What player has had the most aesthetically pleasing offensive game in NBA history?

[Flex Grossman]

Voted Tmac. Vince should be on the list too

 

[NYC Rebel]

Jordan. And it aint even close

 

[Noriega]

Historically…MJ

Currently..Kyrie

Personal favorite…Prime D Rose

 

[Braman]

Probably Kobe, however MJ was more fluid…

Pretty crazy how comfortable folk have got mentioning Kobe synonymously with Mike.

If Mike was more fluid (he was) then why would you pick Kobe Mike was also a vastly superior athlete, more fundamentally sound, AND more efficient. There is literally no argument for Kobe over Mike whether it be overall or more appeasing.

Kobe's handle was maybe a little tighter...better 3 point shooter...but I'm not saying Kobe is better or anything.

Top 5 in no order.

Stephen Curry.

I do believe Jordan is top though.

I’ll give you that. Im just an old head Jordan fan and hate people treating them like 1A-1b. I HATE It

(Btw, Kobe and Mike have near identical career 3pt % the only times Mike shot more than 3 3’s a game he shot 37,42, and 37%)

As much as I love Kobe, he's not 1b to MJ.

His handle was looser he came out in a different era when ball handling developed and rules loosened up he had the elongated pause crossover in his bag. That big tween dribble snatch back

MJ’s was tighter and more simple. Kobe was a more creative dunker too and his fadeaways and drifter jumpers were gorgeous.

 

[KFBF]

Jordan.

But some names that aren't getting mentioned: Melo, PG, Grant Hill.

Kobe had the advantage of having MJs game to replicate and improve upon (extending that fadeaway to the 3 point line).

Causal alert

-A tight handle is universal lingo for quality of handles. Not the actual way they carried/dribbled. Best handle = tightest handle

-Kobe being a more creative dunker is just laughable, no debate even needed

-Kobe’s fadeaway was just a facsimile of Jordan’s…with less athleticism

-I have never heard the term drifter jumper
