      Omair Haque perfect analogy. Bruce was all about hacking away at the inessential. No wasted movements, or flashy moves needed. Even though Mike and Bruce both were known for their showmanship and could be flashy at times, they really just focused on absorbing what was useful and discarding what was useless.

The Heat with just Wade and Bosh possibly wouldn't even be in East finals without Lebron, definitely not winning a championship and breaking records. And Ray Allen wasnt an allstar when he joined , he was 38years old specialist and as 4th best player on a team at that stage of his career it wasn't like omg that's crazy or anything. Also as third options Klay Thompsons game adjusts as well as anyone in history to being a 3rd wheel, the best part of Boshs game was getting isolations and now being the 3rd option he had to change what made him an allstar in the first place.

    Ball Handling break down. Not just can you get fancy. That's wasted movement. Growing up if you can't get by a guy with 2/3 moves then what are you doing. If you're hooped you played 3 dribbles often. MJ didn't waste motion, didn't waste energy. His, what we know now as fast twitch is unreal. Flawless athlete. Flawless fundamentals, defense proper hand position when playing the passing lane. He is the GREATEST. NBA player ever. This isn't up for discussion.

      You're right. As a great ball handler you definitely don't want to waste movement/time. That's why Allen Iverson would blow past people with his first step or crossover. Same with Tim Hardaway crossover. Kyrie is a great player and ball handler, but usually use many moves to get pass his defender.
