It isn't that he doesn't have great playoff moments, it is that he lacks great moments in the Finals during his 2 FMVP years.

Typical Kobe hater, changing up the parameters when they are proven wrong.

Proven wrong? When did I say that he didn't have memorable playoff moments in the first place to even set up initial "parameters"?

Don't act dumb, dude. It's pretty obvious by your response you're reaching hardcore and further narrowing the parameters of what should be considered "legitimate" playoff performance just to fit your agenda ("Oh, it has to happen in a Finals where he won Finals MVP") Get real.

What the fk are you talking about, troll? I never said anything about Kobe's performances not being legitimate. I respect Kobe and think he is one of the best players of all time. All I was saying was that I thought a common complaint people had towards Kobe was that his 2 FMVP Finals didn't have many memorable moments. That in no way diminishes his accomplishments. Stop being such a sensitive baby.

Those are good moments, but not memorable. Kobe just happens to be lacking memorable moments that stick out in people's mind, like the player's he's compared to.

What is Lebron's most memorable moment in Finals history? the entire 2011 Finals?

Kobe's the only player since MJ to put up 30+ ppg 5+ rpg 7+ apg in a Finals series, he absolutely dominated the Orlando Magic on both ends of the floor.

2010 Finals Game 7, the pass to Ron Artest for the biggest shot of the series, making clutch FTs to ice the game.

I didn't bring Lebron up so not sure why you're showing your insecurity, and we're talking about memorable moments, not putting up 30+ points on 40% shooting.

You could argue some of the "Honorable Mentions" as not being memorable, but the initial 7 I listed are all legitimate. What more proof do you need than those moments/plays appearing on multiple, legitimate "Best of/Greatest Moments" lists.

That's AT LEAST 7. What other GOAT candidate has more memorable playoff moments, besides Jordan?

Stop grasping at straws, haters.

[Jameerthefear]

Weakest moments ever Didn't even read this list. Kobe is not a legend or top 10 player of alltime
