Is this the worst playoff game ever by a top 5 player in the league at the time?

Nah Kobe's 6-24 was still worse


Although its debatable whether he was top 5 in 2010

Just stop

[rule1223]

sub in any d-leaguer in that game and he wouldve done better

[Stringer Bell]

Getting bailed by refs and awarded freethrows doesnt impress me and it shouldnt impress you. Lakers were down big in the 3rd and then refs gave them FT's


Heres the important facts

Kobe made 12 points from field goals in his Game 7

LeBron made 29 points from field goals from his Game 7

All this while Kobe shot 1 MORE shot

So Kobe needed 1 MORE shot to score less than half of LeBrons points

Kobe's performance in game 7 in 2010 for the most part was poor. I do credit the Celtics D as well, but quite a few of those Kobe shots were just bad shot selection rather than the Celtics playing great D. Not misses that just happened in the flow of the offense or amazing D, just bad shot selection.

Although most players in that game shot poorly. Kobe did have a good 4th quarter and rebounded well. Kobe haters will say it was like the worst performance ever and some of his gay fanbase will try to excuse his poor shot selection which played a part in them needing a good comeback to win.

Of course the truth is in the middle.

As for the OP, I can't think of any worse performance off the top of my head. Bron had some other real stinkers too in 2010 (Boston Gm 5) and 2011 (Dallas Gm 4)

AND he followed it up the next year with the absolute worst playoff game/series by an apparent Top 10 player.

Ray Allen 37 Minutes and 0!! Points, wow my ***** Hibbert would be proud

Ray Allen was so inconsistent in Boston, so overrated
he had tons of shit games which is why the Cs didnt dominate the early rounds in 08
KG was by far their best and most consistent player when u factor both sides of the ball

On pace for 6-54

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Bob Cousy and Bill Sharman went a combined 5-40 in a finals game 7. Both were all NBA first team...and Cousy was the MVP.

They won anyway because of Bill Russell and Tommy Heinson. But still....

Neither were top 5 players that year
Pettit, Russell, Dolph, Johnston and Arizin were better

Call me a hater if you will, but was 07-08 LeBron a top 5 player?

KG, Kobe, and CP3 are locks. Is LeBron one of the next best two guys that season

Maybe I'm just underrating him pre 08-09.

Cousy won MVP that year though.

[Young X]

He was 8/42 with 17 turnovers combined in the 1st 2 games of that series.




51 wasted possessions

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Cousy won MVP that year though.

Rose won it 2011 he wasnt a top 5 player Neither was Wes Unseld
in hindsight we know Cousy wasnt that important to the Cs

Yea I mean its arguable he only had a 30/7/8 season after all

[Warfan]

Near quadruple double

AND he followed it up the next year with the absolute worst playoff game/series by an apparent Top 10 player.
