Does Kobe have the lowest FG% in finals ever for a star player??

[Owl]

we also has to remember, it was Shaq hogging the defensive assignments of sixers, nets, pacers in NBA finals. They triple team Shaq & literally left kobe standing to take the jumpshots.

still Kobe sucked. Its the MJ wannabe complex kobe has that destroyed his FG%. On the bright side, he did shoot 51.4% eventually which should've been much higher having Shaq on your side.

As the MJ comparison has come in

MJs numbers are

FGs 438 of 911 for 48.079034 fg%
42 3s made
FTs 245 of 315 for .777777778
TS% .554020579

Who was the 2nd best team in 2001?

shouldn't kobe be able to shoot higher FG% against worse teams in the finals?

[Odinn]

.412 fg (333/808)
.848 ft (223/263)
.314 3pt (48/153)
.442 efg
.507 ts

As for efficiency, 2002 Finals was the only one Kobe was great.
.514 fg - .545 3pt - .806 ft - .557 efg - .623 ts

If we exclude 2002 Finals;
.408 fg (297/728)
.855 ft (194/227)
.296 3pt (42/142)
.437 efg
.501 ts

are you sure your math is right, should be around 58%

MJ was hogging defensive assigments of opposition in Finals just like Shaq.

That 48%FG for Finals is GOAT for a 6'6" perimeter player drawing triple teams every FGA in the FINALS.

They literally played Pippen 1-on-1 all 6 NBA Finals.

can you calculate for MJ's 6 finals, and separately for the 1st 3peat and 2nd 3 peat

[Owl]

Calculate it for yourself but I used the same excel formula as for Kobe. What do you think is wrong?
Anyways it's total finals points/(2x(fga+(.44xfta)))

fga is total finals field goal attempts
FTA is total finals free throw attempts

[Odinn]

are you sure your math is right, should be around 58%

1176 points - 911 fga - 320 fta

1176 / ( 2 * ( 911 + ( 320 * 0.44 ) ) ) = .5590416428978893

I'll let Odinn field that as you asked him but the first three series will be more impressive as he has significantly higher fg%. Later series MJ got to the line more but not enough to offset the (relative) fall in fg%.

[Odinn]

1st threepeat;
617 points - 466 fga - 128 fta
617 / ( 2 * ( 466 + ( 128 * 0.44 ) ) ) = .5906340940419666

2nd threepeat;
559 points - 445 fga - 192 fta
559 / ( 2 * ( 445 + ( 192 * 0.44 ) ) ) = .5278764070408703

dang MJ in his prime was godlike

possibly top 5 most bullshit post i've ever seen on ish

I do not like that guy but he has a point about that. Shaq was one of the most doubled player in the history if not the most. It was a lot easier to get wide open if you had Shaq by your side.

Jordan in '93 ECF vs NY Knicks: 40.0 FG%

http://www.basketball-reference.com/..._1993_ECF.html

NY had a defensive rating below 100, like the teams Kobe faced in the Finals

[swi7ch]

Kobe has also NEVER gone past the 1st round w/o Shaq or Pau. He failed 2x and missed the playoffs 1x.
