I hope you aren't insinuating this thread is about their overall packages as a basketball player.

At the risk of feeling like Peej, go back and watch Wilt Chamberlain highlights. The guy was 50 years ahead of his time. Talk about a coordinated big man... he played point guard for the Globetrotters at 7'.
He couldn't have been that coordinated considering he's one of the worst free throw shooters of all time.

wut?

that has everything to do with him not caring to work on them for most of his career and nothing to do with his coordination.

i do know the Dream has never shot 55% in a season before like AD is on pace to do. He's just so smooth within 12ft. He doesn't miss.

What a shallow argument. Dude averaged 30/22/4 over a career. Grabbed shots off the top of the box, was the fastest guy on the court, handled the ball, made circus passes... all at 7'.

I'll be sure to remember that FT% is the measure of coordination the next time I have to argue that Jeff Hornacek was the most coordinated 2 guard of all time:

CWebb is in the mix.

Mailman, though he was more rugged obviously

Admiral was great for many years.

Sabonis wasnt as fluid and was kinda awkward at times but dem skillz doe

Amare was pretty damn good for a while too.

Yep. Before injuries he was a beast. Raw as hell though.

So Davis only being in his 3rd year is significantly relevant in this debate?

David Robinson in his prime was pretty damn athletic as coordinated.

Davis can control a game so many ways though.
