Which performance was worse Kobe game 7 2006 or Kawhi's game 7 2020?

[coastalmarker99]

Is it Kobe's infamous game 7 in which he understandably quit in the second half to prove a point to his front office and coach about how trash his supporting cast was.




Or is it Kawhi's legendary meltdown against Jokic in which he only scored 14 points on 22 shots and also blew a double-digit lead for the third time in a row.

[SouBeachTalents]

Kawhi's and it's not even close. That and Curry in 2016 are the two worst superstar Game 7's ever

Do you wish to prove more detail about your choice so our boy HBK_Kliq_2 can understand why you picked Kawhi over Kobe for the worst game 7 superstar meltdown of all time?

Kawhit because they were heavy favorites to come out of the west and they had a higher seed due to better record in the rs but they fukked up big time lmfao.

Also it's a mere coincidence that both la teams would have faced each other in the postseason had both of them avoided their rivals' comebacks in their respective series.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Probably Kawhi since the Clippers were heavily favored.

Bean scored 50 in G6 and his team still found a way to blow it.

Smush Parker...Luke Walton...Kwame Brown.... Yikes :lol

Only had about 6 games to prepare for playoffs. It was also in a prison bubble and not in normal NBA hoops, unprecedented circumstances that can't be compared to any other year. On top of that he had to play the goat euro players Luka\Jokic and not get any help from Paul George at 0.4 BPM

Kawhi's title runs are still superior over Wilts.

Kawhi in 2014 > Wilt in 1972
Kawhi in 2019 > Wilt in 1967

Anything Kawhi does at this point on in his career, he'll start running LAPS around Wilt's career.

Kawhi in the 4th quarter vs Denver:
31 Points
9/33 FG (27%)
-24 +/-

Is that the worst chokejob in NBA history?

He led all players in GmSc in the series on both teams, he had a 36 point game in elimination game. Sounds like a guy who isn't getting enough help. You know Paul George cheated on Doc's daughter right and they hate each other? It wasn't Kawhi's fault, it was George\Harrell\Lou\Doc fault.

Please one role player ring in 2014 is not better than Wilt's 1972 ring in which he carried West and locked down a prime Mvp Kareem on route to a 12 and 3 playoff record and finals Mvp.






And also Wilt in 1967 > Kawhi in 2019 as Kawhi's ring was a fluke that year which the 2020 playoffs helped prove once and for all.

Kobe should be criticized for blatantly giving up in the 2nd half, but let's be real, they were already down 15 to start the 2nd half despite Kobe scoring 23 in the 1st. He would've had to have dropped 50-60 points for the Lakers to have any realistic shot at winning that game, on the road, as a huge underdog.

Kawhi was on the title favorite and scored 14 fcking points on 6/22 shooting, scored 2 points the entire 2nd half, and arguably most stunning at all, didn't attempt a single FT the entire game. Speaking of Kobe, even when he was going through his 6/24 shitshow in Game 7, he at least remained aggressive, attacked the basket, and got to the FT line while pulling down 15 boards. Kawhi was just bricking up jumpshots the entire 2nd half while his team completely collapsed around him. Again imo only Curry's 2016 was as bad

Whats that have to do with game 7

He scored 37 through regulation, btw.

Still Kawhi tho

Curry was injured

What I meant was that Kobe could've played just as well in G7, and it wouldn't have mattered.

Like Soubeach mentioned, he scored 23 in the 1st half yet LA was still down by 15. Sure Kobe could have and SHOULD HAVE shot more. Doubt it would've made a difference though.

[Axe]

Curry was injured
And kyrie was too for 2015 finals

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Game 7 of the 1969 finals, the Lakers committed costly turnovers and lost the game 108–106. After the game, many wondered why Chamberlain sat out the final six minutes. Bill Russell didn't believe Chamberlain's injury was grave, and openly accused him of being a malingerer: "Any injury short of a broken leg or a broken back is not enough.

So lets get this straight, Kawhi is living in a prison bubble shithole hotel and he still stays in the game. Wilt can just go back to his mansion in Bel Air and he still sits outs the final 6 minutes like a *****? Also Jerry West had a 42 point triple double and his team lost by 2 points, Wilt staying in could of won them the game. While Paul George played no where near the level of Jerry West.

Sounds like 1969 finals game 7 from Wilt was the worst.

He stopped two different 3peats.

His 2015 and 2020 losses he has like a 8-9 BPM over his offensive co stars in Paul George\Tony Parker.

Wins 75% of his career games despite never playing with an alltime great top 30 player in prime.

I don't know what else you expect.

Wilt got outscored by Don Nelson in the 1969 finals hahahaha

Lol, Wilt had 18 points and 27 rebounds plus 10 blocked shots on 7 out of 8 shooting from the floor in 42 minutes that game.





Plus he seriously hurt his Achilles in the fourth quarter of that game which made him not able to train or play that offseason at all and yet he still wanted to come back into that game 7 despite the serious chances of him doing even more damage to his Achilles.











And funny enough he suffered a serious injury 6 months later after that game ended against the Suns which nearly ended his career.

So anyone including Russell accusing Wilt of faking his injury just so he could sit out and not cop the blame for the loss does not know what they are talking about.

The later the rounds, the better your team most likely was. So Durant's game 7 in WCF 2016 was way worse, Curry in 2016 finals was way worse.

Lebron also lost in 6 games to Dwight Howard which is worse then losing to Jokic in 7 games.

Also Kawhi was the only one that was playing in a prison bubble.

He could of gutted it out for a few minutes and would of won the championship, his team lost by 2 points. If his team got blown out, i can see him sitting out being ok. You can't sit out when your team lost by 2 points.
