Kobe stans![]()
Being that he averaged like 23 points while they built that 3-1 lead, it's a pretty long list.NAME ME ONE OTHER PLAYER THAT WOULDA TOOK SMUSH PARKER, LUKE WALTON, AND KWAME BROWN TO 7 GAMES AGAINST A CONTENDER.

Kobe liked to play in a way that promoted himself and for two seasons, he got to ballhog like no player we have ever seen. If he was the best scorer like you claim, he would have more than 2 scoring titles in 20 seasons. You can't make excuses for that when he led the league in shots attempted a bunch of times.
Definitely especially if he played in the east, (thank god he didn't because it was trash af and wouldn't have made him a lion)
And it was way easier to score in '05/06. Zone defenses weren't as advanced as they are now and that was right after the rule changes and the refs hadn't adjusted to them well so they were blowing the whistle on EVERYTHING. Free throws skyrocketed those first few years until the refs started to get a little less strict and subtly adjusted rules to get rid of easy FT tricks like the rip-through.
Good point, who knowsBeing that he averaged like 23 points while they built that 3-1 lead, it's a pretty long list.

WOULDNT EVEN BE FAIR IF HE PLAYED IN THE EAST.. WE LOOKIN AT 50 PPG RANGE
You act like it isn't a general popular opinion that Kobe is one of the most dangerous scorers ever. His run in 05-07 still has yet to be redone again and we are in the most athletic era of all. This is a guy who averaged 28.1 and almost 30 in the playoffs on a Shaq led team. From then to like 2012 he averaged between 25-35 points. The only reason his overall points per game suffered is because of the last few years
YUP .. IMAGINE IF HE DIDNT HAVE TO SHARE SCORING DUTIES WIT A PLAYER LIKE SHAQ IN THE EARLY 2000'S, BUT INSTEAD PLAYED ON A TEAM LIKE 80'S CHICAGO OR 2000'S CLEVELAND.. THATS AN AUTOMATIC 40 PPG. NOT TO MENTION, HE PLAYED HIS ENTIRE CAREER IN THE TRIANGLE, WHICH LIMITS INDIVIDUAL SCORING. HE ONLY GOT TO 35+ PPG IN THE MID 2000'S BECAUSE HIS TEAM DESPERATELY NEEDED HIM TO.
Don't forget 02-03 he averaged 30 on 45% playing all 82 games under the final year of Shaqs prime and dominance.

EC perimeter defense was better. check his stats back then. Look at his stats vs WC teams and EC teams.
