you bring up useless stats from 2005-2007. Look at the stats from the first 3 ships. Shaq averaged over 30ppg in the finals while Kome was in the low to mid twenties. Keep trying though.

Kobe - 22.8 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 4.4 APG, .464 FG%
Shaq - 28.2 PPG, 15.0 RPG, 3.4 APG, .546 FG%

Shaq feasted in the finals because all the dominant centers he faced were in the first 3 rounds of the western conference. There is a reason why people said the western conference finals was the real championship those years. It's easy to inflate those stats against weak centers.
