Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
lol PPG
because that's the only thing that makes Kobe look good.
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Shit thread. But I did notice something.
Kobe 2000 Finals: 16/5/4 on 37%. 20% 3p.
Fisher 2002 Finals: 13/4/4 on 52%. 67% 3p.:bowdown:
Fisher > Kobe. Thanks Kenneth.

19ppg in the games kobe actually played more than 2 minutes
:lol
and kobe held reggie to 1 for 16 in game 1
saved game 4
and had a double double in game 6
not to mention saving the season in game 7 wcf
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
hypocrisy at its finest
"shaq can win with any kobe replacement"
"all kobe does is score"
"how can you mention only ppg"

Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Fun fact: Kobe has NEVER led the playoffs in Box Plus Minus
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Lebron has led it 8 times and MJ has led it 6
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
To be fair, Shaq won his first title while his second option got outscored by a role player, Austin Croshere.

1 more reason for me not to give a f*ck about advanced stats/ analytics
didnt kobe lead the lakers in win shares during the 2001 playoffs

if michael jordan missed 2 full games during a finals he might get outscored in total points by scottie pippen. who knows
what does that prove?
:lol
fact is without kobes heroics VS the REAL finals ( best team ) portland.... shaq wouldnt have made it to the finals to beat up on the pissers lol
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Only because he played more minutes than Shaq
Shaqs per48 win shares was slightly better
Then you factor in Shaq was the brunt of the defensive attention
It's the closest Kobe ever came to dethroning Shaq
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Fun Fact: Pau Gasol has a higher career playoffs Box Plus Minus and Win shares per 48 minutes than Kobe
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
people seem to forget that the east has sucked forever. and the real nba finals is in the western conference
they all say ... "well shaq and any 20ppg guy can beat the pissers, philly and jersey"
except shaq with any other guy doesnt make it past portland, sanantonio or sacramento to play those weak finals matchups
sh*t.. kobe and any adequate big woulda shat all over indy, philly and jersey too
this isnt saying allot.. the east sucked
:roll:
Re: shaq coulda won 3 straight if you replaced kobe with any other quality 2nd option
Fun additional Fact: Pau had a superior Win shares per 48, Box Plus Minus, and Win shares in the 2010 playoffs compared to Kobe
