Kobe and LeBron - 40 point games

[aj1987]

LeBron had 0 40 point games in the '16 RS, but managed to score 40 twice in a row in the Finals. Elimination games.

Kobe has 12 40 point games in the '09 and '10 RS's, but managed to score 40 only once in the Finals. The only one in his career (7 seasons), BTW.

It's amazing how most casuals still think that Kobe was a better playoff performer than LeBron.

Interesting.

Against which teams did Kobe score 40 or more and what was their record?

[Mr Feeny]

Interesting. OP has demonstrated that some players raise their level when it counts and are able to score 40 points on the biggest stage. These players might as well coast during the regular season and do their thing in the finals.

Other players are only capable of putting up big numbers in the regular season against mediocre teams and tend to struggle in the big stage, scoring wise :rockon:

:applause:

Reminder:

LeBron has 5 finals 40 point games. Kobe has 1 in 20 years.
Lebron had more 40 point finals games in 3 days than Kobe had in 20 years.
Lebron has quite a few games of 41 points or higher in the finals. Kobe has 0.

Lebron has 17 playoff 40 point games. Kobe has 13 in twenty years.

Lebron is a 32 ppg elimination game player. Kobe is a 22 ppg 39% elimination game player.

Damn, I remember Kobe vs Lebron was once a debate. Now it looks like Lebron left him in the dust. Kobe has ZERO case over Lebron now. Bron has come a long way.

If Kobe isn't on LeBron's level then why do you insecure fools keep making daily multiple threads about him?

Just proves how much of a threat he is to your boy. He will forever haunt your fragile psyches.

The meltdown is real. I never said Kobe was outside the top 10. In fact, I was fighting off the LeBron stans, while claiming that Kobe is top 10 at worst.

Stop being insecure AF, whenever you see someone talk about LeBron/Kobe.

That being said, Kobe is ~4-5 spots below LeBron.
