Rate Kobe's dunk on the canadian... 1-10?
448445
Like a 3 or 4...for two reasons...one it was Steve Nash, what is he like 5'10" come on. And second you clearly see on the replay that Nash drew the charge so it shouldn't have counted at all!

I bet you are probably the most over-hyped, over-rated, Least talented player ever on Yahoo Answers.  I have never seen you play but the one thing I know is that you're all talk.  You may talk big, but you have not proven one thing to me.  I have never even seen you make a shot, which brings up the question Are you even able to make a layup?  If not then you can't play ball.  \n\nI mean look at your question.  You made a whole lot of grammatical mistakes:\n\nCapialize all of the i's,\nspace in between 170 and cms,\nspace in between 43 and kgs,\nCapitalize the D in do,\nthe period after basketball should be a question mark,\nyou misspelled good,\nspace between comma and passing,\nand finally you did not end with a period.\n\nAll of these mistakes in your grammer leads me to believe that you did not put a lot of focus into asking the question.  How can I be sure that you have the same lack of focus on the court?  \n\nYou also have not proved to me that you are a team player.  From the question it sounds like it is all about you:\n"I am 170 cms"\n"do you think I can play..."\n"I have..."\n\nYou might just be a totally selfish player who only cares about himself.  \n\nOne more thing, You probably can't even do a 720 dunk.  I've seen a guy who wasn't even in the NBA and he could do a 720 dunk.  \n\nMY final advice:\n\nKid, you got a lot of growing up to do.

Look.  I'm going to tell you this, and please don't feel like you need to respond, or defend Kobe, since you are obviously a fan.\n\nAnd what I have to say is this.  Kobe Bryant is one of the three most talented players in the league.  However, he is the the most selfish player than has played, since Wilt Chamberlain circa 1961, and that's covering tons of players.\n\nThat 81 point game was the most sickening display in basketball's most recent history.  It was like watching a gangbang, that lasted on guy too many.  Yes......it was that disgusting.  They stood around and he continuously shot the ball...regardless of where he was on the court, and if there was an open man.  \n\nWatch the game again and look at Phil Jackson during this exhibition.  He looked like he wanted to vomit......the entire time.\n\nKobe is not an MVP.  He has MVP talent all the way around, but don't gush all over this guy.  I do like that he is becoming a leader, but he still is not well liked by a lot of people in his locker room.  Unfortunately, he HAS to score....so it's a license to score, similar to Dominique and Jordan of the 80s.....but at least they tried to involve over people i.e. Pippen, Grant, Doc Rivers, Kevin Willis....\n\nWhat will happen is a talent like Chris Bosh comes to LA?  My money says Kobe attempts to eat him alive, and Bosh's career will go down the tubes because if it.  Kobe's middle name should be lymphoma, because he is definitely a cancer on the team.

Kobe DID play the 4th quarter in that 81 point game...He played 42 minutes in that game, coming back into the game early in the 4th quarter.\n\nKobe would have needed an additional 19 points in the remaining 6 minutes... possible, but unlikely.  Scoring 100 pts in a game means scoring about 2 pts per minute (in a 48 minute game).  Scoring 19 pts in 6 minutes would be just over 3 pts per minute, much tougher to do.\n\nIt was in Kobe's 62 pt game against Dallas on 12/20/05 that he only played 32 minutes, and didn't play in the 4th qtr.  So he would had to have put in a record 38 points in the 4th quarter in order to hit 100.\n\nAnd contrary to what a previous poster said, Wilt didn't just stand there towering over the other players in the NBA... the Knicks center was 6'11", barely two inches shorter than Wilt.  Most teams had 6'10 to 7' centers in those days. Russell himself was 6'10, Nate Thurmond was a 7 footer, etc...\n\nAnyone who thinks that the NBA consisted of a bunch of little guys in the 60s is flat out ignorant of basketball history.  There were no players under 6 ft tall in the 100 pt game, today, a number of NBA teams have players under 6' tall.  Heck, Mugsy Bogues was 5'3" and he had a long NBA career, as did Spud Webb at 5'6"... there were no guys in the league that size when Wilt played.  Nate Archibald, at 6'1" was nicknamed "Tiny"...\n\nAnd, as I've pointed out in other threads, Wilt never had the luxury of playing against high school kids in the NBA... now the top pick almost every year is a high school kid, and very few of them can play basketball.\n\nYou think Kwame Brown could guard Wilt Chamberlain???  LOL\n\nAgainst players like Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Yao Ming, Wilt would have average 60 or 70 points a game, not the 50 he averaged that year... Wilt was stronger than Shaquille O'Neal, a far better leaper, and was much more schooled in the fundmentals. \n\nAnd Wilt didn't dunk nearly as much as Shaq does today...Wilt's favorite shots were a turnaround bank shot and the finger-roll... heck, when Wilt came into the league, he had a better jump shot from 12 feet out that Jason Kidd ever did...\n\nAnyway, the answer is no, no one in the NBA today will ever score 100 points in a game..  David Robinson was once allowed to score 71 pts in the final game of the season (in order to win the scoring title over the less-popular Shaquille O'Neal), and said he couldn't imagine how Wilt could have done that, plus come up with another 29 points...  \nIt's called stamina... Wilt averaged 46 minutes a game over his entire career of 1,045 games... today, anyone who plays 40 minutes in one game is considered to be an ironman...

Kobe already is, he probably has been ever since the 3 peat.  Lets not forget that he has 3 championships.  Nobody is a better scorer than he is, and there hasn't been anyone that can take over a game like he can since Jordan did it.  I mean who else can score 62 points in 33 minutes, (by the way that was against Dallas) who else can score 81 points in 42 minutes off only 45 shots taken.  He is the fastest player to hit 10,000 points despite playing with Shaq for 8 years.  He has also managed to average 5 rebounds and 5 assist through his career so far.  He is only 27 years old, he is just getting started, the best is yet to be seen.

Is this a trick question, every single basketball fan knows he put up 63 points in only 3 quarters of play. GO KOBE

Kobe Bryant just today with 81 points... phenomenal

think there are four names worthy of mention here: \n\ndr. j for inventing the art form.\n\ndominic wilkens for  bringing it into our living rooms virtually everynight, i.e. the human highlight, on sportscenter.\n\nmj.  period.  \n\nwould also give spud webb honorable mention for being able to dunk like that (makes the rest of us look pretty bad because if he can do it why can't we? :)

Vince in 2000 was the best dunker i've seen in my life. James flight white is 2nd. Only dunker who could give vince a challenge in a dunk contest. Well let's throw lebron in there with those guys too, 3rd. Dude jumped over 7 2 guy in olympics. Hes on another planet. And if you are wondering if judges handecd vince the crown in 2000, did you actuqally watch the contest, and did you really think anyone deserved to win over him? If you think he didnt deserve to win that year then most nicely put your an idiot.

Spud Webb is one of the more overated players ever. Basically, he'd be nowhere on the map if he didnt win the dunk contest. (And I dont even think he shouldve won that!). He was also a big defensive liability.\n\nI consider Mugsy Bogues underated. I would MUCH rather have him on my team than Spud, yet gets no cred cuz he didnt win a dunk contest. Mugsy was a just a very solid PG. A great leader who could run the offense, pass and distribute the ball, and never turned the ball over. And despite his height, wasnt a bad defender due to his strength.\n\nThe best tiny man in the game has to be Damon Stoudamire though. Averaged 19 and 9 as a rookie to win ROY. Exceeded expectations and put up great stats until he was on the very deep and talented Portland team...where he didnt put up the same stats but was a vital part of the team and hit many many clutch shots. Other accomplishments: 6 playoff appearances, single game high of 54 and career avg of 14.4 ppg and 6.5 dimes a game.\n\nNate.....he's good....but, its too early to really consider him. \n\nAlso have to mention TJ Ford....who is also too young. He's listed as 6ft........but anyone that has seen him play knows for SURE the guy cant even be 5'11". He is clearly shorter than the other 6ft PGs. I love this guy's game. He is probably the fastest guy up and down the court (for sure top 3), and has great ball handling and vision. he could be a very very good player. \n\nBut as of now....it probably has to be Damo.

Get some video of J.J. Redick's shot and copy it exactly. His shot is perfect and so fundamental so it would be good for you to base your shot on his.
412816
This is an easy question. There is but only 1 shot that looks best and its only done in perfection by one person. The shot I'm talking about is the pattented, "KOBE BRYANT TURN-AROUND FADE AWAY JUMPER". It is unguardable....period!!!

well i can't exactally tell you the numbers but i can tell you about his strenghts and weaknesses. His free throws will be up with the best, like billups, peja, ray allen ect. His 3 point shot will be high but not that high because he's a rookie. so not ray allen yet but around , billups, q richarson like. jumpshot is around jamal crawford. no dunking at all. speed is ok just like a slow white shooting gaurd. steals are regular gard. no blocks. defense has not been developed you. Over all look at Juan Dixon and up his shooting skills alittle. remember rookies need to develop. Say 78 rating. mabey less in live.
