Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant- Finals averages

[Heavincent]

That's bullshit and you know it.

It's really not. It doesn't help that Kobe is still playing at a high level and has a good chance of winning another ring.

Kobe has 4 good/great Finals performances. Lebron has two very bad Finals performances.

FOUR!!!??? which were the other three besides the 2009 performance.

One good performance out of 7 isn't good. Kobe is pretty much like LeBron on the biggest stage but luckily for Kobe, his teammates carried his ass.

Kobe played good in 2001, 2002, 2009, and 2010
yes even in 2010, 8 rebounds per game for a SG, and 15 rebs in gm 7
his teammates didnt carry his ass, for example in 2010 Kobe had 10 4th quarter points in game 7, the most in the game

how was 2010 a bad performance?

LeBron has accomplished more in the regular season and playoffs (except for the finals, of course) than Kobe did at the same point in his career.

Regular season: I guess
Playoffs: Hell no.

Reality.

And when or where did reality say this? Would you be really surprised if Kobe goes back to his old self next season, or whenever we have a season? He is not done yet. I don't think he is a top 5 player anymore, but he can work his way back up. He certainly wasn't even top 5 as far as top 5 players in the season last season either. The injuries have been nagging him for a while, but this off-season he got knee surgery which seemed to help him a lot from the basketball footage I saw from him last summer. The longer the lockout lasts the more rest Kobe will have and the more time Kobe will have to prepare for the season.

LeBron choked in the finals once. LOL @ people trying to rewrite history and act as if the Cavs had a chance against the Spurs. LeBron was 21 then and did all he could. Sure he had a bad series, but it's not "choking" when no one expected them to win.

0 points on 0-7 FG in the Clutch in the 2011 Finals

How many of those are you saying were "great"? Sure, they were all very good to great in general, but Kobe has often played poorly for his lofty standards during the finals.

02 and 09 were amazing performances. 01 and 2010 were good.

Overall, Kobe is a good Finals performer.

[D-Wade316]

Wow, Jordan is better than Kobe. I didn't though this until now. Thanks for the mind blowing information.

Anybody looks bad when compared to Jordan. Kobe is still a good Finals performer, and he is still one of the greatest players of all time. I don't know what the point of this thread is.

He is absolutely atrocious in the Finals.

[D-Wade316]

Finals MVP with Wade on the team?
and 2 championships with Wade and Bosh is not going to surpass Kobe's legacy

So Kobe's first 3 rings doesn't count because he played with Shaq?

[Heavincent]

He is absolutely atrocious in the Finals.

[D-Wade316]

01 - good
02 - good
09 - above average
10 - atrocious

Kobe's finals performances in those years

[Deuce Bigalow]

So Kobe's first 3 rings doesn't count because he played with Shaq?

I meant that Lebron is not going to be getting Finals MVPs playing with Wade
the dude was outscored by a bench player, I mean come on

[24r2]

He only need to win 2 FMVP's then he'll have the same amount of FMVP's a Kobe, a better peak and more RS MVP's. Assuming he doesn't completely tank after accomplishing this, he'll be above Kobe IMO. But that's another debate. Back to how Jordan rapes Kobe

LOL shut the fukc up, biatch
