:comeon: This is exactly why y'all are so delusional. Strictly box score analytics without applying the context of the game..
I was actually doing you a favor by going by the box scores, because we all know if we broke down how each of them got their points and involved their team in their offense, it would be weigh heavily in Kobe's favor. Kobe was more efficient with the ball and played more team-ball (the very thing yall ridicule him of not doing). If the shoe was on the other foot and we were talking about a series where Kobe averaged 16+ free throws a game yall would be crying wolf of how he isn't shyt without the refs and that that series was rigged in favor of the Lakers. But since it isn't him, it's automatically one of the greatest performances in a playoff series.

So please give me the context on how Wade's 06 Finals performances shyts on every single Kobe playoff series performance.

I purposefully stated Wade's 06 performance because it's common knowledge that it is undoubtedly one of the best playoff performances ever but you somehow someway you came to the conclusion through box score analytics that Kobe's 10' WCF was better because your fanhood dictates you too.

Common knowledge to whom? Kobe against the Suns in 2010 is one of the great all-time performances. It was near perfection.

I'll leave you with this. The rest of the world sees Wade's 06' performance different than Kobe stans.

THE REST OF THE WORLD? You've got to be kidding me. This list was made by ONE person who made up a metric to determine a player's efficiency on a per minute basis. The opinion of ONE person, not the opinion of the rest of the world. The only reason why it was rated so high, was because of the free throws he made and the blocks and steals.

GTFOH. :ufdup:

You're not getting away with that shyt so easily. And the bold doesn't even make any sense.... you just fukked up. You in here throwing stones and when I throw bigger ones back you duck and hide. Tell us why does Wade's 06 Finals performance shyts all over every single one of Kobe's playoff series performances?

Yall Kobe detractors are just shytty all around. Half the time you don't even know what you're arguing about, yall just pound away at the keyboard the minute somebody paints Kobe in a positive light. Yall label yourselves as the voice of reason, fighting the good fight, establishing normality to the situation... yet yall are guilty of the very conniving activity and hypocritical maneuvering you claim Kobe stans practice.

:camby: with yall bullshyt.

And the nerve of you to state -

"I think Hardens game is based around getting a high percentage result. If the defense plays off, he takes the open shot. If they crowd him, he goes by them. If the defense rotates, he hits the open guy. If they don't rotate or are late with rotations, he attacks the basket and often draws contact. So the usual outcomes are an open midrange shot, an open corner 3, an open layup, or two free throws. It's smart basketball"

When he has only had a fraction of success playing the way he's played and Kobe has five titles. :heh:
This is why I dusted off your last monologue, you refuse to stay on topic. According to you, no skill, attribute, or fundamental approach of another player can be compared to Kobe's until they have 5 rings and 32000 points. No one here is comparing resumes or overall greatness so leave that canned "5 rings!" nonsense out of here.

Since you keep bringing up Kobes series against the Suns, don't you wish he would have chosen to play like that more often? Yet we all know its ridiculous to expect (or even hope) for him to play that way.

I am talking about the present and Harden is a player that is trending upward. He is still prone to bad games or bad series just like any other player is. If he has another bad series this year, it will be that the other team was better or that he simply wasnt good enough. It won't be that he had his head up his ass and was playing a flawed game of basketball that minimized his talents.

it was a great performance but it cannot be considered #1 based purely on the fact that there exists an asterisk on it.

it still feels like most of wade's biggest moments came at the free throw line, i don't know i haven't watched that series in a long time. maybe my memory is fuzzy, or maybe i''ve just been exposed to too much resivionist history... but when i think back to that series i swear it felt like all those big d-wade games were decided at the free throw line.
