How was Kobe able to be one of the greatest players of all time while considering himself a gamer? I thought that games negatively impacted his body and brain?


These are facts for sure Kobe was a gamer this picture of him holding a joystick proves that he played all day.

Exactly! Like posting random articles about famous people (actors? lol) playing video games changes the fact that some people can moderate their time playing video games better than others.

I think you cannot get over it, you can post another 100 posts in order to prove that you are a big video gamer and video games affect your brain and body and make you dizzy

Like imagine having the audacity to argue some players have better "time management" when one of the video posted was Karl Anthony Towns was up late playing PUBG the night before a game. :lol:

If you don't think it's possible that some people are worse at their jobs than others because they spend an inordinate amount of time on hobbies... then I don't know what to tell you. Good luck

So, you are sure that these players were playing big hours video games. You have all the proves I know. Kobe Bryant and Lebron James spending so many hours in the gym, with families and personal lifes were big gamers. It makes sense.
You can find a link MJ saying I played all day super Mario and had no impact in my game.

wut does this say?

1. Again, Here you are making up numbers this is nowhere near my 100th post in this thread. Doesn't feel good when metaphors are taken literal, does it?

2. You have 5 less posts in this thread. Next time you try to call someone out maybe look in the mirror before you do.

Who said this? Or is this just your feeble attempt at a fallacy?

What proof do you have of the inordinate amount of time Wiggins is playing video games?

Could it be that the guy who can get to the rim at will when he gets called out by his coach just maybe doesn't have the heart for the game?

No, it is the inordinate amount of vidya games he plays.

It was the video games that made him chuck long shots instead of drive and play bad defense...

Weird how every time he gets called out he magically regains the skills he lost from playing video games, and can all of a sudden drive and score at will.

You say the same things again and again although I have answered to you.
We don't have proves how many hours Wiggins plays. If he plays a lot of hours it is not good for him. If not he can focus more to his main activity basketball.
Come on man, get over it, you continue a discussion without a reason

I don't need to post evidence of anything because I never said definitively that video games were the problem, it's just a theory based on how often he posts about video games on social media.

I think a guy with God given athleticism at the 99.999999% percentile who hasn't improved much at all since entering the league most definitely lacks heart for the game. I also think it makes perfect sense that someone who has a lack of heart for their career would spend more time on their hobbies instead of improving their craft.

Could it be that your bias is making you believe he plays more video games than he actually does? Because outside of a single handful COD events over his entire career and random posts of wins on snapchat I have no other proof that he is spending this inordinate amount of time playing video games that people in here have claimed.

Hell, I haven't even seen him post anything about video games in at the very least a month probably 2 months.

The only articles you have brought to this thread were on people with motion sickness playing video games with ads for freaking Dramamine. It was pretty simple to understand that you don't know what good sources are.

Wiggins has the skills he just doesn't have the will to be great. All of the flaws in his game are directly related to his effort and mentality. Defense, how often is he in an aggressive guarding stance like Okogie or Culver. That is effort. Rebounding is very little about skill, it is mostly positioning and effort. Weird how he can get to the rim at will. Weird how we know he can dunk on literally anybody in the league. How often do you see Wiggins moving at full speed? He doesn't cut hard. The only time he moves off the ball well are designed plays on hand offs from Towns or the backside screen from Towns for a Wiggins alley top. It is all about Wiggins' "want to."

I have said it for years and will continue to Wiggins is the perfect 6th man on a playoff team. He isnt a number 2 type guy. He isnt a bad basketball player the hate comes his way because he was a top pick and so much hype was sold about him. He would be a perennial 6th man of the year type.
