Nah Jokic has better touch overall

[–] reading-out-loud@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So does Kyrie for that matter

[–] Funkytadualexhaust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've never seen someone so good at half court layups

[–] Proximity_Intel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Julius Randle with hops

[–] N0rTh3Fi5t@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This title had me expect this to be a comedic low-light of him blasting a ball off the backboard or something.

[–] aroach1995@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this a Moriah Mills quote?

[–] stonkerooni@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this a title or an admittance?

[–] ktdotnova@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why are Zion's strengths? Does he just have a high motor plus athleticism to barrow his way to the rim every possession?

[–] hexapawn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Zion eats handfuls of mayonnaise straight from the jar and chugs Louisiana Hot Sauce to wash it down.

[–] death_threatz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's got a crazy fast first step + his weight + his touch/english and the angles he uses make him v difficult to contain in close

[–] magicbeaned@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Do you have a paper towel to wipe up after he touched you so softly?

[–] Good_NewsEveryone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ok Moriah cool off

[–] Matt_McT@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone attack the rim with such a high success rate, even though everyone knows it's coming. Dude is literally 10/10 from the field as a type this, and there's nothing the Sixers can do to stop him.

[–] Gnius1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's the anti-Maggette.

why is this highlight title an oped

[–] Redditorialist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I thought it was going to be sarcasm. Like when the title says “LeBron goes for a leisurely stroll in a garden.” And it’s a video of him taking six egregious steps from half court to the baseline with no dribble at MSG.

[–] purplebuffalo55@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It makes sense. Bro is extremely familiar with soft serve

[–] MrDanduff@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] PaytonPeytonPaton@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

defo players with comparable touch

[–] FootballWithTheFoot@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed, but he’s up there imo

[–] debaserr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I will take Jokic on that one. Zion is definitely an incredible finisher though.

[–] Jonesbro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not according to moriah mills

[–] bigDIEter@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure Jokic still exists. Zion is certainly up there though.

[–] meshah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Had to look twice at where that hit the glass. Great angle.

[–] Altruistic_Berry_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Zion is probably the single most unique athlete in North American sports I’ve ever seen.

[–] ElectricLotus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tbf, Lightning McQueen us a talking car so got em there imo

[–] kai2296@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

38% from 3-10 feet...objectively bad touch on non-layups.

[–] Remarkable_Pound_722@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

so is giddey's

[–] -KFBR392@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He’s the greatest shooter I’ve ever seen within 3 feet of the basket. His touch is god tier.

[–] 300_yard_drives@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Guess you don’t watch Franz

[–] smalls_1804@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's the most underrated part of this game. He has freakish athleticism but often just uses it to jump high enough to kiss it off the glass rather than always trying to yam it on mfers.

Except for Jokic
