Is this one of Kobe's most underrated performances?

[KDthunderup]

Vs the Rockets, December, 2000.

Scored 45 points on 20-26 shooting whilst scoring just over half of his team's points in a 99-95 win.

Why does a Thunder fan care about Kobe when he has a superior player in Durant?

[Bandito]

[STATUTORY]

frobe did that in the most offensively depressed era in NBA history?!

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Not a Kobe guy, but '01 "FroBe" would wreak havoc today. Dude is shooting over double teams and spinning on triple teams w/ defenders handchecking ... :lol

[gyu]

Just over half of his team's points? Do you even math bruh?

[Natureland]

Impressive performance. Also, didn't this game piss Shaq off? :lol

I was a big Lakers (and Clippers) fan around this time (hopped off that wagon in 2004) ... iirc, this was the Kobe "turn my game UP" period. You could see Shaq starting to seethe after each shot. :oldlol: There's a game I think w/ Hearn and Stu where they wouldn't discuss the two's beef, but you could tell even the camera guys knew somethin was up by all the closeups they did on Shaq and PJax.

There is nothing about Kobe's entire career that is underrated.

they might have been beefing but I don't think Shaq was mad at Kobe scoring. I think their beef came from a fundamental difference in ideas of how to play ball.

Looks to me like Shaq set Kobe up a few times, even broke plays. It's not like he was trying to keep him from scoring.

Besides everyone knows Shaq only does the bunny-hop-after-made-baskets when he's excited. lol
