How come Kobe has only scored 40 once in the finals?

[amfirst]

U don't need to score 40 because ur team mates don't suck. Now if u put 2006 lakers in the finals then he'll give u a few of those.

[returnofthemack]

shaq needed someone like kobe to help get those first 3 rings. bottom line is kobe played a huge role in those shaq/kobe lakers championship teams. yeah they are shaqs but shaq couldnt do it without kobe.

say you just throw the first three championships out the window. that still leaves two championships with kobe being the main man. that is no small accomplishment.

when you add the two things together is clearly shows that kobe is a great player. love him or hate him there is no denying that when it came time to bring home the bacon wheter as the 2nd option or 1st he was successful

Because most of the teams he's faced are great defensively and also the fact thatin the finals you win as a team meaning tht you need balance amongst your team.

lmao! i just came in to this thread to see if some kobetard would desperately avoid the actual subject of the thread by bringing up Lebron last Finals and his lack of rings to excuse Kobes suckiness (and even ignore that Kobe played much more Finals games and that he averaged 15 PPG once)... and yes that happened... :oldlol:

You know else happened in that series? This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7Lp5aQq4zI

Far, far better than anything Lebron has ever done in the Finals. His averages are brought down because he got injured 9 minutes into game 2.

Lebron, on the other hand, averaged just 17 points without even being injured. Ouch. So 20 year old Kobe's Finals performance was better than prime Lebron's Finals performance. Ouch :oldlol:

Remind him of what 2007 Lebron did vs Bowen and then compare it to what Kobe did to the exact same spurs team in 08 lmao!

He had 2 games in that series with 26+ points.
Lebron has never scored 26 points in the finals
:oldlol:
In that game Kobe scored more clutch baskets than Lebron ever did in the Finals. Lebron scored 0 points on 0-7 shooting in crunchtime last june :oldlol:

lets PLEASE not compare kobrick cryant to a 21 year old taking a pathetic scrub team to its first finals appearance in franchise history by going 1 on 5 rambo taking out a championship team all by himself (pistons)........ cavs were NOT supposed to be there and lebron couldnt keep up with his EPIC 25++++ points in 4th quarter clutch performances and triple doubles every single game
that 1 on 5 rambo team got exposed by a REAL TEAM

put lebron in the finals now and u will see what he will do
he will put up the greatest finals performance ever

This is kinda stupid.

I didn't even know Kobe scored 40 in any game in the Finals.

Not many people have and that is pretty impressive.

So this thread is doing the opposite of its intent (bashing Kobe).

[sportjames23]

dynesty teams dont need 1 player to score all the points. thats why theyre in the finals every year

only jordan hogged on dynesty teams because it was a weak era



Bitch, please. :oldlol:

I agree.

[King Jane]

In NBA Finals better defense is played which exposes his comparatively limited older fashion methods for scoring. New-age athletes like Durant or Lebron learned at a young age to score in more ways with their newer training regimens.

[HOoopCityJones]

Easy to hate on Kobe when he's broken down and on the downside of an illustrious career. Dude's logged alot of minutes , and the hate he gets these days is a combination of witnessing Bron's prime and alittle bit of payback for all the time he's absolutely gutted some people's favorite Teams. Let the irrational haters have their day.

Take ESPN writer Henry Abbot for example , he hates Kobe's guts and is always trying to disprove his overall impact on a team. What he doesn't tell you is that he's actually still butthurt from Shaq and Kobe torching one of The Blazer's great teams in the previous era that coulda made some noise in NBA history had not been for Big Shot Rob and the infamous Kobe to Shaq, alley Oop.

Wrong, Kobe has won 2 out of 4 Finals since he took over as the man in 2003-2004. :no:

Agreed, Mr. Macattack. I believe that Wade's game 5 of the 2006 finals and
Westbrook's game 4 of the 2012 finals (both 43 points) were the highest scoring
performances since Shaq in 2000. Which is saying something.

Think of all the 50 and 60 point games we've had since Jordan retired, particularly
after the reinterpretion of the handchecking rules in 2005. Not a single player has
managed to hit 45 since game 6 in Utah in 98. The defensive intensity is exponentially
greater in the finals.

[Knicks014Champs]

Kobe shoots a lot, Melo makes a lot. If Melo had teams like Kobe he would have more rings and multiple 40+ finals games, probably atleast one 50+ game.
