this is what Kobe speaking to one of his dumb ass stans looks like. they come with bullshyt and tells them what the rest of us already know.

@CantStop :sas2:

He seems to be talking to the dumbass haters to me that always use the argument that Kobe played with Shaq so his first three rings don't count or how playing with Pau means he needs big men to win a championship. I hear that argument WAY more from the haters than the stans.


I don't see how you can interpret it any other way.

The Spurs pretty much obliterate that notion of his.
and thats why the spurs up to this point have never repeated. this is there best chance since the nba is softer now.

how many times did kobe win rings back to back? yep...thought so

Kobe Stans posting a graphic clearly made 7 games into the playoffs...15 years later. Those playoffs are over, right? Shouldn't you be posting the final numbers?

Even better, the only numbers on there are "total points" and minutes. No rebounds, no FG%, nothing about defense.

Your entire argument is that Kobe once managed 0.1 more points a game after the 7th game of a playoff series.

Is there another fan base in history that posts the 7-games-in graphic over and over again and thinks it means something? Those stats are pretty much what Kobe did in the FIRST ROUND...most stars on championship squads are borderline sleepwalking through the first round while they get ready for the real games.



Ahh you mean the finals series where he had one of the greatest sports performances of all time on a bum ankle?


tell me more :rudy:

You mean the Finals series where he had ONE good game in a 6-game series? 13 points, 2 points and injured, DNP, 30-something points, 8 points on 4-20 shooting, and 20-something points on 7-24 shooting. That was his "great" Finals. Volume shooter chucked up 20+ shots three games in a row....hit 14-27, 4-20, and 7-24. Yes, when you shoot that many times, every once in a while the shots will go in.



But stats are for nerds and cacs though :troll:

So why you quote Kobe stats? :ohhh: Guess you better stop saying "81" anymore. :ufdup:



Is he lying tho? This obsession with amount of FG's taken was only started a few years ago by pretentious hipster types.
It don't. Or at least I just don't care enough about it. I don't give a shyt about no passing or "playing the right way". I like to see Sabo take a ridiculous amount of shots.

There are only two numbers that actually matter. How many points your team scores per possession, and how many points the other team scores per possession. Whatever contributes to making the first number bigger than the second number wins games.

Other than turnovers, pretty much the biggest way you could possibly make your own "points per possession" worse is by missing shots. You pass the ball, someone else has a good chance to score still. You miss the shot, and all you can do is pray your own team gets the rebound.

We still haven't put ENOUGH emphasis on how team-killing missed shots are. All else being equal, FG% is a far more important number than ppg.

Even though I get the feeling it's all pretty calculated, I like this version of Kobe.

Shaq was lazy, though :yeshrug:

difference is
Jordan won 6 finals mvp's, pippen 0
Lebron won 2 straight finals mvp's, wade and bosh won none during that stretch
Magic won 3 to kareem's 1 during the lakers title run

:sas2:

Shaq won 3 finals mvps, kobe won 0 during the 3peat
:sas1:

Shaq had great teammates :mjpls: aka a great supporting cast :mjpls: that included rick fox, derek fisher, robert horry and kobe all playing their roles following the leader to 3 straight finals victories
:sas2:
