Man it seems like forever since I saw this game, but there are so many stupid shots he just jacks up. Popovich was probably cringing so hard at this game when he saw it

That is the first thing i thought as well. He wouldn't talk to kobe for days if he was coaching him even though lakers won.

What do you think Popovich was doing when LeBron shat the bed in 2011?

lol who knows? Maybe he was jumping up and down with joy.

I still wonder what KG was doing when Allen made the shot in 2013 :lol

Given by what we know of him, he was probably making everyone on the spurs train even harder because of that 1st round loss.
He was probably happy that Carlisle was winning as they are friends.

Myth: Kobe is clutch.

Fact: Kobe can miss 78 game winning shots in row, if he makes the 79th his stans reaction would be, "OMG, OMG, the clutches NBA player of all time."

Good. The ends justifies the means:applause: :applause:

Kobe's style of play led to 5 of 7 possible rings.
Lebron's style led to 2 of 5 possible rings.

Boiled down.

Play-style that leads to 5/7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Play style that leads to 2/5.

Man, I do miss perimeter players who actually tried to get buckets when they're in the paint instead of just fishing for fouls.

Lebron, Westbrook, curry. These are just the stars. There are many non-stars who drive hard to the basket.

Kobe got carried by his teammates. If it weren't for Pau Gasol and World Peace hitting that big three, Kobe would be 4 of 7 in the finals

Myth: The word clutch has a statistical definition
Fact: "Mr. Clutch" was 1-8 in the Finals.

If you want to go that route, anyone who cared enough about the subject would bury you with Ray Allen's three, bringing Lebron to 1/5. World Peace=Ray Allen. But I don't care enough, so I wont.

You can be talking about MWP game 7 too if you want, doesn't matter to me. I was talking about the tip in off Kobes airball. End result is the same, both Kobe and Lebron got their asses saved.

and most are with plenty of time left.

But that's Kobe in a nutshell, which is why so many of us claim he's a low IQ player.
