I actually briefly summarized all of Kobe's shots in that series in another thread. I did so because some posters said Kobe went up against an easy defense:

- 3 pointer, late contest by Nash
- Mid range shot, good defense by G-Hill
- Step back shot, contest by Dudley
- Great back door play by Kobe and 1, poor defense and foul on Frye
- Open court lay up on a turnover, pass from Odom

All this for:

33.7pts 7.2reb 8.3ast 52%fg

To me, the Suns actually played him pretty damn well. Just Kobe being Kobe

Put all the shots and add the context and prespective to it... You probably onto something King 24.

Jordan in his playoff career NEVER averaged fewer than 30 ppg. He has also NEVER quit on his team in the playoffs unlike Kobe (remember against the PHO series a few years back and the last game of the championship against BOS?).

That's great.

I think everyone with their head on straight knows that Jordan > Kobe in everything except 3 point shooting.

No need for the history lesson here. If you have a problem with Kobe, don't open the thread about him.

Unless you trolling.

Bad trolling. Pretty weak effort.

[G-train]

Larry Bird had some series where he shot really well, in regards to the 'best shooting series' discussion.

Bad trolling. Pretty weak effort.

That's not trolling, that's the Truth, something Kobe Stans are allergic to, or constantly mistake for trolling
