Spin is necessary in case they don't go for the first fake

[iljrr808]

@louridah2 because it was the best option. if he just went straight up with it after the fake he would have to jump akward and square up his shoulders, but the spin move takes that away

That spin was so unnecessary

[supramano8]

@jvmst word.

[jvmst]

@supramano8 Agreed! He's is on of the greatest to ever play the game. No doubt.

[supramano8]

@jvmst I guess it's just hard to tell based on a video. You'd really have to, literally, be in his shoes to see what was going on. But just to say this though, it's not like he took a bad shot. That little spin may be difficult for an average person, but there was no way Kobe was going to miss that shot.

[jvmst]

@supramano8 oh I see what you're saying. I thought you said he didn't jump at all. Even if number 8 went straight up. He went high enough and was far enough away from Kobe for Kobe to definately just go straight up. If you look at it from the second replay's perspective, you can clearly see that opportunity presented.

[supramano8]

@jvmst yeah....? and what i'm saying is he jumps and he doesn't move away from kobe like you say he did. He stays in the area within arms reach of kobe.

[jvmst]

@supramano8 ...No dude. Number 8 definately jumps at 00:12...

[supramano8]

@jvmst actually if you really look at what's going on, you'll see that number 8 really doesn't move. His hips move back because he got bumped in to, but really his arms stay in the same area. Basically he's still within reach to contest that shot.

[jvmst]

@supramano8 I understand using spin to create space and what he was trying to do, but in this case, in was useless. Pause at 00:13 and you'll see what I mean. As soon as he decides to spin, you can clearly see both players jumping a little AWAY from Kobe. If they had both jumped straight up, anyone should have needed to spin. Pretty sure he and a lot of people are talented enough to go up without spin there, especially with defenders leaping away a little. It was clearly useless
