if/when Kobe goes 0 for 2 in the finals

[fevertrees]

will Laker fans finally admit that he simply cannot win the big dance without Shaq there to hold his hand EVERY step of the way? I find it funny how the media obsesses over his 40 point performance in game 1, yet they never mention the fact that the only reason he scored those 40 points is because of his selfishness. he had to shoot the ball 34 times!!!! and shot a pathetic 40-45%.

The real question is what are you going to do if he wins?

... yet they never mention the fact that the only reason he scored those 40 points is because of his selfishness.

With a game high 8 assists. Bad troll, bad troll.

16/34 = 47.1%

Great math bait.

It's over already, accept it and move on, Kobe is in all likelihood going to win one without Shaq this year. If you thought like I did that he couldn't win one as the #1 player on his team, admit you were wrong and move on.

lol 121-63

Kobe's 1st game was great. Also the 16/34 doesn't do justice because he went 1 for his last 7 when the game was already decided.

He "basically" went 15/27 when the game was up for grabs.
