Nah Jokic has better touch overall

[–] reading-out-loud@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

So does Kyrie for that matter

[–] Funkytadualexhaust@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Proximity_Intel@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Julius Randle with hops

[–] N0rTh3Fi5t@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

Is this a Moriah Mills quote?

[–] stonkerooni@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Is this a title or an admittance?

[–] ktdotnova@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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 9 months 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 9 months 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 9 months ago

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

[–] Good_NewsEveryone@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Ok Moriah cool off

[–] Matt_McT@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

He's the anti-Maggette.

why is this highlight title an oped

[–] Redditorialist@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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 9 months ago (1 children)

It makes sense. Bro is extremely familiar with soft serve

[–] MrDanduff@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago
[–] PaytonPeytonPaton@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

defo players with comparable touch

[–] FootballWithTheFoot@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Agreed, but he’s up there imo

[–] debaserr@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jonesbro@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Not according to moriah mills

[–] bigDIEter@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] meshah@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Altruistic_Berry_@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] ElectricLotus@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] kai2296@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Remarkable_Pound_722@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

so is giddey's

[–] -KFBR392@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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 9 months ago

Guess you don’t watch Franz

[–] smalls_1804@alien.top 1 points 9 months 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.

[–] pointguard22@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Except for Jokic
