Is this highlights from the 2010 Finals Game Seven??

[gengiskhan]

* except for the playoffs

& except in the finals.

& except against great competition.

& except against Physical defense.

& except against arch-rivals of equal calibre (Leron, Wade, Iverson).

[TheMarkMadsen]

Thats as many as Durant has in 4 years ... Durant > Kobe ... plus he plays in a more difficult era with longer, more athletic defenders.


yeah im sure the 6'10 durant is really worried about longer defenders, plus since when was 2006 & 2010 considered different eras? You're reaching son :no:

[sayitaintso]

He also lead his team to impressive playoff exits. He lead the Lakers in the 2008 Finals Game Six record breaking deficit.

[Jacks3]

How'd his team do? How far did they go in the playoffs?
The fact that he got into the playoffs in the West with such garbage (Smush/Kwame/Cook/Walton/George/Mihm-oh lawd) is a miracle.

Stop the hate. Appreciate.

Yeah, it's called carrying a team. Doesn't change the fact that his supporting cast was a garbage.

So those massive stats are inflated because he had a horrible team? Oh, I see... :rolleyes:

Especially that legendary game seven performance against Boston. He was unstoppable offensively in that game from the free throw line.

[FourthTenor]

Stop the hate. Appreciate.

You mean Kobe + Odom/Bynum/Farmar/Radman/Turiaf/Vujacic

A lot of players could get to the 8th seed in a West that wasn't deep at the time with that lineup. Look at the teams they had to beat out, Twolves, Grizzlies, Clippers etc.

They were pretty much just a default team to round out the playoffs. Once in it, they were swiftly devoured. We saw this year what happens when Shaq aint there and Pau aint bailin him out. Same thing as happened those years in '06, '07 etc

[Jacks3]

I never remember Jordan losing a finals series. Phil Jackson didn't lose a first round series until Kobe became the alpha male on the Lakers, and that was a series Lakers blew a 3-1 series lead...something Jordan never accomplished.

Or setting final exit like the following:
Game 6 of the 2008 Finals: Boston wins the title with a 39-point blowout, Kobe goes 7-for-22.

Game 7 of the 2010 Finals: Kobe goes for 6-24. He must have had more free throws than field goals that game. #Winning but not a lot of highlights from the *most* unstoppable scorer.

[madmax]

oh, the seasons when GOAT chucker had a green light brick as much as he wishes and some nights more of his shots went in rather than not:lol And then quitting in playoffs against D'Antoni's defense-less Suns while blowing a 3-1 series lead:bowdown: Amazing achievement indeed...

This is really ****ing ironic coming from a Lebron stan :oldlol:

I love how the only way people can insult Kobe is by comparing him to the GOAT. Everybody looks bad when compared to Jordan.

[AMISTILLILL]

The fact that he got into the playoffs in the West with such garbage (Smush/Kwame/Cook/Walton/George/Mihm-oh lawd) is a miracle.

Stop the hate. Appreciate.

Yeah, dude. The western conference was a REAL powerhouse in 05-06, can't believe the Lakers made it. You realize the Ron Artest Kings, LA Clippers, Nuggets and Grizzlies also went to the playoffs that season, right? It's not as if the Lakers were facing elite competition or the '86 Celtics out west to get a playoff berth. Pau Gasol had an even worse team in Memphis and Carmelo Anthony had just as much of a ramshackle cast of characters as Kobe that year. Chucking your team into a first round exit isn't the lofty accomplishment a lot of you Lakers faithful make it out to be.

[sayitaintso]

I love how the only way people can insult Kobe is by comparing him to the GOAT. Everybody looks bad when compared to Jordan.

I disagreed. Everybody doesn't look bad (assuming we look at top basketball players the last five years) when compared to Jordan. But it exposes the hype machine overrating players. We already witness the hype machine on LeBron after the Eastern Conference Finals 2011 and look how that turned out for him the next series. He went from being proclaimed a closer back to choker status.

[Jacks3]

Chucking your team into a first round exit isn't the lofty accomplishment a lot of you Lakers faithful make it out to be.
It's not chucking if your efficiency is at 56% TS. Nice try.

And yes, getting 45 wins/7th in ORTG/7th in SRS with a supporting cast consisting of scrubs like Kwame/Mihm/Cook/Smush/Walton/Geaorge is a impressive accomplishment.

i was looking up other lakers' ts% that year, expecting to see many higher ones, but kobe's ts% that year was actually second on his team, so you couldnt have accused kobe of chucking that year. anyway league average is 54%, so 56% isnt bad

You're really going to claim Kobe Bryant's never seen a shot that he didn't like?

I suppose Pau Gasol is a GOAT because he dragged Memphis into the playoffs with 49 wins, with a supporting cast of Battier and Chucky Atkins? My, the parameters for greatness certainly have changed.

Boast about Bryant's other laurels and achievements, but don't cite that 05-06 season as one of them. People did much more with MUCH less.

Um no.

You can't compare the TS% of a guy scoring 35.4 PPG and drawing a ton of defensive attention to...role-players.

56% TS on that kind of volume is very solid.

Definitely not "chucking".

[Calabis]

most unstoppable scorer has only 2 scoring titles in 15 seasons lol....

Don't u know that Kobe is the only player who's prime was two seasons long, all the other seasons he's either been injured or it was SHaq's fault....lol

Only a matter of time before insecure Jordan stans came in here. :roll:

[Calabis]

I love how the only way people can insult Kobe is by comparing him to the GOAT. Everybody looks bad when compared to Jordan.

Well calling in the most unstoppable scorer ever is retarded, is he the most dangerous when hot...yes I will agree to that, but Jordan was more unstoppable....why because he did it on a more consistent basis...yes u can wipe Kobe's first couple of seasons out and he still doesn't match MJ's avg....just saying

[RoseCity07]

Not even close. You aren't unstoppable when you have 12-27 games even in your prime.

Did he ever have a year where he shot above 50%? He's a great scorer, but so was Iverson. The only reason you are making this thread is because Kobe played on some great Lakers teams.

Iverson waisted his prime in Philly. I think had he won some rings there would threads like this about AI.

[Calabis]

Only a matter of time before insecure Jordan stans came in here. :roll:


Well what do u expect when the title of the thread has no merit....how is he the most unstoppable scorer ever?? What gives him a case over MJ??? Nothing....Its like me starting a thread "Jordan best scorer during a individual season" No its not true Wilt holds that honor and I would expect Wilt fans to call me out on in....Kobestans have this misunderstanding of Kobe hate and Kobestan hate....start false thread, don't get mad when people call u out...simple

You're purposely ignoring a guys longstanding reputation for being a ball hog and a chucker, and I get that. At least I'll acknowledge the guy as an all-time great, despite disliking him as a player immensely. Meanwhile, you're feigning ignorance to established fact and the reality of issues that have spawned criticism and maligned his career for years. I get that you have a hard-on for the guy, but come on. Throwing percentages at people doesn't revise history.

Perhaps if he hadn't put up the solid numbers you're lauding, was a better distributor and involved his teammates more that '05-'06 first round exit you're praising might have been something more. The guy doesn't make the people around him better. It's as simple as that.

Now you're disputing that those were Pau Gasol's Grizzlies? Tell me, whose were they? Battiers? Eddie Jones', perhaps? In your skewed perception of the NBA, does the person who puts up the most impressive stat line attain leadership status? That's what it sounds like.

2005-2006 is one of the great highlights of his career? Because he played 1-on-5 for an entire season? You're aware this is the same year he was criticized for seemingly quitting against Phoenix in the playoffs? Are you being stubborn and revisionist on purpose, or is this the unfortunate result of deeper seated issues? I'm genuinely perplexed.

The fact that you scoff when I suggest players have done more with teams boasting inferior supporting casts sort of kills your credibility in a myriad of ways. You genuinely believe Kobe had it tougher in '05-'06 than any other star player who hobbled into the playoffs with a sub-par group of guys. You and I both know that isn't true.

[INDI]

Pretty much. If you're putting up those numbers and not going anywhere, it means shit.


See statements like these are the reason Kobe never gets his proper due respect. We say scoring almost 36 points a game doesn't mean anything and we talk about getting bounced in the first round negates his accomplishments, but yet we praise jordans abilities when he dominated for years without getting his team to the promised land.


Question: where did jordan's bulls end up the year that he averaged the amazing 37 ppg?

Answer: Swept in the first round.

But yet you hatred leave that part out because it was grey performances that he gave us, but Kobe it don't matter because he didn't go anywhere. Quit with the double standard that man is one of two of the greatest scorers this game has/will ever see, barring nobody. When lebron wade durant sniffs 70 get back at me but til then y'all suckers enjoy the show

ni99as have to compare Kobe to Jordan to downgrade him, Kobe is the 2nd greatest scorer in the modern era.

Theres a reason why they don't compare Kobe to the likes of Lebron or Durant and thats because Kobe eats those ni99as up, he's on a complaetely different plane

Are you being stubborn and revisionist on purpose, or is this the unfortunate result of deeper seated issues? I'm genuinely perplexed.

The fact that you scoff when I suggest players have done more with teams boasting inferior supporting casts sort of kills your credibility in a myriad of ways. You genuinely believe Kobe had it tougher in '05-'06 than any other star player who hobbled into the playoffs with a sub-par group of guys. You and I both know that isn't true.

ni99as have to compare Kobe to Jordan to downgrade him, Kobe is the 2nd greatest scorer in the modern era.

Theres a reason why they don't compare Kobe to the likes of Lebron or Durant and thats because Kobe eats those ni99as up, he's on a complaetely different plane

Yes which is why I think he is the greatest individual player of his generation and a top 10 all time great....but that is seen as Kobe hate, we need 30 threads a day about why he is better than everyone else and let's tear down the others to bolster our Kobe claims

You're purposely ignoring a guys longstanding reputation for being a ball hog and a chucker, and I get that. At least I'll acknowledge the guy as an all-time great, despite disliking him as a player immensely. Meanwhile, you're feigning ignorance to established fact and the reality of issues that have spawned criticism and maligned his career for years. I get that you have a hard-on for the guy, but come on. Throwing percentages at people doesn't revise history.
lol

Who cares what people think? We're talking about 2006. His TS% was 56%.

That's not chucking. Deal ith it.


Perhaps if he hadn't put up the solid numbers you're lauding, was a better distributor and involved his teammates more that '05-'06 first round exit you're praising might have been something more. The guy doesn't make the people around him better. It's as simple as that.

Holy crap. This is some ignorant shit. Did you watch the 2006 first-round? He played excellent team-ball in that series. And he averaged 35/5/5/2/56% TS on the season. He did everything he could. Maybe if he actually had a decent supporting cast, the Lakers could have been better. :rolleyes:

Guess you missed what happened when he had a good cast. Back-to-back championships.

As for not making his teammates better...just wrong. Parker, Odom, Pau, Kwame, Ariza, Cook etc are ALL guys who have played their best play next to Bryant and who showed their biggest improvement/best play during their time with the Lakers.


Now you're disputing that those were Pau Gasol's Grizzlies? Tell me, whose were they? Battiers? Eddie Jones', perhaps? In your skewed perception of the NBA, does the person who puts up the most impressive stat line attain leadership status? That's what it sounds like.
No, I'm disputing the idea that Pau was "carrying" anything. Those Grizzlies teams won through team effort and defense. Pau was doing nothing special.

18/9? C'mon. lol @ you acting like that's in any way, shape, or form comparable to 06 Kobe. You're deluded.

Are you retarded? That was easily one of the great highlights of his career.

He put up 35/5/5/2/56%. Made All-NBA 1st Team. Made All-NBA 1st Team defense. Led a horrible cast to 45 wins/7th ORTG/7th in SRS in a tough conference. Established himself as arguably the best player in the league. Had the greatest pace-adjusted scoring season EVER.

So true. With the way these stans act, you'd think Kobe has like 7+ scoring titles and 30+ games of 40+ in the playoffs and at least 6 games of 50+ in the playoffs. But alas, some things are too much to ask for... :oldlol:

Kobe = GOAT scorer against scrub teams in the regular season. Roughly 60% of his 40+ point and 50+ point games came in 2006/2007, and the average record of the teams he scored 40+ on during those seasons was 39-41, and the record of teams he scored 50+ on was 37-42. GOAT scorer indeed. <snicker> :oldlol:

yah the grizz were a solid defensive team but im more impressed by the variety of moves and elusiveness kobe showed on the offensive end. He basically scored every way imaginable.

[Micku]

Kobe was awesome. The dude had no weakness on the offensive end except for shot selection, but still rocked. One of the most difficult perimeter players to guard of all time. One of the most unstoppable scorers of all time indeed.

[Eat Like A Bosh]

I don't get why people are hatin.

Prime Kobe definitely was a dominant scorer. He was like the best impossible shot maker out there.

It's not his fault he had a shit team composed with Kwame Brown and Smush Parker. Especially in 2006, Kobe was worth 20 wins for them. At least! They won 45 games at made the playoffs with a team,a team that you look at now, most of those dudes aren't even in the league anynore.

If it wasn't for Kobe, will they even win 20 games?

He had free reign when they were losing in the playoffs and when he didn't they were winning championships, why would you want him to have free reign?

[Papaya Petee]

Most unstoppable, except.

Playoffs
When playin against tough defenses
When playing against LeBron, Iverson, or Wade
When Shaq is on his team.
When he plays Dirk

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

He had free reign when they were losing in the playoffs and when he didn't they were winning championships, why would you want him to have free reign?

The reason he had "free reign" is because the team around him sucked, as with any star player they pretty much have the green light to do whatever when the supporting cast is not up to par.

When the team is good enough to contend, he doesn't have to put up 35ppg. He probably could've very well done it again in '08 but he didn't need to. And he still was 2nd in the league in scoring with 28ppg

If Kobe had never played with Shaq and had "free reign" from 01-08 he would definitely have more scoring titles, albeit less championships. So in the end it all worked out. I'm sure he would rather have 5 titles and 2 scoring titles than 0 titles and 7 scoring titles

[Odinn]

Mj was the best scorer of all time and in 87 he proved that with.....

Averaging 37 points per game

Also the next year with 35 per game with 60% TS.


2 games of 60+

[kaiiu]

lol MJ scored most of his points in the no D 80s and the 90s without other star wings to compete for scoring titles

[Samurai Swoosh]

lol MJ scored most of his points in the no D 80s and the 90s without other star wings to compete for scoring titles
MJ was just more dominant than his contemporaries, that simple. MJ was competing against centers for scoring titles, who are way more effecient. Kobe has more competition at the wing and guard positions, because a generation of players based their game off Jordan. A bunch of mini Jordan clones running around battling it out. Plus the rule changes to help guards and wings. The point you make explains why Kobe's the 2nd best SG of all-time, however.

[ThaSwagg3r]

In this era, Jordan would average 35 ppg every season at the very least. It's not that the defenses are necessarily worse. It is that it is much easier to get to the line now a days than it was back in the day.

Simply put? Jordan was a better scorer than Kobe ever was.

[Solid Snake]

If you're the most unstoppable scorer of all time, then you'd have MULTIPLE scoring titles.

[AlphaWolf24]

Kobe does own Jordan with the following:

Based on what? Your ass? Jordan has a higher TS% and eFG% if you want to adjust.

[jlauber]

Prime Shaq
Prime Kareem
Prime Jordan

Prime Wilt (mostly regular seasons, just like Kobe)

These 4 were more unstoppable than Prime Kobe.

A PRIME "scoring" Wilt averaged 34 ppg and 27 rpg on 51% shooting (in leagues that shot 43% on average) in his first SIX post-seasons...with post-seasons as high as 37.0 ppg and THREE playoff series of 37, 37, and 39 ppg. He also had FOUR 50+ point games in the playoffs, and several 40.

Just against Russell alone, he had FOUR 40-30 games, FOUR series of over 30 ppg, a 50-35 "must-win" game five in '60, a "must-win 46-34 game five in '66, and even a 30 ppg - 31 rpg seven game series against him. Later, he also had a TRIPLE DOUBLE series against Russell, outscoring Russell per game, 22-10, outrebounding him, per game, 32-23, outassisting him, per game, 10-6, and outshooting him from the field, .556 to .358.

I could go on, but even in Wilt's first NINE seasons...COMBINED, he averaged 29.3 ppg, 26.6 rpg, 4.8 apg, shot .518 (again, in league's that shot around .430) and probably blocked 8+ bpg in the POST-SEASON.

So, once-and-for-all, let's dispense with this MYTH that Wilt's post-season play declined significantly. In his "scoring" prime, there have only been a couple of other players in NBA history that could match his pure scoring. And NO ONE else could equal his rebounding.

[jlauber]

Career playoff scoring average ... not 6 or 7 years.

What an idiot, old man.

:facepalm

Hmmm...the OP mentioned a PRIME Kobe...

And to be honest, it didn't even mention playoff scoring either. If we go strictly on PRIME scoring...well, give me the names of the players that averaged 40 ppg over the course of their SEVEN best seasons...COMBINED?

now, who is the REAL idiot here?

:facepalm

[AMISTILLILL]

Bait thread is bait thread.

[AlphaWolf24]

Based on what? Your ass? Jordan has a higher TS% and eFG% if you want to adjust.


based on him shooting 41%....
the whole "MJ in this era would average 35+.." is bull....

history proved his scoring and FG% dropped off as the 90's wore on....and he shot horrible in the 2000's

2 totally different era's.....

This is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during MJ's era(1985-1998).

Michael Jordan - 6 times
Chris Mullen - 6 times
Adrian Dantley - 4 times
Kiki Vandewedge - 4 times
Reggie Miller - 3 times
James Worthy - 3 times
Alex English - 3 times
Dale Ellis - 3 times
Magic Johnson - 2 times
Penny Hardaway - 2 times
Kevin Johnson - 2 times
Clyde Drexler - 2 times
Cedric Ceballos - 2 times
Mark Aguirre - 2 times
Gary Payton - once
Byron Scott - once
Rolando Blackman - once
Walter Davis - once
Jeff Hornacek - once
Otis Birdsong - once
Jeff Malone - once
George Gervin - once
Drazen Petrovic - once
Reggie Lewis - once
Derek Smith - once
Scottie Pippen - once



And here is the list of guards/small forwards who shot over 50% and had 20+ PPG during the post-Lockout era(2000-2010).

Lebron James - once
Chris Paul - once
Tony Parker - once
Monta Ellis - once
Shawn Marion - once


So in MJ's era it was done 56 times by 26 different players.

In the last 11 years, it has been done only 5 times by 5 different players.

[jlauber]

Still you ...

MJ > Wilt (regular season)
MJ >>> Wilt (playoffs)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/MitchMatch/tumblr_lifjn3jWAz1qhjerpo1_400.gif

So, a PRIME Jordan averaged 39.4 ppg in his first seven seasons, combined...then? He had the FOUR highest scoring seasons in NBA history? He had two seasons of over 40+ ppg and even one of over 50 ppg? He had SIX 70+ point games, including one of 100? He had 32 60 point games? He had 118 50 point games? Or 271 40 point games?

I guess I better recheck the RECORD BOOK then. Last time I looked, I didn't read ANY of that.

[jlauber]

Right ... and that doesn't take into account age, correct?

The older you are the less legs you have, which affects jumpers.

The older you are the less you get to the basket, which can also affect FG %

You're logic is remedial.

Give it up already...your cliche excuses are tired and silly...

Shooting is muscle memory through repitition and mental preparation more then using the "strungth in your lugz"


Jordan who was 38 came back after resting his Body for 2 years much like he did in 1995....and he still was in great shape working out with Tim Grover since the mid 90's...



could he attack from anywhere??...of course not , but the 2000's MJ was very similar to the the late 90's version who used footwork and position to create his shot....

except Craig Ehlo and John Starks weren't guarding him....so he shot pretty bad...maybe the worst ever for a 20PPG SG:lol

[jlauber]

seriously jlauber, can you stop with your Wilt trolling?

Yes...it is trolling to bring up Wilt in a discussion of the most unstoppable scorer of all-time. I get it.

I'm talking...

40+ 50+ point games
200+ 40+ point games
7-8 scoring titles
9-10 60+ point games
Multiple 35+ PPG average seasons
