Remember last year against us? Game 7 he was 4/12 This year he is 6/24 Chocked again but had his teammates helped him.
i didnt say that. but moving on.. of course players have off games. no player in nba history has played at his highest level every single game of their playoff career. but i dont think using jordans stats from a game 6 where the game was already out of reach for the sonics where there was going to be another game if the bulls loss is the correct comparison to a do or die game 7 especially when the player in question has a history of subpar finals performances. then factor he has played pretty poorly for a majority of the series (only finals mvp in history to shoot under 50% every game of the finals.) this performance still does not discredit him as a great player but brings back the criticism that kobe struggles under the big lights.
Kobe is the greatest shot maker in the NBA and probably ever. He can hit tougher shots than anyone else. He also takes tougher shots than anyone else.
Yeah, the problem is that guys like RockyChamp and goodbug are either very low-IQ or casual fans who don't watch the whole game, or most likely both. So they can make platitudes like this and then non-fans (the kind who go to a bar with their friends and "watch" the game between appletinis) sort of buy into it. And then the legend grows. And since more real fans are getting disillusioned with the NBA and leaving, what are you left with but manufactured stars?
Wow. Kobe must be wild opened all night yesterday cos he missed most of them. In Fact, the Celtics must be leaving Kobe open all series long cos Kobe was shooting 40% this finals.
Sure <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/26-QIC41i84&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/26-QIC41i84&hl=nl_NL&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> I have to say that number 3 is not that impressive since he didn't have to make it more difficult, he could just have dunked it. The others are amazing. The difference between Jordan and bryant is that Jordan actually hits most of his shots. Jordans career FG% is 0,487, Bryant career high fg in a season is 0,469. That is just sad. It is anoying that some people want to Compare Bryant to Jordan, because Jordan is arguably the best ever, and bryant is not top 10 all time. Bryant is a great player, but he is overrated when he is even mentioned in the discussion of greatest ever. Since he takes tougher shots than anyone else it might be a good idea to pass every now and then, If opponents know he also passes to team mates maybe they will defend him differently. It is not a strong point that he takes tougher shots than anyone else.
he is the best rapists in the nba, but he may be behind big ben in all of sports for the top title of rapist in sports! thats how i really feel. he's no good in life and he should go straight to hell, not the nba hall of fame!

He's no Jordan. Prime T-Mac was as good. Kobe has been blessed with a great team around him. But damn can Kobe make beautiful tough shots.
Sorry wrong vid.

Honestly for me, It would take Kobe to get his 7th ring for me to even consider comparing him to Jordan. How are people even debating he's the greatest ever, when He's not EVEN the greatest LAKERS.
nope. Sorry, Kobe has dominated in a league full of guards... Jordan? did it against teams with talented big men. Jordan never had a big man to throw it down to and make plays. Gasol is the real MVP in this series.
Now all Lebron has to do is actually LEAD his team past the Eastern Conference. He seems to have a hard time winning when the games mean something
That the problem. You guys inject too much emotion when it comes to pure basketball opinions. If somebody's hatred for Kobe is that bad to where you cant see his greatness, then you dont need to post. Most of the post i've read here seem personally charged. Kobe great, Lebrons not. Kobe's top 5 greatest with 4 rings, Lebron cant get outta his conference. Game point match KOBE
Not close to Lebron? lol. Cleveland had the BEST record two years in a row. Where were his teammates then? Lebron's not even worth mentioning when it comes to greatness
Not trying to compare Jordan to Kobe here but if people are going to knock on Kobe for his performance in this series.... MJ had similar/worse stats in the 96 finals where he won Finals MVP. 1996 Finals : Michael jordan .415 fg % 27.3 ppg 5.3 rpg 4.2 assists vs 2010 Finals : Kobe bryant 0.432 fg % 28 ppg 8 rpg 4 assists
