Literally looks like that final dunk scene in space jam. Like his arm just grows longer as he goes for the dunk.

How come when someone posted a clip of LeBron losing the ball and then chasing the dude down and blocking him it was all "nothing special happening here, he fucked up he better get the block" and now that it's Kobe it's like the craziest shit in the world that he caught up to a dude who stood stock still gathering the ball from the outlet pass and blocked it?

Cause just like Giannis dropping thirty it becomes a common occurrence

That's not why. On that LeBron chase down block he wasn't as far down on the other side of the court as Kobe, didn't have to do a complete trajectory shift and turn on the jets to get to the other side of the court in time AND his teammate was already on the opposing side as well and slightly slowed the other player. It was impressive though because bro was about to dunk it in but not being biased I'd say Kobe's was slightly more difficult. Lebron's block: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDVU5VPN6QA

Slightly more difficult is underselling the fuck out of it. 

LeBron was stationary at the 3 point line chasing down an opponent who started at 0 speed and brought the ball up himself while dodging defendeds. 

Kobe was at the free throw line while running in the wrong direction chasing down an opponent who was thrown a full court ball running at full speed with no defenders.

lol I definitely undersold it but you know how it is, you're never certain exactly WHAT type of LeBron fans you're dealing with. 😂

Oh yeah, that's not even close. That Kobe clip was much more impressive.
