Career Playoff Stat Line (History Of the game) 1. Jordan (33ppg) 2. Iverson (30 ppg) 3. Jerry West (29.2 ppg) 4. Tracy McGrady (28.9 ppg) - - - - - - Kobe Bryant (23 ppg ) To be in that legendary company proves tracy is money come playoff time However this is the only playoff series that Kobe has avgd more than tracy, this yr: 1) Kobe 2) Tracy But i am going to give tracy the benefit of the doubt do to the painful injuries hes been playing on.
My opinion is Kobe is better than TMac, and I don't think you'll find many that can argue against that. BUT...I bet it's easier to defend the Rockets than the Lakers. Are we forgetting how Kobe has had issues with playoff success when he was alone and crying for a trade? This year, defending the Rockets: Guard a hobbled McGrady, make everyone else beat us, b/c for a 7 game series they can't. Defending the Lakers: Guard Kobe, Odom, Fisher, Gasol, etc. I'm not even going to mention the bench. Kobe has more room to attack. TMac doesn't especially since Yao went out, and still attacked. The difference? Kobe gets a lot of foul calls when Tracy does not.
