Kobe had some great stats in the finals during his prime

[Derivative]

Let's take time to admire some of Kobe's great statline in the finals during his prime:

2004 finals:
22.6 PPG, 38.1%FG, 17.4%3P, 22.6 shots per game (1.0 point per shot:bowdown: )
2.8 RPG:facepalm, 4.4 APG, 3.6 ToPG



While his good friend Shaq was averaging 26.6 PPG on 63.1%FG....

[STATUTORY]

the most important games of those championships runs were against western conference teams

GenerosityBe let shaq shine against those weak ass eastern squads

[SouBeachTalents]

I don't think this has ever been brought up on ISH, I always wondered how Kobe did against that great Detroit defense. I've also always wondered how LeBron played in the 2011 Finals, unfortunately that's another performance that just isn't ever talked about on this board

[theoneneo]

Lolz, don't compare a guards fg% to a centers u noob... before I start posting Lebron's finals stats and make u cry

Really? So why didn't he step it up when they lost to the Pistons?

1. not his prime 2. rape trial so he was below average all season not just the finals. end thread.

He sucked that year due to the rape trial. 2004 shouldn't even count.

[dubeta]

Kobe's 2004 was significantly worse than Brans 2011 but that never gets brought up

LeBron actually shot a respectable 48% during those finals

Heck LeBron's 2011 NBA 'choke' Finals is arguably better than 4 out of Kobe's 7 finals :applause:

If there's one thing I hate about the Kobe defenders it's the personal excuses.

Nothing from 96-99 counts because he wasn't in his prime. 00 Finals he was injured; 03, 04, 05 he was injured, and he had just raped someone. His finger was playing up in 2011 and he was tired. He was returning from an injury in 14.

04 counts as much as any other choke. He played like dogshit. He may well have thrown it to stop Shaq winning another Finals MVP.

Everyone is injured come Playoff time and he brought the rape thing on himself. He made a statement saying it wasn't consensual (iirc).

Injury excuses are lame. However, Kobe played poorly the entire 2004 season. He wasn't a great player in 2004. How could he choke if he wasn't that great to begin with in 2004?

[choppermagic]

Yup, so out of his 7 Finals, you chose the one where he had a really tough time against an incredible defensive team. Good thing he won 5 other Finals in his career. Not to mention his damage was done against the tough Western Conference playoff grind.

Is this part true? I may have to rethink how I feel about that situation if he spilled the Beans. (pun intended)

[riseagainst]

Do you know the worst part about his 38.1%? The refs bailed him out in EVERY single game; if it wasn't for that, his FG% would be between 26-31%. :facepalm

how would the refs bail someone out on FG%?

[Im Still Ballin]

Freethrows you mong.
