“They actually outscored the kings with him on the bench”
Shaq fouls out in the 4th & the lakers still outscored the kings. How? Kobe of course. 48 & 16 rebounds, but most importantly,the lakers still won this Playoff game. This “Carried” talk is Beyond Disingenuous
"THE KOBE ASSIST".
In 2012, Kirk Goldsberry unveiled a unique statistical phenomenon where 15% of Kobe Bryant's missed shots led directly to points.
Kobe's perimeter gravity was so immense that his heavily contested shots regularly drew double and triple teams, leaving opposing defenses completely out of position to box out. In many instances, Kobe would deliberately attack a defense knowing his trailing big men possessed the rebounding advantage.
Goldsberry calculated that Kobe's team scored off 15% of his misses, meaning that a league leading 54% of his total shot attempts resulted in points.
Kobe Bryant didn't care about FG%.
Kobe Bryant cared about WINNING.
Kobe Bryant speaking on a low moment in his career, & the fact his career numbers are down because of Coach Del Harris benching him for his first two seasons 🤡
Kobe: “Now everybody wants to look at career numbers, I wish somebody would have told me that back then.”
In his first 11 games starting at Small Forward dropping 7 (almost 9) double doubles 🐍🐐
He should have started since DAY ONE.
Kobe is the only player in NBA history to outscore all other players in the playoffs by at least 200 pts in consecutive seasons when he won back to back championships.
In the 09 playoffs he outscored Lebron by 201 pts and in the 2010 playoffs he outscored Paul Pierce by 220 pts.
“Shaq won FMVPs over Kobe”
Yes bc he had H2H matchups against guys who averaged less than 15ppg for the season.Yall see below exactly what happened when he went against a REAL threat.Without Kobe & without Kobe outperforming Both Tim Duncan & Shaq, these “FMVP” #s don’t exist
DID YOU KNOW?
That Lebron was CARRIED by a Bench Player named Daniel Gibson to the 2007 Finals who scored 31 points in the Game 6 of the ECF with 19 Points coming in the 4th Quarter
Meanwhile Lebron scored 21 points and only 3 points in the 4th Quarter
Jordan and Kobe NEVER had to get carried by a bench player to the Finals 😭😭
Funny how Kobe at 22 outplayed prime LeBron in the regular season and playoffs but bronsexuals say he was just a sidekick. So LeBron got outplayed by a sidekick? Got it. Their logic makes no sense, lets just line the numbers up head to head. Young Kobe was better than prime Bron.
