Memories of the greatest clutch rebounding performance ever by a shooting guard

[Nick Young]

Kobe Mamba Gawd Bean Bryant's 15 boards in the game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals was nothing short off spectacular. I have never seen a better clutch rebounding performance by a shooting guard in my life time and I don't think anyone else has either. It is even more incredible thate Kobe was on the floor with Gasol, Bynum and Odom and still outrebounded them all:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Hopefully da gawd will look to keep his elite rebounding presence into the 2011/2012 season.

[Meticode]

Well duh he got 15 boards, he only shot 6-24 from the field, 0-6 from the three. He had to go get dem clankers off the rim.

[M.Bustly15A5RU8]

how many of those were easy D rebounds to pad his stats

:confusedshrug:

anyone w/o purple&gold glasses knows he played like garbage

[AI3Anthony]

"clutch" rebound performances? lolz

[christian1923]

"clutch" rebound performances? lolz

Even though he wasnt shooting well he still found a way to help he team win the game! thats what great players do :applause:

Damn, they won he freakin' Finals that year. Isn't that enough? You have to post a thread about him getting 15 rebounds in the last game? Seriously!? OMG I KILL MYSELF! :cry:

[pauk]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[M.Bustly15A5RU8]

someone make an analysis

I bet almost all of the rebounds he collected were empty stats rebounds that were easy to get

does it not feel weird to be so obsessed with another man? i mean you spend so much time talking/posting about him, and he doesnt even know you exist.

edit: also, glen davis rebounded the ball better than kobe that game.

also, mike miller in game 3 of the finals this year rebounded the ball at a better rate than kobe that game. props to mike miller's clutch rebounding :bowdown:

it's funny how Kobe's big man partners anchor the defense and rebound and fanboys say it doesn't mean much and Kobe's scoring >>> but when Kobe plays like garbage his rebounds make up for his horrible offense and he "willed" his team to win...although Pau Gasol stepped up more than he did

[AlphaWolf24]

yeah...what a crazy game......Kobe was hustling and diving for every ball... but couldn't find his shot on the offensive side...



but like always he came through in crunchtime and made huge baskets down the stretch.....and led the Lakers to a Title.....once again.

Garbage in the Finals? Not really. He found other ways to help team win like Jordan did in the '96 Finals when he didn't have a good scoring night. He did it with his rebounds and defense.

6-16 is light years better then 6-24 and it was Gasol's 0ffensive rebounding and Clutch play in the Final 3 minutes that allowed LA to win the game.

[32Dayz]

What does that have to do with the Final 3 minutes where Kobe got to the line once on a Gasol assist and did nothing else.

Kobe had a decent 4th Quarter but Gasol was the one who stepped up the Final 3 minutes and saved the Lakers from defeat.

I dont call passing the ball to Artest who was right beside him and covered by his man an "Assist" and im pretty sure that was before the 3 minute mark.

Stupid Homers, altering reality to feed their Kobe fetish.

Gasol had the better fourth Quarter by far.
Gasol scored 5 points in the final 3 minutes and 9 points in the quarter.

15 Rebounds With Kendrick Perkins Out For Game 7.....woooppp Deeee Doooo!!!
Prime Kendrick Perkins with the Celtics-6 rebounds per game. Big f*cking deal that Kendrick Scrubkins wasn't there.

He is basically Eric Dampier 2.0. Big f*Cking deal that he wasn't there, it was actually better for the team because it meant Rasheed got more minutes and Sheed even as a grandpa was a much better man defender and also provided some great high percentage offense that game.

[AlphaWolf24]

exactly....Kobe's work ethic and hustle inspire his teammates to play at much higher level when it counts....

he wills his team to championships.....something that just can't be measured with advanced math.

[Fatal9]

I remember that game like it was yesterday.

KG would be hanging on his one leg, Pierce would be hanging on the other just so they could contain him off the boards. But yet, Kobe would rise triumphantly each time. Skying for rebounds one after the other, while the Celtics looked at themselves with confused faces wondering how a shooting guard could all of a sudden begin rebounding with the force of Bill Russell and Moses Malone combined.

One of the greatest and most inspiring performances I've been blessed to witness :bowdown:

Kobe dominated rebounding champion KG who has a 6 inch height advantage simply due to his amazing effort, will, and determination, oh yeah did I mention Kobe did this with an injured knee and two fingers on his hand with damaged ligaments?

If Kobe wanted to he could probably average 10 boards a game EASY.

In the finals when he saw Gasol wasn't getting it done on the glass though he was just like "**** this shit" and released the pure mamba from it's cage, looking like a more highly skilled Dennis Rodman

We are talking specifically about rebounding here. It would have been more impressive for Magic to get 15 rebounds as point guard with Kareem on the floor than 15 as the center without him. A center getting 15 rebounds barely rates as a dominating rebounding performance.

[Nash-tastic]

Kobe did what was needed to win. Both Gasol and Artest had a better game 7 than Kobe but Kobe was obviously the Finals MVP. He ain't the MVP for Game 7 but definitely the Finals MVP that year.

Not to mention Kobe achieved his 15 boards while Rajon "best rebounding guard in the NBA" Rondo was on the floor as well, proving who the real best rebounding guard in the NBA is. The more you think about it, the more amazing Kobe's historic rebounding night is.

how the hell is getting 15 rebounds as a guard more impressive then getting 15 rebounds as a guard playing center... magic was going against freakin 7 footers and he was still getting boards over them... you wanna applaud kobe for probably getting more then half his rebounds handed to him?!?!?! lmao you guys are too funny

Because Magic would have to compete with Kareem as well for those rebounds and wouldn't be expected to play in the post where most rebounds are rebounded.

:facepalm

This is common sense.

We are talking about one game here. We are not combining multiple games. We already covered why Kobe's game best Game 6 in detail, but Kobe's game tops Game 5 due to his 15 rebounds being achieved in a more slowly paced game (211 total points vs 162) and with more on the line (Game 5 vs Game 7),

It is even more incredible thate Kobe was on the floor with Gasol, Bynum and Odom and still outrebounded them all:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Hopefully da gawd will look to keep his elite rebounding presence into the 2011/2012 season.

Pau got 18 rebounds in that game. Impressive rebounding by Kobe, but overall the game was a brickfest. Celtics shot 41%, the Lakers shot 33%.

It wasn't that the offenses were shooting poorly, it was that the defenses were smothering the shooters, especially in the 4th quarter.

21 year old Kobe 2001 WCF skying for rebounds between David Robinson (The Admiral) and Tim Duncan

unbelievable rebounding performance on clutch time ...

Just when you think Kobe can't get any more overrated...now he's the best rebounding guard eh? I suppose he's a better defender than pippen and a better shooter than ray Allen, eh?:roll:

You're right. He's also a better rebounder than Wilt Chamberlain, a better passer than Magic Johnson, a better scorer than Michael Jordan, and a better defender than Bill Russell.:facepalm

81 points. Longest string of 40 point games. 60 point streaks.

The numbers don't lie, bolded is true.

[Yao Ming's Foot]

Because "clutch" is a cumulative term not the result of one great series.

Magic=6'9". Kobe=6'6". That's 3 inches, Einstein. :facepalm

Jordan career RPG: 6.2
Kobe: 5.2
Jordan Career Rebound percentage: 9.4
Kobe: 8.2

MJ played 15 seasons. Kobe is going into his 16th and already has played more games than MJ. HOw stupid are you?
:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Duncan21formvp]

Magic and Jordan the only ones ahead of him, but Kobe is 5 inches shorter than Magic and a better clutch rebounder plus Magic is really a point forward not a guard and MJ played many more seasons than Kobe PLUS Kobe should surpass him this season anyways
MJ played 13 full seasons including the Wizards and 2 seasons where he played 18 games and 17 games to make 15 seasons total. He played in 1072 games. Kobe has already played 15 seasons and this year is year 16 and he has already played in 1103 games.

[bwink23]

We are talking specifically about rebounding here. It would have been more impressive for Magic to get 15 rebounds as point guard with Kareem on the floor than 15 as the center without him. A center getting 15 rebounds barely rates as a dominating rebounding performance.


So you agree Michael Jordan's 69-point, 18 rebound game is greater than Kobe's 81 point, 6 rebound game?? Not to mention Jordan had 6 assists to Kobe's 2?? By your logic the 18 rebounds counts for major brownie points dude...


Or is that the case for Kobe exclusively???

[bwink23]

Because Magic would have to compete with Kareem as well for those rebounds and wouldn't be expected to play in the post where most rebounds are rebounded.

:facepalm

This is common sense.



And Kobe didn't have to compete with Kendrick Perkins not on the floor....who had games of 6,11,7, and 7 rebounds per game.....FUNNY how that slips your mind. For sure Kobe wouldn't get that many with Perkins on the floor, PERIOD.

I don't think that there is any question that Jordan's rebounding was better in his game. I would imagine neither of those specific games rate as the clutchest regular season rebounding performance from a guard of all time however.

Kareem averaged only 10RPG in Magics Rook Season and a significantly lower TRB% then Perkins did in 2010.

Why is that relevant? We are talking about individual games in the Finals and comparing raw rebounding stats. By rebounding % Kobe's game crushes Magic's and it makes the entire debate moot.

Thinking he was Clutcher then Gasol in the 4th is just as stupid as thinking he had a good or decent game.

Gasol's scoring, defense and rebounding single handedly won the game for LA in the Final 3 Minutes and he scored 9 points in the 4th.

ahh right because getting rebounds in the post against 7 footers just comes naturally when you play center.... so if i put nate robinson as center and he grabbed say 10 boards it would be "expected" because he was playing center so it was "natural"

your a moron i cant take you seriously... theres no denying that magic playing center in game 6 of the nba finals as a rookie and getting 15 boards as a guard playing center is more impressive then kobes which he got during a brickfest

Nate Robinson is 5 foot 9"
Magic Johnson is 6 foot 9"

Magic was only two inches shorter than the 76ers "bigmen".

If you tell Nate Robinson to play as the starting center against a couple of 5 foot 11" towers and the rest of his team is made up of 5 foot 6" guys I would expect him to get 10 rebounds easily
