The cope is strong today. Personally I'm happy for you guys, the last several days of tantrum was pretty cringe, I'm glad you've found the right propaganda to buy back in to your cult. Things get dicey around here when your blind faith gets shaken and you start to lash out. Hopefully the game today won't do anything to shake that faith and lead to another sustained outburst from the cult.
Actually this explains a lot. Fans in LA are sort of stupid in general and rank their own players as significantly better than they actually are. So, we're probably collectively ranking green about where he should be.
Like I said it quite obvious and sad to see rocket Posters actively root for Green to fail cause they have a Man crush for Mobley. Call other folks cult-like when they get exposed. They say they care about greens progression to avoid getting dumpster on, but I swear u are gonna see a dumba$$ thread in future similar to scarface thread of "maybe I was right about x all along" with the usual Mobley Mob folks stroking themselves off for how much iq they had.
Stop comparing him to Kobe - it would be awesome but Kobe being 6'6" to 6'7" is a major difference to 6'4".........same for MJ. If we get a Dwayne Wade that would be more like it. DD
You know they measured players differently back then right? Kobe and MJ's heights are inflated with shoes on. Modern player measurements don't do that. Both were in reality 6'4" or 6'5".
If Green can be a more skilled Lavine or a more athletic Beal, I'll be happy. Both those guys are borderline top 15 players in the league. A slightly better version of those to get you a top 10 player.
Please post the evidence for this, the NBA went to actuals - what was Kobe's height then? Originally I think he was listed at 6'7" and ended up 6'6" .... do you show something different? Green doesn't have the handles of Kobe - and we shall see if he has the work ethic. DD
https://fansided.com/2017/03/27/kobe-bryant-height-6-foot-4-lakers/ The only true source of this is his wife posting on instagram a couple of years back that Kobe is exactly 6'4 3/4 without shoes, and 6'6 with his Nikes on. I see no reason for her to lie about this either. This was her exact insta post, but since then she has deleted the post. “My fav :kissing_heart::blush:urple_heart::yellow_heart:Since I get asked how tall I am: Fun fact- I’m 5’4″ and Kobe is 6’4″ and 3/4 to be exact. :blush:I know this because I didn’t think he was as tall as the announcer said he is so I measured him (without shoes) however, he is 6’6″ with his Nikes on.” For Reference Josh Christopher is officially 6'4.5 with shoes on, and Jalen Green is obviously taller. So I would guess Jalen is probably 6'6 with shoes and maybe 6'4.5 without shoes just like Kobe.
also to add, just a quick Google search, people said that MJ was measured to be 6'4.88 barefoot at the 1992 Olympic games. And just be pictures he's basically the same height as Kobe. I want to say they are both bit under 6'5 without shoes and 6'6 with shoes. Sorry to say but if Green is shorter than MJ and Kobe it would be probably the difference of half an inch. I also don't know where you get the idea that Green is so much smaller.
Green doesn't have the handles of prime Kobe or 19 year old Kobe because I didn't see Kobe doing crossover step back jumpers in one fluid motion at 19.
The problem is not height as many attempt to point out but his narrow shoulders, narrow frame, small head and so on. He is a delicate 6'4 to 6'5.
this is what you said about Jalen's Height: Stop comparing him to Kobe - it would be awesome but Kobe being 6'6" to 6'7" is a major difference to 6'4".........same for MJ. You implied he's 2-3 inches shorter than Kobe, I have no idea what his body type have to do with his height. No one is denying Jalen has a super narrow frame.
Kobe was 6’4” DaDa. Edit: I didn’t see everyone else's responses so I will leave this for those knocking him for his “lithe” body.
