Me and a few of my boys are huge stat guys and we were talking about this. Statistically speaking, was this the best individual season of the 2000s?
I know Lebron has some great years, Duncan, Garnett and T-Mac do too. But Kobe was scoring the ball at an extremely impressive rate and he was averaging 5 assist, 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Granted he was on a weak Laker team taking 27 shots a game with a second option of Lamar Odom, who really didn't play his best Laker basketball until 08-09. Scoring wise, Kobe was unstoppable.
He scored 62 points in 31 minutes one game. Had a 5 game 40+ point game streak (45, 48, 50, 45, 41). He had 6 50+ point scoring games. 26 40+ point scoring games. Most significantly, he scored 81 points in a game. He finished the season with 2,822 points (35.4), I mean, that's a lot of points.
I'm just saying individually, no team dynamics involved, this was a truly astonishing season statistically. Who else has some great years in the 00s that would be comparable? I'm genuinely curious. Garnet had some great years in the 00s. T-Mac had a couple of monster years. Lebron too, especially by the end of the 00s. But statistically, who else has a better season?
