Past his prime or not (he's obviously passed it, but still)...2011 is anomaly because he was injured in the playoffs, basically playing on one leg, and considering retirement at that point...not that it matters,
kobe gets no passes for anything and was summarily criticized and written off as finished after that Dallas series 
...but for comparisons sake, I'm not seeing why Kobe limping through the playoffs that year would be used to make any point when he clearly wasn't healthy....there's plenty of other seasons kobe didn't win a chip that y'all can use as "see...kobe doesn't win every year too" examples...even if that's not what the thread is really about (lebron at the height of powers in the absolute prime of his career allowing himself to be rendered a role player throughout an entire Finals series by being guarded like Rondo)
