I know some of you wanted to do this one, and I know I normally don’t, but on redacted I used to make these all the time so I figured it’s my turn to farm upvotes
A foreword:
Bol Bol is so great,
He could shoot over your dad,
Having Bol is fun
This card, as the kids say, is a “pooh shiesty moment”. If you were planning on grinding for the Racist at PF, don’t fret, you can run a better card, without using a piece of shit! If you can’t score with Bol Squared, you are garbage at the game. Here is why he is the best card in the game
Shooting:
This is a given. Brook Lopez base on VQ is super fast, and it has a much bigger green window than Kristaps’s release from last year. Even if you don’t love this release, don’t worry about it! He’ll shoot over every card in the game with his immense size and wingspan
Dribbling:
This is honestly his greatest category. They gave, 7’2”, C/PF, Bol Bol, Magic Johnson dribbles. I’m sorry if you are on current gen, because the feeling of Curry Sliding with this card is magical. The Pro 3 BTB can get you by any defender, guard or big, and his size, speed and dribble style makes him one of the most explosive cards in the game
Athleticism:
This category was surprising to me. He is the fastest card in the game, bar none. Down the court, he might have competition, but out of the sizeup, he is truly by himself. To add to his speed, this card is one of the best dunkers of any center I’ve used. They gave him great animations all around, which makes it very easy to get wide open or contact dunks. Bol is not incredibly strong, but his strength is high enough that in a year like 2k21 where it isn’t very important, he will definitely get by.
Defense:
This is Bol’s worst category. Not a big deal, because he is still a fantastic interior defender, and a solid perimeter defender, but it needs to be brought up. A ball handling matchup for Bol could prove to be an issue, because his gold clamps stops nothing for fast cards. This is why I actually prefer Bol at center, but he may be better at PF as well depending on what you need.
In conclusion, anyone who can afford this card is either starting him or is an idiot. No in between. This is the Opal Token Reward from 2K20 but at C/PF instead of PF/SF. Whenever we get the SG/SF version of this card, he will be the best card in the game without a doubt.
