Kobe Bryant's level up skill: DIRK'S FADEAWAY.

@Martti.: yeah, in my experience shooting it one-legged yields a bigger percentage too, but I'm just too scared to continue shooting that way because I'm afraid I might tweak my left ankle one of these days (and I already have 1 bad knee, so...).
@z02: when I first tried to learn to shoot the fadeaway, these were is what I watched for the form:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5wZh9exAYY
After watching that and practiced (a lot) I have a semi-decent fadeaway of my own, though nowhere close to the form in the example Hope that can help if you're looking for the fundamentals of the fadeaway (who better to learn that from, right?)
But anyway, after seeing that video that dei. posted and watching Dirk's 1-legged fadeaway, I'm like: having that move in your arsenal when you're 7 feet tall with the wingspan of a frickin' airplane?...man that's unfair.

Who are you to judge what's important or not in a person's priorities? Sure Pau's problem may seem trivial compared to a rape trial or bad sushi but have you ever thought that his relationship has more meaning and weight in his life as compared to how others see it?

So you had more effort/trouble/hassle in joining a team club to show that you're a big fan of The G.O.A.T.'s team. Does it make you more of a supporter than someone who doesn't join a team club? Does a supporter who's not a member of a team club have less of a passion for the team compared to someone who's a member? You brought up that you're a member of that club, what does that have to do with our discussion about The G.O.A.T. and Choke Nowitzki? That's what it means EXACTLY.

Logical argument? How can I even accept that you are capable of it when you don't even know what you implied in your first post, and that is Kobe copying Dirk's fadeaway. You're the one that's giving out anecdotes that mean nothing to the discussion at hand and you want a logical argument?

Shut up you two. Shut up. Just shut your front doors! You two just disgust me.

Do you think this is what Kobe wants? This you think is what Kobe is all about? FUCK u KIDDING me?

All Kobe aka new born Jesus Chris wants us to do is to love one another. This was a clear message when he led a team of scrubs to six titles. Team full of scrubs yet he only provided them with love, compassion and bread. When Shaq's selfishness was tearing down the world, Kobe's love kept us together. When Gasol and Bynum were fighting over ball usage, Kobe taught them about the team spirit. He passed and still scored 81 points. So now, look me in the eye and tell me why you have forsaken Kobe's teachings here in this very thread.

I'm sorry father for I have lapsed and forsaken the gospel for a little while, blinded by the irresistible provocation of some trollish heathen. But thank you for shepherding this lost sheep and showing me the LIGHT-uh! I shall no more descend to that level and be henceforth a most devout servant of the teachings!

Pfft. Dwyane Wade fans and their gibberish. Come back to this thread when and if that flopper Wade manages to get more more rings than Kobe The G.O.A.T. Bryant, which is impossible. Until then, shut your whore mouth.

So it seems... Kobe's face is telling us millions of things.

If that is Dirk's fadeaway, then he is really Copy Bryant.

C'mon, level up skill? Kobe does not need to earn any other players' "skill", he already has them all.

Kobe's face is telling us millions of things.

That pic is marginally scary.

As opposed to Kobe enjoying hugs from young azn boys? You're scaring me z02.

kobe's reaction to this thread

Kobe really has a number of pictures that show so much emotions for us to decipher. Or have we deciphered it?

Kobe is a man full of emotions. The media just bastardized him to be a cold heartless robot that is programmed to mimic Jordan.

I come back here and I see this thread has got completely derailed. All because of your whiny bleating up there back in the beginning, shadowgrin.
*sigh*

Any thread that has a lame RPG reference such as "level up skill" deserves to be derailed.

There's not much more than can be said, anyway. Kobe performed a couple of fadeaways that bore some resemblance to Dirk's, so he may or may not have added a variation to a move in his arsenal that he'll be using from now on. Video comparisons were made. With nowhere else to go, a few jokes were made.

It's all good Andrew, I'm not angry or anything, it's just a thread to kill time until the NBA season/NBA 2k12. Just giving shadowgrin there a poke. Hope you'll level up some day too, 'grin!

You still don't how a great poster shadowgrin is.

He's a legend among pinoys but also widely hated by Canadians.

Eh, nationalities don't matter. A Pinoy troll or a Canadian troll or an American troll's still a troll
BTW guys, while we're at the subject, how come some of you have 'location' tags on your profile info? I can't seem to find the place to input it. Is it a 'member rank' type of thing?

Oh, nevermind, found it
