kobe's 2010 finals were one of only 11 times in finals history where a player averaged at least 10ppg more than every other player and he was one of only two players to do it more than once. jordan 3x, kobe 2x, mikan, shaq, wade, barry, erving, james, number of times averaging 10ppg more than everyone else while also leading team in assists and winning the title only happened 3 times, kobe 2x jordan 1x.
This is because he took more shots than any other 2 lakers put together and sure, he led the lakers in assists by 1 with 27 to Gasol’s 26, but he also had 14 more turnovers than Pau had with 27 while Pau had just 13. It was not a great series for him by any objective measure. He took 73 more shots than Pau to score 70 more points. If you’re shooting that much more than anyone else, you better score a lot more.

Yea, you're right. Kobe should've passed the ball to Bynum so he could trip and kick the ball out of bounds and to Gasol so KG would swat that shyt.

Gasol has never put up 30 points per game like ever so you're a goofy for even suggesting he could have if he got the ball more.
