He did this all at the age of 30.

Melo is turning 30 in the playoffs too. He's about to breakout big like this too, you can count on that.

[Jacks3]

9% turnover rate. That's amazing.

And look at his 2009 WCF: 34 PPG/6 RPG/6 APG/2 SPG/59% TS

Most important point in this thread. :roll:

[Jacks3]

What's scary is that his 2008 and 2010 runs might be even better.

:eek:

[MastaKilla]

Criminally underrated run

[fpliii]

Jazz - 10th
Rockets - 4th
Nuggets - 8th
Magic - 1st

Going through four top 10 defenses en route to a title is pretty impressive.

[Lakers2877]

Bynums 7ppg and 5rpg carried kobe during that playoff run

now dats hilarious:roll:

[Lakers2877]

Kobe was the 3rd player in nba finals history to avg over 30ppg and 7apg in a finals series. Jerry West and Jordan are the other two

Carried!

[Lakers2877]

now dats hilarious:roll:
Lol how many times have these bozos said that?

[LongLiveTheKing]

Imagine if Yao hadn't gotten injured. :eek:
Wonder if the Rockets would've won.

Don't want to be a hater, but didn't he shoot 43% in the Finals?

[Fresh Kid]

sounds like a hater to me.

[b1imtf]

sounds like a hater to me.
Wtf? Because I'm correcting someone? The run was incredible, fake ******

[Deuce Bigalow]

And look at his 2009 WCF: 34 PPG/6 RPG/6 APG/2 SPG/59% TS

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Actually it was 63% TS.

34 PPG/7 RPG/8 APG/1 SPG/1 BPG/64% TS in the WCF a year later

[LongLiveTheKing]

Kobe stans making up stats like always. :oldlol:

[Magic 32]

43% is a 3% slip from his average.

I have seen worse.......much much much worse. :rolleyes:

[Magic 32]

Anyway, 08 was a much better run IMO.

Too bad he ran out of steam in game 4, 5 and 6 of the finals.

For 17 straight games, he was pretty much MJ 96-98 reincarnated.

I wasn't hating man, I've said that the run was amazing

That 2010 WCF might be the best shooting series EVER. It was ridiculous.

[Jacks3]

The most impressive thing about his 09 run is that he did it on a that truly dominant team.

They had a 11.07 SRS in the playoffs that year. One of the highest marks in history and their point differential was the 7th highest in ever!

:bowdown:

[9erempiree]

That was an all time great run.

[cos88]

this is all kobe fan have right now. MEMORIES

their franchise will not win another ship anytime soon thanks to kobe's contract.

instead of a little pay cut for two max players you only got 1 and future 1st round exists.


enjoy kevin love ****ers :roll: :roll: :roll:

[branslowski]

Bynums 7ppg and 5rpg carried kobe during that playoff run

Wait, they told me HOF stacked Odoms 12ppg carried Kobe during that run? Member? And how Bosh avging 15ppg during Heats playoff run was trash? Wait...wat?:coleman:

[Replay32]

Great Run. This is when I put him in the top 10 and considered him to be the 2nd best SG of all time after his 2009 run.

[KOBE143]

One of the best all time.. :bowdown:

[BlackVVaves]

Great run. 2008-2010's versions of Kobe were sensational. He really raised the level of his play in terms of matching his individual talent with his willingness to be more of a facilitator. Props.
