and im all for that

Stop trying to create huge monsters then.

Are you saying that Magic is more athletic than Durant??? and i'm not talking about doing MJ switch hand layups or hang in the air through contact like D-Rose. i'm talking basic one foot gather layups out of the rookie guard package. Amare And Blake griffin can jump out the gym, yet if you trigger their layups they look like Kwame brown. It just takes away from the game when using these players. Its not real or sim to dunk on every drive, but let the athletic big men show some ATHLETICISM on their Layups also.

Peace.

So the big men layups for the athletic ones need to be quicker and lighter instead of the heavy slow man kwame brown layups. How would you feel if Amare & High Griffinition used max vertical on all their layups and have their hands at the top of the square on the backboard?

First off it will look ugly when the ball shoots out and drops at a downward angle toward the backboard. Second that is isn't cheese if they did that how would you stop them without a foul?
Third I dont think ive ever seen a big man use max hops and do a layup if they get up their they'll slam it if not they will lay it up. & I truly think magic could of done more acrobatic things in the air than Durant has showed so far in his NBA career thus far. I know KD35 has been blowing up all summer/fall doing crazy things. . Rudy gay is nowhere (take with grain of salt) near as graceful as LBJ in air en-route to the rim. Close but its a whole other level with LBJ
