The point is?

That's hardly a fair comparison as Kobe wasn't KOBE yet then and NOBODY was going to outplay Shaq that year or even come close to his numbers. How come you didn't use the other two championships, when Kobe was a top 5 player, to prove it?

When they were both top 5, Kobe wasn't being carried. Wade and Bosh are carried by LeBron more than Kobe was by Shaq.

He's not eliminated.

Top 5 All-Time, which is what Kobe is, is GOAT candidate.

Nobody can give me a reasonable response but why do NBA fan care so much about all time rankings compared to other NA sports.

can yall just stop talking about BS rankings and actually talk about the GAME

****ing fa[COLOR="Black"]gg[/COLOR]ots on this site don't even really appreciate the skill level of these players and what goes into the development from young player to world champion level player and why only a few are able accomplish that feat.

No kobe fan says he's the GOAT. Even the most delusional kobetards don't have him higher than 5, maybe 4 all-time.

Kobe severely injured his ankle in during the 2000 finals, he had to sit out 1 or 2 games and wasn't the same for the series, you twit.

Go look at their numbers for Game 7 of the Blazer series.
