2000 Finals is Kobe stans worst nightmare

[StrongLurk]

They try to include it in the "5 rangz" chant, but it's super embarrassing. Kobe was basically a slightly worse version of prime Pippen in 2000, while Shaq ended up HARD carrying Kobe in the finals. Even if the Kobe stans want to claim "he was injured", then that just means Shaq's carry job is even more impressive. Kobe still shot 25 shots per game in games 4-6 on 35/28 splits .

Kobe was injured but still clutch in that series.

Kobe was injured but still clutch in that series.

If he was injured why did he take 25 shots a game? lmao

Show your playmaking skills Kobe!

[Full Court]

He still did far better than Lebron did in 2011.

He still did far better than Lebron did in 2011.

The funny thing is he didn't, 2011 Lebron was slightly better. 2011 Lebron was also slighly better than 2004 Kobe in the finals.

Either way, the 2000 finals is embarrassing for Kobe stans because they force themselves to "defend" Kobe's terrible play because they want to act like that 2000 ring is meaningful

Just imagine Lebron or MJ trying to count a ring playing as bad as Kobe did. Shit is embarrassing.

Kobe did miss time, but that doesn't help your argument.

Kobe still shot chucked like a maniac games 4-6. Kobe wasn't good in game 1 nor was he good in the 8 minutes he played in game 2. Ironically the ONLY truly elite game Kobe had in the 2000 finals was game 4, after his "injury".

Shaq legit won game 2 alone which is insane.

If you want to hate on Kobe you need to find a different point of attack, if you try to go worst series route you will get raised 2011 and blown the f.uck out every time.

Lebron in the 2011 finals was better than Kobe in the 2000 finals. That's what makes 2000 so embarrassing for Kobe. His teammate (peak Shaq) was literally so good/off the charts in the 2000 finals that he still won with Kobe stinking up the joint. Lebron and MJ would never win a finals like that .

2011 Lebron: 17.8/7.2/6.8, 54.1 TS%, 1.5 BPM, 13.7 gamescore.

2000 Kobe: 15.6/4.6/4.2, 41.1 TS%, -.8 BPM, 9.7 gamescore.

Lebron was better in every category.

I'm not even sure how it's possible to shoot this bad jesus

[Tavr]

This only makes sense if one ignored proper context.

Given their roles and expectations, LeBron had a worse series and choke. Kobe was a second option and playing with an injury to boot. I also mentioned in another thread that Kobe had a masterful Game 4 when Shaq fouled out, willing the Lakers in the 4th quarter and overtime (2011 LeBron was nowhere to be found in 4th quarters).

Above all else though, the Lakers won If anything, Kobe fans "worst nightmare" is the 2004 finals.

LOL No he wasn't. Not even close. Ridiculous statements like that are what make Bronie fluffers get ridiculed. 2011 was the worst choke job of all time, and probably the most embarrassing performance for a star ever. Not even Chokemaster Harden ever had a more embarrassing finals performance.

I don’t know man. Lost with Wade and Bosh. Got embarrassed and got beat by girls. Can never recover from that. The big bad wolfs lost to girls.

[JBSptfn]

As good as he was, he was irrelevant in 2000-02. Shaq was the man, and the refs were the Lakers' second-most important player during that time.
