One
of the most spectacular players in the NBA... Simply unbelievable
leaping skills... The best dunker ever, but obviously not only
a dunker... Very creative scorer... His jumper has constantly
improved over the years... A lot of finesse... Doesn't need
to play his best to score 20-plus points per contest... Has
good rebounding ability... Should attack the basket more...
Doesn't put much effort on defense... Injury prone. |
