2007: Is There a Worse Performance in the NBA Finals from a Healthy Superstar?

[34-24 Footwork]

Shot 35% from the field
20% from 3 Point Line
69% from the Line
About 6 turnovers per game (more turnovers than his entire roster combined)

All in FOUR GAMES :lol

Lost by 3 points in game 3
Lost by 1 point in game 4

2000 Kobe was in fact injured, but at least he won his team a game with Shaq fouled out and on the road nonetheless in his first game back from an ankle injury that would normally sideline a player for 2-4 weeks. He also closed the series out in Game 6 late in the 4th.

What did Lebron do in 2007? Didn't Kobe also beat the same Spurs team in 5 a year later with his 2nd option being just as good as Lebron's with Duncan dominating the Lakers?

Yeah, he rushed back early and played the rest of the series on one leg but still had more impact than Lebron in 2007, who couldn't win his team one game. 26/10/4/1/2 on 42%TS in Game 6 is not that bad, he had a rough start shooting but made some clutch baskets, including a block on Rose and made 4 straight FTs to close the series out.

Need I remind you that Kobe's the only reason they even got to the Finals that year? They had to injure him on purpose to even have a chance in that series & he came back just 2 games later to kill Indiana's title hopes in their own house.

I'm not sure. You check those final scores of those games? Every game was pretty much close.

Maybe a few less turnovers from Lebron and it's not a sweep. Maybe shooting at least 75% from the line would've helped.

People react differently to knowing they cant win, then knowing it's a series and that they're gonna put you on an island every time, has to be awful. He was pretty young. But I am cool w what Bron did before he quit v the cs in 2010. I think Bron should have made the finals one of those those late 00 years. Maybe he'd lose. Kobe v Bron, we were supposed to see that once.

I really thought 09 or 10 was his year. 07 he was playing an atg, an atg defensive player w an atg defensive mind game scheme. He could have just balled out but yknow it's like I said Reggie Miller was broke as **** his first finals game. Bron got the trial by fire unlike anyone I've ever seen. Can't be mad he got swept.

It's probably how Larry bird felt when he played v Magics msu except he had to do it more than once.

Eh, considering he came up with a legendary clutch performance in game 4 and also put up 26/10/4/2/1 with only 1 turn over playing excellent defense and coming up big in the 4th quarter in the clinching game, it's not a big deal in terms of his legacy. His defense on Mark Jackson was very impressive throughout the series actually. This is from after Game 1:

Quote:
Kobe's defense -- Kobe Bryant's ball pressure on Pacers point guard Mark Jackson was tremendous. It didn't cause turnovers, but it kept Indiana from getting into its half court offense quickly, and thus disrupted the timing. Kobe also did a good job chasing Miller around screens and denying him the ball when assigned to him.


Quote:
Bryant's ball pressure on Pacers guard Mark Jackson also helped the cause, slowing down the Indiana offense just enough to disrupt Miller's timing as he flew off screens. "It seemed like Reggie never got in any rythym," Pacers center Sam Perkins admitted.

Shaq.

Shaq was worse than Kobe through those 3 rounds and Kobe got just as much defensive attention as James, actually more because Kobe had a reliable mid-range shot and James didn't. Defenders backed off James and always gave him the wide open mid-range shot while Kobe had to shoot it off the dribble with a hand in his face.

Big Z & Drew Gooden averaged 25/18 combined and he also had Varejao, Hughes, Pavlovic & Gibson. Cavs went 9-10 deep in the Playoffs while Lakers played 7-8.

So with that in mind + Lebron facing weaker teams in the non-handcheck era, Kobe's Finals run was simply more impressive.. 39/10/4 50%FG in 4 straight road wins while Shaq was putting up 23 ppg in the same stretch.

[superduper]

Shaq is lucky Kobe saved him from the image of being Duncan's bitch his entire career. If it wasn't for Kobe bailing him out year after year in the playoffs who knows what the "MDE's" career would've been like.

Great thread, fellas.

Just so we're on the same page...

So we couldn't come up with anything worse than 6 TO's per game, 35% shooting, 20% from the 3, and 69% from the freethrow?

[PickernRoller]

6 TO's are worse than bricking 6 shots. At least if you brick then, you have a chance for an offensive board.

Turnovers are 1, a wasted possession and 2, 50/50 fast break 2 pt for the opponent.

If you were to factor that into his shooting percentage.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

What are you crying about now? We are discussing worst performance in a finals. Kobe's was arguably the worst ever. If you're healthy enough to play, you're healthy enough. Otherwise,you open up a whole can of worms. Very few players are still 100% when the finals come around. Being sore or a little banged up doesn't mean you're injured. Otherwise, every poor finals by a player can be pinned on being banged up.

Attempting to injure someone doesnt mean that the individual in question is injured. If the latter is on the court, it means he's banged up. Kobe shot extremely poorly before said incident occurred. And poorly after it occurred. So I'm not about to pin it on that.

Ouch. Surely this hypothetical superstar redeems himself 4 years later.

Blowout loss with 6 turnovers and barely 60% from the FT line lol. Kobe shot better and had less TOs in all 5 games against the Spurs the following year with his 2nd option averaging same numbers :eek:

Gooden: 13 ppg 50%FG
Gasol: 13 ppg 45%FG

One got swept and the other won in 5.

I just started watching basketball, too bro. I got into basketball by, coincidentally, NOT watching basketball. I found this though.

Literally no one in this thread believes that RRR3 or AJ watches basketball. Both just copy/paste numbers from basketball reference :lol

This thread (the one that you created) is based on numbers, you autistic ****.

This is literally the OP:

Except Kobe shot 46.4%FG for the Playoffs prior to injury with 6/13 in his only healthy Finals game lol. Yeah, he wasn't injured when he basically missed 2 games and played the rest of the series on a bad ankle.

"On a bad ankle". He was healthy enough to play. He missed one game. Besides that, we dont really care about excuses. Everyone is hobbled in finals. This was even worse than 2007.

And Kobe's 2004 was worse than lebron's 2011.

The latter didnt start watching until 2009 because that's when they starting broadcasting games in India, I'm told. Anything prior to that, he's box score watching.

Dont know about RRR3 but hes a Lebron fan. Most weren't watching in 2000. If they were, they would have been stanning another player (most likely Kobe) and would be part of the Kobe stans here, like you.

You literally haven't watched a minute of basketball in your entire life and your batshit insane posting just proves that. Not to mention that your life revolves around hating on Kobe. A player who might soon get kicked out of the top 10. That's just sad and pathetic.
