Ronnie's Kobe to MJ comparison was spot on. Kobe had all of MJ's moves, footwork, and mentality, but lacked the explosiveness that MJ had. He wasn't far off, but MJ's athleticism was off the charts and he had those massive hands to grip the ball like a toy.
I was tryna tell someone the other day, that Kobe was not like, a SUPER athlete in the NBA.......yes he is super athletic compared to the average man, but like, I could name a lot of players that were more athletic IMO than Kobe, from Grant Hill, to TMac, to DRose, to Russell Westbrook, Anthony Edwards Lebron and Jordan of course, again, not that he isnt really athletic, but in NBA he's like 85th-90th percentile, the guys I mentioned are like 90 to a 100
@@Tony-fq5bn That's why Kobe's accomplishments are so impressive. Yeah, MJ is the closest thing to perfection we've seen as a basketball player and the fact that Kobe got so close, despite his physical limitations, is why Kobe is the Black Mamba.
Kob was cat quick early in his career.. Jordan was just an unbelievable athlete that’s above everyone
hence I think for the first few years in the league, kobe somewhat struggled, he was a flashy player but lacked a lot of that MJ had, on top of it MJ came in with all the fundamentals/team bball from dean smith. It shows how hard kobe had to work, which I believe was harder than jordan to achieve not as great (but close) results.
@@westcoastkidd17 there is a saying in chinese bball circles, that kobe's grace and style is as beautiful as a classic painting, jordan is the painting.
If you seen KG documentary then you know Ronnie Fields and Malik Sealy are the reason KG is Big Ticket
Pause
MJ = 🐐
Ronnie use to fly. He was jumping over guys in high-school. Dunking everything! Everything! High-school basketball in Chicago would draw crazy attention.
Trying to guard Jordan and Kobe in they prime is like trying to catch casper the ghost 😂😂 ✌️
This was unbelievably lame to comment.
@@randallel5987 😂 you don't like the comment just move on straight like that ✌️
I thought my 5 year old was telling me a story for a moment.
Gil Arenas said it the other day, Kobe is more 2nd threepeat MJ,
Not 80s early 90 athletic freak
Peace and prayers up to y’all legends. Great show
I did a VIDEO about Ronnie Fields a year ago! Please check it out and like! In 1995, the 2nd biggest sports act in the city was Farragut! Vince Carter ducked the smoke in the Nike 94 summer camp for a dunk off. In my video, I tried to tell goofies how cold this man was in high school. Glad All tha Smoke gave Ronnie some exposure.
High School and NBA is a different level.

@@d.hopkins2628 um yea we know this already…
@@d.hopkins2628 um yea we know this already…
Naw nba is WWE scripted
Ronnie was it man dude made it the stuff to be a 10 year old kid in Chicago tryna hoop man that era was the best time to learn your game
MJ was not only more athletic, he was more creative, more inuitive in the game, and above all, he was graceful with the moves and in the air.
Compared to MJ, everything Kobe did felt forced, except a few moves he carbon-copied from Mike, namely the fade-away.
Exactly! I tried explaining the same thing to people. That alone can't be duplicated. That's what made MJ even more special and separated him from many. Including players today. I still haven't seen anyone yet that had MJ's gracefulness and how easy he made his moves look. Artistry and a thing of beauty.
@@davidjohnson5243 Yes. MJ was the unequalled package, and always and forever "in the zone" - once he entered it, he never left... And now Anthony Edwards is the new MJ... Yeah right... The guy can jump out of the gym, dunk on anybody, shoot decently... but he doesn't have the moves, he's stiff, he's a piece of wood in the air... a far-cry from MJ, even when comparing them at the same age.
@@nama022 🤣
Early Jordan destroys Kobe in athletic speed.
Mj was SLIGHTLY more athletic and slightly bigger. The biggest difference between them was the hand size! People neglect to realize the advantage that gives players in terms of ball control in traffic. Easier to finish around the rim and less turnovers on offense and you’re able to bother players in ways other people wouldn’t on defense. Young Kobe was PLENTY explosive and athletic
Slightly more athletic? Man stop. Kobe was an elite athlete, MJ was a freak athlete. There's a difference
He was not bigger than Kobe
@@colinwilkins3338 uh yeah he was. MJ was bigger and stronger than Kobe was
KG went to windy city becozof the exiting Ronnie fields at Farragut
I seen more Jason Richardson than Mike
Very sad didn't join KG in the NBA
MJ owned the game.
I have said this before. The reason why Kobe is often times left out of the goat convo is because he's very similar to MJ and that makes it a lot easier to compare and say that MJ is better and what makes him better is that Kobe can do whatever MJ did but on a less efficient manner because MJ is simply more athletic than Kobe. That fadeaway is harder to defend when it rises a few inches more.
Maaan.. Y’all got a Chicago Legend on this show.. Please stand up.. If you don’t know him you better look him up.. That dude was more closer to Jordan than Kobe.. He should be able to go to any restaurant in Chicago and eat for free.. I’m saying this and I went to Collins for a year.. 🙏🏾 That dude was better then Kobe and Derrick Rose.. To me🤷🏿♂️ Shelly Clark from South Shore. 🤔Why Ronnie name not in the headline instead of High School player.. his name should be searched to find this video
Pause
@@preyface456fromchicago8 I seen some highlights of Ronnie Field. It’s a stretch to
say he was better than D Rose.
Ronnie Field was a shooting guard and Derrick Rose a point guard.
To totally different positions.
Opinion
@@d.hopkins2628 Definitely not a stretch, coming from a person that seen both Play.. And met both.. I Love D Rose.. But he was nothing like Ronnie.. I seen Ronnie Jump over Centers..
We knew Ronnie Fields was the next one. Still can't believe what happened to him.
TERRIBLE Adult ( more like idiots) Leadership !!!
Blessings , your postcast is real .. ton of blessings for you both an all your love ones
Saw the Man at IIT POST accident Witnessed SUPERHUMAN ATHLETICISM ! He was trapped in the corner did a step through split the double Team and Dunked from 1 step over the 3line off 1 Bounce head over the rim😮😮 😮!!! After the game I had to examine Him up close, looked almost unimpressive not very muscular small calves HOWEVER when He stepped on that court Shiiiii !!!....
You're thinking of Space Jam, or Mother Goose.
What’s this revisionist history of Barnes and Jackson being great defenders? 😂 they was being targeted every time they were on the floor. They just played dirty and gave hard fouls. That don’t make you a great defender.
Old head talk… The defenders of the 80s and 90s were overrated too. Clotheslining and being a bully was considered good defense. They had to lay out offensive players because they couldn’t stay in front of them.
@@ThatBoyPause yea, Jordan, Pippen, and Payton were all laying ppl out 🤦♂️. Think before you generalize.
@@IamnotJokic You just named three players. There are more, but on the WHOLE, they were overrated. There are always exceptions to the rule. That’s a feminine reply, by the way. “Not all women are like that.”
@@ThatBoyPauseHow do you come to this conclusion? Based on what? Sounds like you are just creating bs to tarnish the reps of past players to build up your favorite era because that era doesn’t hold up under its own merits.
@@cycleoflife565 It’s called optics. The problem with stat guys, which I assume you are, is that you fail to consider the variables. Why do you think former players have a different take than stat guys? Because, the eye-test is superior. Not to mention, they were on the court with the players in discussion.
Back to the argument - How is knocking a player to the ground in the 80s and 90s good defense? Answer that from a basketball SKILLS perspective.
And, while you argue this, consider that former players also share in this sentiment.
Who tf is this nga. Never even made it in the league?
Watch the full pod not just clips. Bro got into a career ending car crash
Chicago legend .. avg 42 a game before his car crash
@@hanokohatsu2853 nah I’m all good with sitting through the unc stories. But I appreciate you providing the answer.
@@IamnotJokicwe all gonna be unc someday lol, I am to most kids on here
@@IamnotJokic You got a Caucasians last name u a goofy
Who tf is this uncle acting like he matched up with mj 😂
That's Ronnie Fields. He a high school legend.
Only uncle he was is Drew before Kyrie. Ronnie was beastly prior neck injury. He left battlefields littered with shields. At Farragut Academy he and KG were unstoppable like Kobe to Shaq on NBC in HD. B-ball scholar with vertical superior to your favorite baller's. #50InchVert
@@JermaineProtectedByGOD It's obvious the Lamont Sanford big dummy has no idea about this hardwood heathen.
Really lol?
I never heard of Ronnie Fields period. I know about ABA and NBA. Do I need to
pull out the litmus test All The Smoke?
I can understand, you reaching back and perhaps you witness Ronnie hay
day. I will look him up, to see how
good he really was. Opinion
