subject: A Contrast Between Kobe And Mcgrady [print this page] In NBA, the quantity of the excellent players is in countless. And Kobe and McGrady are two brilliant players amid the titan. They share a lot of similarities as well as the disparity. Here is a discussion of their qualities one by one.
McGrady is the record holder of block shot amid the many full backs with 1.7 times per game in a single season. And the brilliant achievement ought to be linked with his lengthy arms and legs, excellent ability in bounce and the not too bad sense of defence. But in the recent years, he has little performance in this aspect. And this year he only has created the statistic of 0.45 times per game, which is the lowest one during his career life. Kobe, however, has kept a good record in block shot for the current years. Many of his shots have been listed on the board of the five or ten best shots. The players who suffer from his block shot are so outstanding and plentiful that they even can form an all-star team.
McGrady, who once was excellent in steals, could no longer have an admirable performance as before. Kobe has been able to gain the tenth rank in the league in the aspect after hard labours this year. Maybe Kobe now and then has made a steal in a bet-like way and been blamed by the people. But we may appreciate it in this way that he is eager to block the rivals' attack. On the fifth game of this year, the Lakers was able to defend its honor in the home field due to Kobe's excellent steals against Paul Pierce.
Kobe and Jordan are believed to be akin in personality. When he appeared to the finals with an air of King, the impression was especially intense. But the failure of the finals and the imperfect performance on the finals had greatly disappointed the individuals that he still had a long path to go to reach the realm of the god of basketball. The inactive eyes and the omnipotent skills in getting a score have shaped McGrady into a drowsy killer. But this kind of disposition seems to have a decline for the current years. The characteristic of the killer has turned into an unmindful look.
Kobe has been as much praised as criticized. Many folks have placed criticism on him with the occurrence of the Zippergate and the collapse of the kingdom of the Lakers. Though he is able to make up the figure through the 81 points and the several times' MVP, the failure of the finals has brought to him one more criticism. McGrady yet, has a positive figure all the time. In the mind of the persons, he is a player of superiority, a father of responsibility and a husband of care. And such positive figure has enabled him to be a continuous partner of the Addidas corporation. For Kobe, there as well has the coming out of the series of Kobe shoes after his cooperation with the Nike company.
