but kobe rode shaq to his first three chips..

Great post. I love the '08/'09 Nuggets, '10 Suns' '01 Spurs and '09 Magic. He played very smart and dominated those series, especially the Nuggets, Spurs and Suns series, he snatched their souls.

*prepare for Jordan and Lebron post season comparisons, due to insecurity, hate, and trolling.

damn shame his knees were gone by 33

He was lights out vs the Suns in 2010. That was extremely fun to watch especially after Charles said his days of scoring 30+ points were over. Kobe proceeded to score 30+ in 14 of the next 18 games.

As much as people like to talk about Kobe's FGA post-Shaq, in the '08-'10 playoffs he played a very balanced offensive game while playing top notch defense. He put up 30/6/6 over a 3 playoff run with 2 FMVPs, 2 championships and 3 Finals appearances. That run was very much worthy of a top 10 player.

Lucky for the his opponents, many prayed for his downfall. Tearing his achilles 3 years ago really caused the demise of today, he still was top 5 and the best SG, check the stats.

I agree, but I would add on that 01 Kings series, crazy.

but kobe rode shaq to his first three chips..

was it the other way around?

'00 lakers vs kings:
shaq: 29.4 pts, 17 rebs on 54% shooting
(Then 38 and 16 in the finals for mvp against the pacers while kobe shot 36% from the field )

'01 vs kings
33.3pts 17.4 rebs, 3.3 blocks on 59% shooting
(then wins finals MVP again with the stat line: 33pts 15 reb 4 blocks while kobe shot 41% from the field)

02 finals vs nets
36 pts, 12 rebs, 3 blocks 59% fg for 3rd straight finals mvp


the whole city of LA, excluding nobody, rode Shaq to 3 titles

 

[Battle Beast]

Kobe blacked out vs 01 Spurs I remember I wanted Lakers to lose and was positive the twin towers could stop them. Nope. Kobe obliterated that entire defense blowouts every game.
