crazy moves, it's just knowing the right one or two moves every damn time and creating just enough space. I'd much rather watch the freight train Greek Wilt Giannis bulldoze through the lane and dunk on a 7 footer than watch Kobe Tom Brady dink and dunk to 50. It's clinical, it's fundamentally sound, and even if the decisions are selfish in some years, Kobe more often than not made the decisions right anyway.
Me neither 😢
That's what the game was at the time. Guys like kobe, shaq, vince, garnett, even duncan. They all played with either a technicality or a ferocity fitting to the times. Now it's become a lot more finesse/graceful. The closest you'll get to that type of ferocity today is westbrook or ant man sometimes.
I see what he's saying. Not saying others don't train but Kobe PLAYED like he trained all day doing that move over and over down to a tee. The others like Melo, KD, etc. had some grace to it a little more off the cuff
Two things: the word that you're looking for regarding Kobe is 'forced". The other thing is that you guys should figure out how to get somebody to post pictures that you reference especially if you're you're looking at these pictures of items or things off camera… It could be really simple just like Joe Rogan and Jamie. Or you can do it in post.. add a picture somewhere on the screen above you guys under you guys in a corner of whatever shoe or item your referencing. As good as you guys are… And you're good at this podcast thing, that's a for sure improvement.
He Saying It Always Looked Like Kobe Was Getting Clamped Before He Scored Which Was Facts 😂 He Made The Craziest Contested Shots
Tf he talking about, Kobe’s game was fluid and of the most aesthetically pleasing moves ever. Straight up hater
Clown take 🤡🤡👎🏼 if Kobe played like this guy talks he wouldn't accomplish anything
I don’t know why I completely understand what he’s saying
😂😂😂 LBJ is not even graceful. Kobe have better motion and artistry than LBJ. Kobe was slam dunk champ. Come on now Jeff
Teague is stupid he should watch number 8 kobe lol
Yall intro unbeatable
To me it’s the opposite, he used to glide and even if he was blanketed, he would make it look so smooth. To me LeBrons game is more workman like. But to each their own.
Interestingly, the ‘smooth’ players like TMac, Melo and even KD, are much less effective when it counts (playoffs.) (Not counting KD on the greatest team ever).
It's because his basketball was chess and not mindless shake and bake
KOBE WAS A BALL HOGG!!!!
Ik what he mean tho with the windmill. Like that shit hard to explain without sounding disrespectful. It's like he was forcing everything like he was tryin way too hard or something. Like he didn't let the game come to him idk like on some selfish little kid shit but no disrespect tho everything sound like we hatin 😂
Kobe mastered the footwork to get shots up that was heavily guarded by the opps… don’t hate that you don’t understand Kobe’s game
unwatchable. made me stop being a Laker fan.
Teague saying that Kobe was a sweat and a try hard he need to cool it 😂😂💀💀💀
mr jeff teague. please invite Ricky rubio in your podcast!! that will be a real cool! will be a blast!!
Jeff Teague speaks the truth. Kobe always tried too hard. But he was sick like that.
Kobe a spitting image of MJ that’s how you know Teague hating like crazy
So he liked watching soft sh**. This a terrible opinion clearly didn’t watch Kobe because HE made it look easy
I thought Kobe made it look easy damn
Garbage podcast horrible takes never watching
I definitely dont agree with teague on dis
If Kobe was still alive, he wouldn't have made this statement. Guaranteed!
The Ja Morant reference 😂😂
Yo when you think about it Teague ain’t lying that’s crazy his game wasn’t fluid
Young kobe or older kobe
Melo?
I feel him. Kobe didn’t let the rhythm of the game just come to him, he just went out there and took it. MJ said it in the last dance. That’s what made Kobe who he was though.
Plenty of video evidence that proves Teague is trippin 😂
Too complicated for a small mind
Yea , coming from a player who took his last years off as a joke at Milwaukee. Gtfoh. Wassup with these jabroni ass nigggazzzz tryna see Compton
Diss made no sense. Lol kobe moves were some of the greatest
Kobe didn’t make it look effortless
B Hen is outta pocket 😂😂
