    Default Why Doesn't Kobe Have Any Signature Playoff Moments?

    Of all the top players in history, he has no signature playoff moments. No "flu game" or LeBron's game 5 against Detroit. Tim Duncan has game 6 of the 03 Finals. Dirk's game 1 against OKC in 2011. Wade has all of the 2006 Finals. Magic against Philly as a rookie. And his baby hook against the Celtics. Great player, but no signature playoff moments. I just keep think of Artest carrying the team in game 7. And Fisher hitting all the big shots in the 09 Finals.

    You mean like lebrons signature 2011 Finals or his game against the Celtics? or perhaps the Finals sweep?

    Alley to Shaq
    Buzzer beater against Suns
    Standing on table with championship hat and confetti all around

    First three to come to mind.

    I don't think anyone is going to be telling their kids about those. Nothing close to Reggie's 8 points in 8.9 seconds

    how about taking the 3-1 lead against the favored/higher ranked Suns in a thrilling buzzer beater?

    Game 1 vs Orlando also

    really many performances in the WCF.

    Definitely the shots to tie and win the game in OT against the Suns.

    The alley-oop to Shaq is what I think of.

    Im referring to playoffs moments that we link to the hall of famers. Like when you of Jordan, you probably think of the game 6 of the 98 Finals, The Shot, Flu game, etc. Kobe is a great, great player. But he doesn't have any of those legendary playoff moments.

    I'm more impressed by OP's signature "beating off into my friend's sister's underwear drawer" move.

    ummmm

    2000 vs suns - game winner vs suns

    2000 vs blazers - 15 point 4th quarter, leading scorer, biggest assist in laker history

    2000 vs indiana - game 4 injured ankle take over with shaq out, best performance by a 20-21 year old since magic johnsons rookie finals mvp with kareem out, go ahead winning shots, winning tip in

    2001 vs kings - the 48/16 game.

    2002 vs spurs - shaq calls him the best player, officially takes over the torch

    2004 vs pistons - the shot

    2006 vs suns - the dunk on nash ( probably the best dunk ever in the playoffs that ive ever witnessed )

    2006 vs suns - the game winner

    2009 vs suns - the streak ( best shooting performance ive ever seen in the playoffs. )

    2009 vs magic - the leaning reverse shot over dwight in the deciding game ( almost jordan like vs the lakers in 91 )



    these are fresh in my mind

    and he has many more big moments. but these are his most memorable

    Some of Kobe best series have been WCFs IMO. His last 3 WCF series have been spectacular with the Suns in 2010 being the best
