How great is our GAWDbe? :bowdown:

[Trollsmasher]

Some of those records are simply unreachable:bowdown:

[Kblaze8855]

A lot of those are just made up. How the hell would they know how many buzzer beaters Jerry West, Sam Jones, Cousy, Hondo, Gervin, or Monroe missed?

And some that could be checked on I dont believe he holds. Rick barry took 40+ shots in I think 5 games of one finals and he had some 10-30 or so games too. If Kobe surpassed Rick Barrys missed shot total for 67 id be shocked. Off the top of my head Barry went like 15-45, 10-30, and 22 of 48 or 50 before he got hot at the end of the series. How could Kobe have missed more shots? Even in a 7 game series. Barry had nights missing more shots than Kobe took most of the time. Dude took 45-50 shots at least once a week. It didnt stop in the finals. He put up 40ppg but he probably averaged 38 shots and missed way more than half.

And if things like that are wrong it throws the whole list into question. Im all for well done hate if you are making sense. But a lot of these charts, lists, and so on only look reasonable to people who dont know enough to question it.

I should start producing these hater chart things. Mine wouldnt be 100% right either but it wouldnt be wrong enough to make me look like an idiot.

Shooting 6-24 in the biggest game of his career.

Losing a Finals series playing with 3 HOF teammates.

[CanYouDigIt]

How great is our gawd.

Yeah, what a shitty career. Only five titles as the first or second best player on the team every time. Dude sucks.

Try harder.

While true and 2nd best option Mo Williams

What does LeBron have anything to do with Kobes " greatness"

Nobody even mentioned him.How are you that obsessed with one player that you have to bring him up in every thread?

Being the best "individual" player ie being able to do the most difficult trick shots means nothing.

Kobes first titles were due mainly to SHAQ DOMINANCE and the second two titles were total team efforts by a very deep and effective team. Kobes binge shooting had way less to do with it than most idiotic simple minded fans can comprehend. Theyre too mesmerized by the idea of a hero scowling and "willing the team" and other contrived sports-fantasy nonsense.

On my phone but a quick check shows both Elvin Hayes and John Havlicek missed more regular season FGs and neither one of them ever took a 3 point shot

haha at bolded

[TheMarkMadsen]

Imagine if Kobe was any good.

5 titles, 2FMVPS,30,000 + career points, an 81 point game, record amount of ALL NBA TEAMS could have all been attainable

[okayabc123]

kids still thinking kobe was just a second fiddle to shaq in the first 3 runs is just STUPID. please go watch some WC playoff series especially WCF videos in the 3 champ runs... kobe was putting up ridiculous numbers, and contributed more than most of what any MVP could have done..

Pretty ironic considering the only people that think that are the Laker fans that started watching bball in 2008 when they got to the finals.

[Myth]

kobe has hit more gamewinners than MJ has missed

So, I've missed less game winners than Kobe has :confusedshrug:

I know that worst shooting performance for a finals MVP is bogus because they're not counting the 60's when the finals MVP wasn't handed out.

[TheMarkMadsen]

2002 finals: 27ppg 6rpg 5apg 2steals 1bpg on 52% FG, 55%3pt 81% FT


OP how many finals has Lebron shot 50% in?

[jzek]

5 titles, 2FMVPS

Serious question - Why does he have only 2 FMVPs out of 5 championships? Something's not adding up here... :confusedshrug:
