Saw another post about the smoothest players in the game. I'm thinking of the opposite of smooth. Players who move or shoot in a way that makes you go, "how did that guy do THAT?".

Jaren Jackson Jr. For sure. He looks so unathletic out there but is actually so good

Some of the top comments include:

Kawhi Leonard Scottie Barnes Pascal Siakam OG Anunoby

Why?

Some players make basketball look really easy, like anybody could do it.

Jimmy is the far opposite. His three ball alone makes the game look impossible.

its jokic for me.....i hate everything about his style/way he moves he just looks like a big oaf but that man be cookin lol point example that shot he made on drumnmond in preaseaon this year, man almost looked like he was going to dribble the ball out of bounds then he just looks up and shoots and makes it

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Great point. Some of his shots are so ugly and you think no chance of going in - and damn if that ball doesn’t drop through the net!

OG Anunoby.

[–] kabman7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Robin Lopez but he’s trash

Giannis ngl

[–] silverfang45@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

For a 6th man instead of a starter cam payne.

Dude has the ugliest shooter I've ever seen in my life it makes me look like booker in comparison.

Yet payne managed to be a decent rotation player for the sun's for a long time

Tyrese Haliburton’s jump shot confuses me but it still goes in

Franz Wagner

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Steph running always looks awkward to me - obv he’s the most talented shooter of all time and amazing dribbler passer etc. But getting up and down the course - sans ball - he can look awkward

[–] TheChinchilla914@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s Al Horford

Shawn Marion

[–] techmaster411@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jimmy Butler…none of his shots are all net they all bounce around the rim. And he always looks like he’s fighting his way to the basket. He’s got a tough and gritty game that fits in well with the heat.

[–] 1acedude@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wild Jimmy Butler isn’t higher. Dude just barrels into the paint and yeets the ball at the backboard. His 3 shot is the stuff of nightmares when he kicks his leg out and fades. He can’t make a spot up 3 to save his life, only when some player is in his asshole can he make it. I can’t stand his game tbh, I don’t think it’s enjoyable to watch because it just shouldn’t work. But damn is it effective

[–] Markie-Mark00@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Surprised no one mentioned Collin Sexton!

[–] gradyjames@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I always thought Jermaine O’Neal was a little robotic and deliberate.

[–] FullHouse222@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nikola? Jokic sometimes look so awkward on the court and just looks out of place but it works so fucking well you kind of just shake your head and accept the ass whooping he's dishing out lol

[–] z55en@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

literally all of the thunder core have a wack ass game

[–] SalesforceBear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Danilo Gallonari

[–] supdoggs21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Saw Georges Niang last night. Guy looks actually fat. His 3’s go in though

Obviously Jaylen Brown, as much hate he gets for his left hand here.

[–] Vindicare605@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

IMO Lebron James with the exception of his passing. His passing is immaculate. But the rest of his game just doesn't have any aesthetic appeal to me. It's all pure power or speed, especially in his prime. Can't argue its effectiveness though.

[–] kiwisawa420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Kyle Anderson is the S tier answer.

ALSO Giannis has no bag

[–] RKKP2015@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Brooke Lopez drives with the speed of a sloth, but somehow he makes it work.

[–] JJiggy13@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Victor Oladipo

[–] ozone722@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jokic. Unathletic, fat, still the best player in the nba

[–] Halveknought@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shouldnt jokic be in the conversation?

[–] srschisa@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Thadius Young

[–] RagnaFarron@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I respect his game and how he carried his team for years, but i always thought Paul Pierce was clunky as all hell. He still makes me scratch my head but he deff was a top star in the league for years

[–] biffbobfred@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Been a while, but Rodman’s offensive game was … yikes.

[–] The_Blackfish_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

T.J. Warren

George Niang. He looks like he's playing pickup at a family barbeque.

[–] Puchaks_101@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ty Haliburton. Not that fluid in his dribbling, though fast, has an awkward shooting form and motion, but is so effective in the game.

[–] spundred@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jokic's passing looks effortless and smooth, but his scoring looks like it happens as a clumsy fluke.

[–] JediNeo101@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Domantas Sabonis

[–] diyuttjunger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Both Ball brothers
