He's played in hundreds of 4th quarters and you found 4 that he's been bad in? Interesting, I always felt he dominated the Spurs in the 4th quarters

None of those series were in the WCF. Are you just clueless about EVERYTHING basketball related, or only when it comes to Kobe?

He thought Kobe was drafted by the Lakers:roll:

No shit

but every WC series that Kobe played in "WAS THE REAL, FINALS!!!" due to playing like shit against the East ..... in the real Finals.

[Hey Yo]

Who did LA tell Charlotte to draft so the trade could go down??

Yikes

Lmao.

[Xiengqichess]

Where was the stats against Sun, Spurs or Nuggets in those serries the Laker won?

[Hey Yo]

Why were Duncan and the Spurs so bad against Shaq?
Fixed that for ya.

Spurs only played (and lost) 1 playoff series to LA when Kobe was the franchise player.

And you ask if I'm clueless.... :oldlol:

[LAmbruh]

Koooooooooooooooo-BRICK! :banana:

[kennethgriffen]

you could do this with practically anyone.


a few random bad 4th quarters spread out over a decade with most of them coming in games early in the series? lol


Lespn at it again

[Gus Hemmingway]

Kobe was always trash in the 4th



props for pic OP, saved :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

jeezuz, they're doing my work now :oldlol:


Kobe was absolutely horrific in playoff 4th quarters, I recently posted the numbers.


Can you believe some supporters of his defend them?


I have never seen worse 4th quarter play than whatever the fck he was doing against OKC in 2012

[ArbitraryWater]

This man went 1-10 against the Suns while it was a 1 possession game to start the series....


:facepalm

[Keno]

all stats, advanced stats, facts, context and eye-test go against Kobe. the only thing he has going for him are false opinions that contradict reality.

It's so funny seeing Duncan stans trashing Kobe :roll:

[Smoke117]

An over reliance on hero ball. You could make a video of the worst shots in NBA history and just use Kobe Bryant.

Four bad 4th quarters in like 200 Playoff games? that's all you got?

Give me one all-time great who hasn't had at least a handful of bad 4th quarters.

Kobe fathered this generation of chucking 3s. You see kids taking bad threes all over the place and it's considered a good shot by analytics, so you can't say that a contested or a deep 3 is a bad shot.

Kobe has fostered a generation of low BBIQ casuals who think playing the way he did is actually good basketball ie this chap here.

Yeah killing your fg% efficiency numbers :lol

I'd be hating on Kobe too if he eliminated my team 4 out of 5 times in the span of 8 years :(

Spurs fans missed out on so many titles because of the Black Mamba. Spurs likely win it all in 2001 & 2002.

Nah, they ain't beating the Kings in '02

[Manny98]

But i thought Kobe was clutch :(

Your obsession with Bran is your obsession. If you aren't able to chime in without bringing him up then don't even bother.
Scared to answer? Because last I checked, 5-2 is pretty damn good. So what exactly is

Yup, I'm terrified. That's it exactly. Are you 12 years old?
If going 5-2 is not good basketball, what is?

[Bosnian Sajo]

The fact that you posted this as "evidence" to Kobe struggling in the 4th is absolutely laughable.


You literally hand picked 4 games, from 2003-2012, in which Kobe played subpar in the 4th quarter in the playoffs. During this time period, Kobe played 135 playoff games....so what are the stats in the other 131 4th quarters?


Lebron fans are idiots, dude :oldlol:

And this is all from just ONE PLAYOFF SERIES, in the same year...in the NBA FINALS FFS!!!....How do Lebron fans have the balls to speak up? Bruh, they picked 4 games....one in 2003, one in 2007, one in 2010, and finally one in 2012 :roll:

You can't make this up.

[Hey Yo]

Scared to answer? Because last I checked, 5-2 is pretty damn good. So what exactly is “good basketball”? 3-6? Thats your goat right?
Only 1st option / franchise player rings count.

Kobe's 2-1 in the Finals.

Why do those 2 show different stats for the 4th quarter in game 1??

The 2nd pic shows LeBron scored a total of 30pts in game 1. That didn't happen


facts pics are fake.

'01 playoffs:
Kobe 4th quarter - 8.0 ppg on 49%
Shaq 4th quarter - 6.3 ppg on 54%

'02 playoffs:
Kobe 4th quarter - 8.1 ppg on 49%

So which series is the one above??

Looks to me like he avg. about the same points in the 4th than he did in 1st, 2nd or 3rd quarter of that game.

LOL @ pic backfire.
