4 years before he raped a white girl
...
6 years later he led his stacked team to a 7th seed.

More like Dwightmare dragged the greatest player of all time down to the 7th seed, and if Kobe didnt get hurt he would have dragged Dwightmare to the finals.

His end of the season scoring binge has to be one of the most impressive individual feats.

Phil gives him the green light to shoot while LA is on a 6 game losing streak and the result is 65 and win vs Portland, eventually four consecutive 50+ games including another 60 point game, all in wins, and then 43 to make the winning streak 5.

In fact, from the Portland game until the end of the season, Kobe averaged 40.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 4.4 apg on 47.3% shooting, 35.3% on 3s and 88.5% from the line for an eFG% of 50.9% and 57.9 TS% and only 2.8 turnovers per game over his final 17 games.

I can't think of a time period in recent NBA history where a player scoring 50 seemed as ordinary as Kobe during that final month or so. In fact, he scored at least 50 in seven of those final 17 games, and at least 40 in 9 of those games.

Pretty good stuff. The only player I could see averaging those #'s is LeBron, but he wouldn't have nearly the amount of 50+ point games.

people on ISH underrate kobe so much. People here argue wade is better than him.

Um... he is. 2 Achilles > 1 Achilles. Doesn't mean Wade has a better career than Kobe, Kobe's got him beat by a mile. Wade's just been the better player since 09'. Kobe retook his superiority in 13', but his Achilles plops him down again.

1st round exit.

I thought Kobe was all about the ships?

One of the greatest if not the greatest season for perimeter player of all time..

[SilkkTheShocker]

Was that the same year he cried and demanded a trade? You know, the one where he wanted to trade Bynum for Jason Kidd.
