Was Kyrie's 2016 finals better than...

[Mr Feeny]

Any finals Kobe has ever played? :lebronamazed:

What do you guys think?

Keep proving my point for me, you insecure b*tch.

Kobe has mindraped you 4 life. You will NEVER be able to enjoy basketball again like a normal fan. It'll always be about him to you.

Update :

Kyrie in 2016: 27 ppg on 47%fg and only 22 fga/g

Kobe in 200: 32 ppg on 43%fg on more shots a game

:eek:

It seems to be that pre-peak Kyrie already had a better finals than any version of Kobe!

[SamuraiSWISH]

Kobe shouldered a larger burden for his team on both sides of the ball. And was more focused on by the opposing defenses. At least from 2008 - 2010. To be truly honest and fair.

If I were to rank it in with Mamba's Finals performances

1) 2009 Kobe
2) 2002 Kobe / Kyrie's 2016
3) 2010 Kobe
4) 2001 Kobe
5) 2008 Kobe
6) 2004 Kobe
7) 2000 Kobe

Based on his game 1 performance in 2015 he could've owned the 3rd spot as well on this list if it wasn't for injury.

Goes to show you how great Kyrie was and how underwhelming Kobe has been as a Finals performer. 2009 is his only great one and 2002 was good but went against atrocious competition.

[ArbitraryWater]

No doubt, in perhaps Kobe's best series, he was absolute shit after game 1.

Holy shit you're right! :biggums:
Just another player who will eventually push Kobe further and further away from that 12 spot he currently occupies. Durant, Curry, and Kawhi are already locks to surpass baldbe. Two more similar Finals performances from Kyrie and he too will surpass him. In 6 years Kobe stans will be fighting tooth and nail to convince the world that their idol belongs in the top 20 :oldlol:

That isn't true either. Were you even watching NBA ball in 2009? Doesn't seem it based off your knowledge. Bryant was good the whole series. Amazing in game 1. And great in the close out game in Orlando.

One thing is for sure...

Your boy Chokurry just put up the most inept Finals by a reigning MVP in NBA history.

And he didn't COME CLOSE to beating ANY of Kobe's best Finals marks...like PPG, or HIGH game, or TS%.

Clearly The Fragile One has no business being mentioned in the same breath as Kobe.

Hell, Glass was nowhere near as good as Kyrie for cryingoutloud...and in fact, Kyrie made him his bitch in the Finals.

Who cares?

Lebron is better than all of them! :applause:

It surely was better than the 2011 Finals :oldlol:

Don't forget the .356 FG% sweeping loss '07 Finals, as well.

Who cares. Lethick is top 3 all time. That's all that matters :banana:

Meanwhile your idol is 12th and your other 18 ppg finals scoring idol sits below lebron on the all time list! :lebronamazed:

Not only did Kyrie play against a weak ass shit finals team in an all time weak era but look at who he had to score against :lol

****ing Draymond Green guarding the paint :lol

Look at the beasts Kobe has had to go up against in a strong era. You cant compare numbers

You're right. Comparing 43% shooting with 47% shooting is silly!:applause:

Kobe's 2002 finals are underrated. 27/6/5/2/1 on 51/55/81. When factoring in defense, I might even rank it above 2009. I know Shaq was the main focus of the defense, but Kobe's efficiency in the finals went up compared to the regular season, whereas in 2009 it went down.

Kobe 2002
Kobe 2009
Irving 2016

Kobe and Cuckry are the typical mentally fragile chuckers who shrink on the big stage. You can just see it. They huff and puff when beating up on inferior opponents but when it gets to the Finals they perform well under their expectations.

LOL Kobe may be a subpar finals performer (in comparison to his normal level of production) but he is far from mentally weak. He's too confident if anything.

Regularly under perform on the biggest stage = mentally weak.

Just because he takes a lot of shot doesn't mean he's not. Pressure and the stage got to him and affected his game and psyche in a negative way, that is mentally weak.

[ClipperRevival]

Kobe was absolutely masterful in the 2008-09 playoffs. You have to clearly differentiate between being "the man" and being 2nd fiddle. Irving had a GOAT level finals as 2nd fiddle but doing it as "the man" is harder and carries more weight because the opposition focuses on stopping you first.

Thanks for the complement to Lebron. He is truly top 3 ever.

This is clearly pushing it... "absolutely masterful" ? Really?

[Mr Feeny]

43% against the same team that Lebron had just averaged 39 ppg, 8.5 apg and 8.5 rpg is masterful for Kobe's standards:applause:
