Was Kobe's 15 rebounds in Game 7 the greatest rebounding performance of alltime?

[Deuce Bigalow]

All things considered - Kobe is a guard, under the pressure of a game 7 in the NBA Finals, nothing is going well for him and he still finds a way to be clutch :bowdown: Mama, there goes that man. Greatest rebounding performance ever?

To be fair, when one player barfs up 18 (edit for Deuce) bricks on his own, there are many boards to be had, especially with Perkins out.

Only Kobe stans think that was an accomplishment. The truth is your boy choked under pressure and was bailed out by the refs (20 fourth quarter free throws) , Ron Artest and Pau Gasol.

But keep talking about them Wilt like rebounds. :oldlol:

Come on, Duece, you can do better than this.

Duncan goes 10-27 in game 7 of '05, and you like to point us how much he got carried, even when Larry Brown, Popovich and Ben Wallace said Tim won the Spurs the game.

Kobe goes 6-24 in his game 7, and you use a Metta World Peace tweet to show how important he was.

[red1]

quite simply the answer is no

[red1]

aint nothing impressive about shooting 25% in a game 7. chucking and raping aint impressive either

Was Kobe's 15 rebounds in Game 7 the greatest rebounding performance of alltime?

Yes, and Wilt's Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals was the greatest FT shooting performance of all time:

I was ashamed for Kobe seeing him get finals mvp over Pau after that shocking performance. Nearly shoot your team out of the game and series: finals mvp!

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Didn't he steal like around 8 of those rebounds from Gasol?

[All Net]

For a guard it was amazing. He made up for a nightmare shooting performance

[f0und]

in that same game, gasol had 18 rebounds, including 9 offensive rebounds. many of them leading to crucial late game 2nd chance points.

[ArbitraryWater]

Kobe's weak side rebounds, how could one forget... Durant reminds me a lot of him in that department.

Yeah him and Ron were huge... Never forget that three.

No one bats an eye in games where LeBron grabs 15 or more rebounds. Even if he's guarding the other team's point guard and putting up 10 assists too. It's just expected. Then haters look and see if he scored less than 25 points, and if so they just say he was carried and was a passive beta. Kobe sucked in that game 7, stop trying to sugar coat it or revise history. It is what it is.

[ZaaaaaH]

Not upset at all.

Led the game in FGA. Not impressed with 6-24 shooting. Sorry.

Kobe had 1 made field goal in the fourth quarter.Not hard to lead in scoring when your being bailed out :oldlol:

15 lucky bounces.

Next.

This is NBA, you don't get too many "lucky" bounces.

Also understanding where the ball hits the rim and determining which way it goes is also a skill for any basketball player.

just to put it out there, when Lebron grabbed 15 rebound, he also scored 45 points with mad dominance while Kobe choked and shot 6/24:oldlol:

LoL sad that Kobe fanboys only have this to cling to. Yeah it was the best ever. LOL bwahahahahah

[Hey Yo]

Kobe (23) and in the 4th (10). 15 rebounds from a guard..Next.
1-3 from the field. 8 for 9 from the line, with a turnover.

What people like to ignore besides his 15 rebounds as a guard in Game 7 is that Kobe also limited Rondo big time that series. Everyone was proclaiming him the best PG in the game before that series. Other than one game, he never went off. The one game he did, Kobe was in foul trouble.


Kobe disrupted the most important player on the other team (Rondo). Rondo is the engine that made the Celtics run. Kobe turned him into the Little Engine that Couldn't.

The bottom line is that nobody shot well from the field for their positions. Regardless his overall stats are by far the best. I don't think most people realize how tough it is for a guard to get 15 boards.

Haters also forgot Kobe's brilliance through 6 games--30/6/5/2/56% TS.

Not to mention how clutch he was in that Game 7 in the 4th quarter: 10 pts/61% TS/4 Reb/2 Ast. Had a hand in nearly every single point by the Lakers in the last 7-8 minutes.

Kobe through 6 games: 30/6/5/2/56% TS
Kobe in Game 7: Best player
Kobe for entire series: 29/8/4/2/1/53%/26+ PER

Kobe biggest choker in NBA history confirmed? its tough to decide between him and Wilt.

But no one can deny Kobe only really deserves 1 FMVP which pushes him into Top 15-20 all time in reality, 1 championship as the best player

Not sheriff cereal Kobe is one of the clutchest to ever play the game and 2009-2010 were his teams, to even question that is going full potato.

If 15 rebounds is the sign of being clutch, then why did he shoot 6-24. That is just horrible. If he was in the zone of a clutch player then the main thing it would improve is your offense. When you're in panic, nervous mode, you will run around more and get more rebounds. When you're in panic, nervous mode you have a higher chance of shooting something like 6-24. His most memorable playoff moment.
