When you factor in how much more athletic Josh Smith is then Peko it's more impressive to me. Most of the sports outlets agreed last night. Not to mention Barnes is a rook with fresh legs. Kobe is a old man (by NBA terms), who has had multiple procedures done to his knees over the years....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 0% of people look back on the greatest dunks of all time and factor in how 'fresh' people's legs are.

Part of the reason the Kobe dunk is so sick is because at his age he can still elevate like that. Barnes is a 20 year old rookie who doesn't have 17 years of a grueling NBA schedule already behind him. Makes a huge difference whether you care to admit it or not.....

Haha thats like saying Tom Chambers' dunk is better cause hes a white dude. Yeah it makes a difference but thats not the comparison

Kobe to the locker room. Uhoh.

Edit, just an ulnar nerve.

How fuging hard does Kobe Bryant have to be hit to get a foul call. Westbrook get's breathed on and it's a foul, but Bryant drives to the basket and has Ibaka jump right into his body and there's no whistle. Not the reason they're down (turnovers), but the officials in the NBA are fuging ridiculous....

Of course it would be Ibaka (who shouldn't even be on the floor tonight) with the likely dagger....gotta love the NBA where BULLS*** happens....

Again, is it no blood no foul when it's Bryant driving....
