10 Finals:28.6ppg,3.9apg,8rpg,2.0spg,0.7bpg and 40.5%(163shots for 200pts)

He was injured in the 00 Finals facing a good defensive team, and has faced lots of good defensive teams in the finals so it's kind of expected that his fg% goes down. However if you look, several high spg and bpg series which means he isn't just sitting around moping because he's facing good defensive teams.

Kobe injured in 2000 finals, out of shape on IV's coming off two surgeries in 2004 finals, not healthy in 2010 finals either(knee). Lakers also took advantage of weak interiors to feed Shaq like crazy in the 3-peat.

Don't forget his broken pinkie in 2008, cut near his eye in 2009, and sprained ankle in 2001; not too sure about 2002, thought he had a migraine though.

Excuses are for women.....

His first three Finals weren't that competitive. LA played teams they were clearly better than and demolished them. Plus they were Shaq's first title shots so he got way more touches in the Finals.

And then in the last three Finals Kobe played top defenses in the league in each matchup. Number 1 ranked Orlando in 09 and an all time great defensive team in Boston in the other two years.

Every team Kobe played in the Finals was a defensive minded team.. 08-10 Celtics, 04 Pistons, 02 Nets, 01 Sixers, 09 Magic.. theyall relied on great D to win. He never got the Mavs in the Finals..

If those are second option statlines...just wow.

and that was Kobe actually holding back his game, for the benefit of the team and Shaqs ego.

Gasol in Title Runs : 19 ppg (56%) 11 rpg 3.0 apg 2.0 bpg

I suppose his Finals numbers are OK then after all the excuses being played out.....

Almost as brutal as Lebron's elbow "injury".

Gasol doing world class power-lifting!

This is Kobe WITHOUT Shaq in the Finals and not holding back.

Your just pushing for an agenda and it's not gonna work. Your boy michael jordan only faced 1 good defensive team in the finals. If he faced the bad boys pistons, the late 90's miami heat, 90's Knicks or a team like that in the finals, then he'd have a lower fg % to.

Nah, your just a wuss....straight up. Your the most apologistic Kobetard i've ever seen....the GOAT at that sort to speak.
