Your hero scored 15 ppg on 36%
Shaq averaged 38 and 17 on 60+%fg
That's the definition of being carried.

Probably, but you never know. What happens if Shaq fouls out again, which he was obviously more than capable of? No Kobe, and then going against one of the most clutch players of all-time in Reggie Miller.
I'm not saying the Lakers would have lost, but you have to give Kobe credit for what he did in Game 4, especially considering the magnitude of the game (3-1 vs 2-2).

Tbh, that was at least as impactful as anything Wade's broken down ass achieved in the 2013 finals.
Shaq fouled out with 2:33 left in OT with the score 112-109 Lakers.
Kobe scored 6pts after Shaq fouled out. While he was the leading scorer after the 2:33 mark, it's still not really enough to warrant the term "completely took over"

I didn't say they wouldn't have, but it's not like others were taking and missing shots after Shaq fouled out. Kobe was the one taking the shots, outside of Shaw's miss at the very end followed by Kobe's put back put them up by 3.
Just saying that going 3-3 after Shaq fouled out really doesn't warrant the expression........... "completely took over"
Horry went 2-2 and LA had a 3pt lead when Shaq fouled out. Does that mean Rob was completely taking the game over? I would say no.

Wade with a Kyrie sidekick would've beat the Mavs in 2011.

They wouldn't have gotten past the Bulls.
