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

[Braman]

@ISO

Kobe’s dunks are more easily found/seen. Mike has some people still aren’t hip to to this day



Also Jordan has a dunk in COLLEGE better than Kobe’s top dunks



See the problem comes back to athleticsm. Kobe can’t do that ^. Whereas Mike could do any dunk Kobe could. However Mike managed to do it, no players in history could ‘hang’ like Mike. Whereas while Kobe’s dunks were great, Mike could do em, Tmac has comparable dunks, I could even find some comparable JR dunks. Kobe isnt even the best dunker from his own era. That would be Vince.

With Mike, athletically (50 inch vert) and stylistically, he had no peer Kobe has peers, as evident by the voting. Kobe is closer to Tmac than he is Mike

I always liked Ray Allen’s jump shot

 

[MasterThought]

Ray Allen & Joe Johnson got the prettiest games I've ever seen.

Those MJ dunks in that video other than the first one where he ate the contact and cocked it back were all basic

You can say he could do the dunks that Kobe did but he never did them. No 360 bag, limited windmill bag, no Eastbays, reverse game limited

Jordan had the cradle he did it in the NBA too a few times that’s an old school dunk that players like Larry Nance and Dr. J used to do. I’ve seen Nance Jr., JaVale McGee, Rudy Gay do it. That’s more of a hand size fastbreak dunk it’s cool but a detonating reverse windmill in traffic is more impressive


Mike didn’t have no 50 inch vert that’s a myth they tested his vert at NC it was 42 inches

And bringing up JR and Vince doesn’t help your point. Vince is the GOAT dunker and JR dunk bag is also deep with reverses, windmills, disgusting posters flooring the opps, fukking 360 alley oops shyt that Mike never did

T-Mac wasn’t on Kobe level as a dunker he has some cool self alleys and nasty posters but overall nah and Kobe was 3-4 inches shorter yet applied more rim pressure and was a more voluminous and ferocious dunker than Mac

The hang time layups for Jordan makes him my pick. No one has replicated that layup package since.

I love to watch the post games of Kobe and Dream tho. And it’s a dying art form. It’s legit art to me. It’s like a dance. Kobe’s difficult shot stills could be in the louvre

Kyrie is the most aesthetic in the current age by a mile. The handle, mixed with the lay up package, + the sprinkle of the postgame is just gorgeous. When he’s on, he’s the greatest show in the sport.

Mike, but most of what I’ve seen wasn’t live, so I vote Kyrie honorable mention KD

 

[klientel]

kyrie and it’s not even close for me

 

[BigTyme Records]

Effectiveness >>>>> shyt looking pretty.

Slept on answer. And low key the way he played as Jesus Shuttlesworth may be the one

He was like a more street Ray Allen, more handles more raw.

 

[rbksNgirbauds]

It's MJ man. Anything else is just tryna dance around the obvious.
His game featured everything anybody else listed has, plus. Black cat is an underrated nickname for that dude, his game was fluid, instinctual, and explosive just like a damn cat.
And cherry that with a technically fundamental base


Not to mention he is THE BLUEPRINT to alot of the styles of most of the other guys on the list lol

C'mon man

 

[Marc Spector]

Kyrie is the most eye catching talent I’ve ever seen lace them up

 

[#1 pick]

Easily MJ. That's why his stans go so hard even when Bron is the best to ever play thus far.

 

[#1 pick]

Bodie is you CRAZY?

Spoiler: 🤷🏽‍♂️

I don't even think it's close. Most skilled is Kobe, Kyrie, or Steph but as far as asethtics, MJ got me thinking of him in the air whenever I think of the song take my breath away or I believe I can fly.

 

[#1 pick]

From my interpretation of the question, first that came to mind for me is Melo. Handle, beautiful form and lift on his jumper, can score at all levels with ease.

Others: MJ, Kobe, Kyrie, KD

Melo has the best combination of smooth and power of any player like Nique had the best dunk combination of finesse with power. So many asethically pleasing players. T-MAC is probably the most easy on the eyes but I didn't like his feel for the game at all. Decision making was questionable too but his rare ability was insane. His vision, first step, fluidity, T-Mac was a dream player honestly. 6'9, can shoot over anyone. Athletic af. He had a beautiful game
