Kobe may not have had his best game in G7, but without a doubt, he was the best player in the series. And he didn't choke, it's not like he cost the Lakers the tile.

He almost did, he got lucky. But yeah he deserved FMVP no doubt. But Kobe stans need to admit he wasn't the best player in game 7.

Simply the best, the best.....

@ Jacks3's meltdown here. Is Kobe your ****ing daddy or something? We get it. 5 RINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for criticizing your father.

Well, I'm missing some details still (how many shots did he make for example) because people only focus on the game winner he hit. Sounds like he had a poor game though, but I'll give him credit for the game winner. And I was 6 when that happened and didn't watch. I did watch Kobe in game 7 2010 so I'm not basing this off stats...he played poorly period. He still deserved FMVP though.

He went 15-35 from the field and 12-15 from the FT line to get his 45 points. Have you seen the 98 Finals game 6? Watch the game, ignore the boxscore, and look back at the reactions after the game. The opinions on Jordan's game 6 were completely different then Kobe's game 7. As you know, the common opinion of Kobe's game was that he didn't meet expectations and his teammates came up big for him. After Jordan's game, the common opinion was that he had a great game, played "Jordan-like" and had the perfect ending to his career, singlehandedly willed his team to victory as his teammates couldn't really do much (Pippen was playing injured and arguably shouldn't have even played, Rodman wasn't having a good series and was getting destroyed by Karl Malone, and the whole team in general was old with alot of mileage and it was clear that this was the last run). To put it in perspective on how much of a load he carried that game, he actually scored well over half of the Bulls' points.

LOL I love how Kobe fans say "MJ missed 20 shots". He shot 43 %, which is a hell of a lot better than Kobe's 25%. Subpar for MJ, though. I should watch that game....

according to RRR3
Mike Jordan's geartest game was terrible because:
he missed 20 shots ans had total of 1 rebound and 1 assist

choke job, MJ only got 1 board, Kobe got 15

Right. Jordan with arguably the most clutch minute of basketball especially given the stage and circumstance had a choke job.
