Missing a few

Paul George- one of the smoothest, fluid, and slick tailered games ever.

Tyreek Evans- very smooth and deceptive slick game.

Penny Hardaway- a SWEET and highly skilled game.

And some respect to the big men (PFs and Cs ) of the game

  • Chris Webber
  • Hakeem Olajuwon
  • Shawn Kemp
  • Tim Duncan
I can make an argument that these are more aesthetically pleasing than (say) Iverson and a couple of others in the OPs list

Jordan - smoothest game ever. He never looked like he was trying too hard, it was effortless.

Kobe had probably the largest bag collection though. Had some swag, visually speaking.

Curry should get some rep here as well. He's box office.

Kyrie is the absolute complete package. Best handle ever. One of the greatest 3 point shooters ever and can finish in the paint on par with anyone on or not on the list.

I’m torn between MJ and that temperamental little girl Kyrie:lupe:

EDIT:
  • Brandon Roy belongs on that list.
  • Tim Hardaway belongs on that list.
  • Except for his post up game, young D-Wade belongs on that list. (For me)
  • Among bigs, Jamal Mashburn and Chris Webber belong on that list.

Anybody say Kyrie Irving over Michael Jordan & Kobe ought be slapped :ufdup:
That doesn’t mean Kyrie is better than them but his game is probably the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Dude can do anything

Behind the back crossover and then split the defense :wow:

As the poll indicates, it's Jordan and it's not close. I suspect most people who choose differently are affected by the following:

A. Just hate Jordan
B. Terminal contrarians
C. Don't understand the degree of difficulty to a lot of what Jordan did that still hasn't been duplicated.

And then a small percentage ACTUALLY find another player more aesthetically pleasing. LMAO Kyrie. Don't get me wrong, Kyrie's nasty but over Jordan? LMAO.

I mean, if you can watch this and really believe it's someone else, your bball opinions are null and void to me.
