Kobe definitely the most skilled ever. Not only he copied all the Jordan moves, he copied all Jordan facial expressions as well. That definitely some sort of unique skills.
Interesting that Kareem gets slighted on these lists because he didn't compel himself to slobber the media's knob.
Good call that the list needs "Most Fundamental" ... I don't really even know what Most Skilled means...when you give that to Kobe. However, I'd vote Larry Bird over Duncan for Most Fundamental.
If they are going to be as specific as Best Dunker, they need to add Best Crossover and give it to Allen Iverson.
Not at all. Not one player from the 60s or 70s on there? BS... Best dunker = JULIUS ERVING Most skilled = Pistol Pete Maravich Greatest Scorer = Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Best Shooter = Steve Nash and Larry Bird >>> Curry
Greatest scorer: Wilt. Greatest rebounder: Also Wilt Greatest player....Wilt. The MJ backers will always come back with 'but MJ won all those championships!' OK, Robert Horry>MJ. True or False? Also, if that is the test, then Bill Russell>>MJ.
I'm fairly confused at the notation "greatest player" and "greatest all-around player". Even if they needed a way to not exclude Lebron, I think the notation they were looking for was perhaps "most versatile player". I would take Russell over Hakeem on pure defense. "Most skilled" is a nebulous concept, but unless it specifically means "best at taking and making tough shots instead of creating easy ones", it's not Kobe. I would perhaps nominate Larry Bird, as he legitimately succeeded because of his learned skills and not his physical attributes.
