The dude is athletically overwhelming. He’s too strong for most, and too fast for the ones he’s not too strong for.

Putting KB24 on a top athlete list? Thats funny. He’s a top player for sure but wasn’t Larry Bird. Go too youtube, there are plenty of videos of Kobe’s athletic deficiency

If you ask me(noone did) it goes
pg- Rondo
sg- D. Wade
sf- Lebron James
pf- Blake Griffin(yes right now)
c- Dwight Howard

Laker fan here… no way is Kobe top 5 athlete… he may be one of the top 3 players in the league (if not best overall)… and most definitely in the discussion of top 5 ever to play, but in terms of being an “athlete”, he’s more skill than athleticism now.

That’s not to say he isn’t a great athlete. He is. But his ticket to success is his skills and fundamentals. At the very least, no one can rightfully say Kobe is a better athlete than DWade… but I’d also consider Westbrook, Tyrus Thomas, Derrick Rose…

Shoot… Kobe probably isn’t even the best athlete on his own team… I’d give that to Shannon Brown.

@AB, Lebrons a big guy, but there are guys stronger than him, college or not. Dudes big but hes not a body builder is my point. Remember the clip where he hit the shot behind the backboard and walked off with his shirt off..Hes cut up but hes really not that big overall. plus Hes known for avoiding the bench press and only using dumbbells. Plus 22 reps at 185 is just as much muscle edurance as it is overall strength, so while hes strong, puttin it up that many times is still tough to do. Muscle endurance and absolute strength are 2 different things.
