zach lavine is the closest thing we've seen in comparison to young kobe
frame, athleticism, range and excitement
Sell.
I dont see the footwork, the skillset nor the defense.
But he does get buckets
in terms of the whole package he seems like the closest comparison. his size, his ball handling ability, high scoring, dunking, shooting range etc.
since you sell on him being the closest comparison to a young kobe, who would you say is the closest comparison? in terms of everything. from body to athleticism to play style.
Hm. That's a good question. The game is so different now with the 3 ball being so prevalent. Kobe only had a 3PAr over 30% twice.
But I'd go with Paul George? _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!!

I see more Kobe in Tatum then I do with LaVine.
Thought the same exact thing for 3 quarters when I was watching the game on Sunday. Diff between mamba and the rest is that Tatum took foot off the gas in the 4th.

I know it's fun to dog on Kawhi and PG and anything Clippers. Cuz I'm all for it. Haha. But a healthy PG would probably be the closest IMO.
Who would you peg for the spot if trying to answer OP's question of "closest comparison?" _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!!
thats y i say you gotta take into account everything when determining the closest comparison (which still wont be very close) once you say a 6'9" guy thats immediately disqualified!! _________________ Kobe Forever

Yea, I like Tatum's footwork and mentality.
But he doesn't have the grace that a smaller Kobe had. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!!

People need to stop trying to compare people with Kobe. Every year it's another player and every year that player falls woefully short.
Remember when everyone said Kyrie is the embodiment of Kobe? Sure playstyle he kinda is, but mentally? Not even close.
And speaking of mental deficiencies ... *looks at Paul George*
yea i want to apologize first and foremost let it be known nobody can truly be compared to kobe. thats one of a kind. all i was thinking is who would be considered the closest that you could draw the most similarities from. we know kobe had the whole package so cus of that nobody can come close, i was just thinking is there anybody that kinda reminds you on the court from the visual test. i thought of lavine(who is damn sure not kobe and will never be) being someone who kinda reminds me at times. _________________ Kobe Forever

Bruh. Of course it's riculous.
But OP asked the question.
If you got nothing to add, then just skip the question man.
I should have taken that advice myself haha.
i hope nobody ever forgets how incredible he was. imo easily the most spectacular player of all time. the way he could get so hot and just kill you from the perimeter, then go in and dunk on you, then shut down other team's best player, then do something crazy like hit a 40 foot fallaway 3, or shot over the backboard, or left handed corner 3. just amazing
Lavine is an athletic freak who doesn't affect actual wins. He plays no defense either.
It is possible that Lavine will start to figure it out at some point. I felt the same way about TMac at one point, but he started to figure it out around the middle of his career, just before the injuries derailed him.

He has all the athletic tools to be a good defender. Just no effort or care on that end. Is that correctable? Maybe. Maybe not. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Very true...I remember there was talk back in the day of trading Glen Rice for TMac when he was in Toronto...I loved Rice and was opposed. Instead that off season they traded Rice in a 4 way to NY that netted us Horace Grant. Just think if we would have landed TMac with Kobe and Shaq...OMG!
Kawhi is the closest to Kobe. Still very far away offensively, skill wise.
Big LaVine fan. I believe in his development. At the height of his career he will be a top 10 player in this league. But that man ain't no Kobe.
Things he lacks: Footwork(Kobe is the GOAT), post game, mid range, passing. Defense(Kobe was the best in the league when dialed in).
What Kobe did, what he was, it's a lost art. Nowadays guys are content with just being able to shoot it well.
I'm so disappointed we didn't draft LaVine. I think he's the closest to Kobe in the league when it comes to work ethic. Could have used the direction. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts!
kawhi is not very comparable imo. for one he load manages.. kobe got hurt a lot and still played thru it cus he was tough as (bleep). kawhi dont have the explosiveness or deep range. hes fundamentally sound but not even close to the same excitement _________________ Kobe Forever
I think we need to cut out all the LeGM talk for at least his tenure here in LA. I mean anybody in their right mind would trade for AD, so I doubt Bron forced management into that position. I think Bron/Klutch did want Kidd...but only after Lue wasn’t happening.
So no Lue, no Melo, no trade for Cp3 (which endangers the Giannis 2021 plan where klutch klients Bron and/or AD have to sacrifice their max to get it done), no trade for Tristan and now no call for JR.
I actually agree with your post - is this April 1? _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
