5/7 doe

Not even playing when I say this. I've seen this type of thread atleast once a month since I've been on here.

I'm sure we all got it by now. Kobe has had some shitty shooting percentages in the NBA Finals, but that doesn't take away his 5 rings & 2 FMVPs. He's one of the best players to ever play the game and you can't deny that.

Role player numbers

[QUOTE=navy]5/7 doe[/QUOTE]

2/7 as best player doe.

very respectable numbers

You shaved a few percentage points off here and there. Same with points, rebounds and assist.


2002 was 27 points..

[QUOTE=TheMarkMadsen]You shaved a few percentage points off here and there. Same with points, rebounds and assist.

For instance, 2009 was 33 points & 43%

2002 was 27 points..[/QUOTE]

lmfao, and he completely left off rpg and apg in 2010

Kobe during his 3 straight Finals runs without Shaq put up 2nd 3-peat MJ Finals numbers :confusedshrug:

You could argue that Kobe's 2008 & 2010 Finals numbers are better than MJ's 96 & 98 Finals numbers, and his 09 Finals is pretty similar to MJ's 97 Finals.

Plus OP shaves off points and FG% like you said, and for the 2000 Finals, included the injury game, where he didn't even play 10 minutes?


And I don't get what OP is trying to say really, roll up the numbers against the WCF during the Finals runs with Shaq (Kobe played better in the 3 first series than Shaq in 2001, for example and had more winshares, same WS/48 despite shooting poor in the Finals).

You could make a solid case that Kobe was the Lakers best player in all four of those series wins, and in fact, was the best player on the floor in '01, '02, and '08.
