Looking back, how the hell did Kobe win a Game 7 despite going 6/24?

[TrueBlue89]

I genuinely cannot think of a single superstar in NBA history that has won a Championship despite playing that poorly in a do or die game.

Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, Ron Artest, Derrick Fisher

[keep-itreal]

he had Gasol and Bynum to grab his bricks

The Kobe-assist is a lethal weapon

[Showtime2001]

Didn't he grab 15 rebounds?

[jstern]

In an interview back in 2010, Lebron said that Kobe having such a game was one of the major reasons he joined the Heat.

If Kobe had a decent shooting game, then Lebron to the Heat might have never happened. The NBA could have been so different. And all because of 6/24.

Lmao 20 more free throws for Lakeshow

[SouBeachTalents]

Duncan didn't play well in Game 7 in '05 either

[Im Still Ballin]

23 offensive rebounds to 8

That won em the game

Didn't he grab 15 rebounds?

gasol had 18 rebounds, 9 of them offensive

[Dr Hawk]

The Lakers won the game thanks to the offensive rebounds. They grabbed 23!! That's huge. Pau grabbed 9 of them. Garnett should have done a better job, he only grabbed 3 total rebounds. I blame him a lot for this Celtics loss

[Im Still Ballin]

Garnett had 3 rebounds

Dude got bullied by them lakeshow boys

[Showtime2001]

gasol had 18 rebounds, 9 of them offensive

15 rebounds for a shooting guard is pretty impressive.

15 rebounds for a shooting guard is pretty impressive.

you gotta watch the game, famo.. bigs just moved out of the way so Kobe could fulfill his stat pad needs and make his terrible game look just mediocre.
