Degree of Difficulty…
So the qustion is, which shot was more difficult. Was it Jordan’s right to left and the kiss of the backboard. Or is it Kobe hanging in the air long enough to go strong against the defensive player of the year and then decide that he will hang out in the air little more long to make up is mind, and then decides to pull back and avoid the block and then kiss it off the glass on the other side.
Here is video evidence to help your voting:
Jordan’s right to left:
You know where you were when you saw this. Jordan vs Lakers. He goes up with the right hand and then at mid flight, he switches to his left and gently kisses it off the glass, with perfect spin, so perfect that it does not even touch the rim as it goes in.
pros: Most of you fools aint even got a left hand (like me), so 95% of you can’t even pull this off playing by yourself in the backyard.
cons: MJ did not have to switch hands. The two defenders had no chance in blocking the right hand layup. So after its all said and done, the swtich was for show, just fluff. I have idea what that has to do with the degree of difficulty, but there it is.
Kobe’s hang time:
As I watch Kobe do work, I have found out that he must work on shotting the ball after he has reached his apex. I see him getting a lot of shots off after gettting fouled or just as defenders stand there to not pick up a foul, by hanging in the air and shotting on the way down. Other players do it, but this is ridiculous.
pros: Few can hang in the air this long. And the few that can, probably cant maintain the body control to get the shot off. And the few that can hang and maintain body control…aint got the skills to make the shot. And then (last time) the few that can can hang and maintain body control…and make the shot, can’t make it off the glass.
cons: KB4 did not finish with the left. If he did, we would not be having this poll. It would go down as the best shot in a finals hands down.
You can vote on the right-side area under the categories.

Kobe – Only because the shot Jordan did was not necessary he could have just laid it in he didnt need to switch hands… Kobe had to hang that long or his shit would have been in the bleachers.

Since the question is which one is more difficult, I would have to say Jordan’s.
