lemme guess. Player B is Lebron?
I guess A is Kobe?

[fpliii]

Depends on:

1) How good the defenses each played were
2) How well each of the two played defensively
3) How close the games were in the 4th quarters
4) How many minutes each played in 4th quarters, and how many turnovers they had

The Lebron part was easy (with all those 4th quarter Finals 2011 pics)... but damn, how did you know it was Kobe?

Yep...

Kobe in 2008 Finals
Lebron in 2011 Finals

Thanks, was scrolling through play-by-play instead, will edit that in.

With that being said, i need to re-check this all, hm.

Kobe performed poor AGAINST a stacked team.

Lebron performed poor WITH a stacked team.

hmmm what's worse?

Both didnt shoot so well....

One did get more rebounds & assists while the other got a bit more of FTs....

You need more editing.


Kobe's real FG from 2008.

G1: 1-6 FG
G2: 4-7 FG
G3: 3-5 FG
G4: 4-8 FG
G5: 2-5 FG
G6: 0-3 FG

Total = 14-34 FG (41.1%)

I hope you see my agenda with this thread.... its aimed towards Kobe fans mostly (dont make me bring up his 2000 finals stats or 2004 Finals 4th qtr stats), everybody had a bad Finals.... Even the almighty Michael Jordan himself, dont be blinded by his 27-30 FGA.... shooting that much ofcourse he would get his points no matter how bad he shot...... but missing many shots is wasted possessions which you could have used to create a more efficient shot instead for your teammates or for yourself.... you can find his bad games in Finals mostly from the 2nd 3-peat....
