Mccants is just one of those people who has to go against the grain lol like bro we didn’t ask you who you thought was the best player.. We asked who is the most influential.. not many people can relate to Kobe.. he’s in a league of his own..

no one did that because of Kobe. Dave Chappelle was the one who got everybody to do that from a skit

@bryantgarcia2925 Месяц назад

@@20willsdude started off as a skit which led to everybody and they momma doing it and adding the signature fadeaway while saying KOBE means that’s how influential he was especially hooping on the court people would say his name it’s like saying MJ didn’t design his first pair of sneakers it was Peter B Moore but like his mom said “its not about the shoes, it’s what you do in them” that’s the meaning of influential

This is the best way to put it. Everyone wants to present, dribble, and have that swag like AI. Shoot like Steph Curry. And Dunk, Move, and Jump shoot like Kobe.

@Chad5ter Месяц назад

I totally agree with those two. Playing in a garage league or pickup games around my city (Montreal, Canada), I see a lot of people shooting 3s and turning around before the ball gets in like Curry or a lot of people that are going crazy on the dribbles to get the hard layups just like AI. I think it’s also personal and generational. I personally love AI, but my influencers are Derrick Rose and John Wall.

McCants using “championships” as a point to use as to why Kobe is the most influential player since MJ is ludicrous. He just doesn’t want to agree with Bron about anything lol Kenyon is right, the size stature is a huge point as to why Iverson or Curry are the most influential. Your average guy playing hooping at the local ymca is Currys height or shorter, you really think they out there at the park or YMCA trying to hoop like Kobe, MJ or even Bron? Hell no, Bron is my goat but I try to emulate my game off of Curry do to I will never be able to do what Bron does on the court

I think ya'll missed the point. Bron probably meant influence on the game in terms of Xs n Os. Iverson being small guard but with the pace and scoring ability changed the game and thats perhaps why nowadays in many teams the guard is the primary scorer. Then Steph's shooting ability and more importantly his gravity has completely altered the spacing, coverages, etc. and more importantly, the game is played differently because of those 2. Kobe on the other hand was great, but we had already seen that style (in MJ) so it didn't bring a change in tactics.
