Michael Jordan, the greatest shooting guard in NBA history, moved with an incredible fluidity. The quick shake of his shoulders, a wiggle of his hips, a tilt of his head could all leave defenders helpless.
The same can be said for Kobe Bryant — the closest thing to Jordan that has ever existed — a guard who could spin around and slice through whatever a defense put in his direction.
And Shaquille O’Neal, a player bigger, quicker, more agile and stronger than any other center in the league, couldn’t be stopped by anyone. Just throw him the ball and get out of the way.
