biased reffing as in calling OBVIOUS fouls?
Pathetic performance by him last night.
I was always a huge supporter of Kobe despite my hate for the Lakers, but if it wasn't for the all biased reffing in the fourth quarter last night, everyone would be talking about Kobe being one of the biggest Finals chokers of all time.
What a joke
biased reffing as in calling OBVIOUS fouls?
You seem a bit mad for someone who not a fan of either team who played in the finals.
What's up?
Not mad, more surprised at Kobe.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, but seriously wtf was that in a Game 7?
Hey bro, let me put your mind at ease:
Kobe finals MVP + 5th ring.
There, feel better?
he shot bad, but i give him props for keeping up the defense and rebounding..15 rebounds!
Shooting 25% from the field in a Finals Game 7.
awwww...25% and finals MVP...kobe is sad.Shooting 25% from the field in a Finals Game 7.
Game 6 of the 1996 NBA Finals. I'm going to keep posting that until some of you numbskulls actually look it up.
Luc Longley and Dennis Rodman would like a re-vote on the 1996 NBA Finals MVP.
Okay...? So Jordan would have 1 less finals MVP, but still have 3 more than Kobe and 1 more ring, as well as 4 more regular season MVPs? LOL.
By the way, he played great over the series. He definitely is the Finals MVP but come on, no one on Boston really stood out and despite them constantly choking they still took the Lakers to within 4 points in Game 7 without Perkins. I am merely laughing at his choke job here in Game 7. I mean really, 6-24?
15 rebounds? Great defense? That dont count?
Great defense?
they held the celtics to 79 and locked them down at the 4th..so yah,...ill say great defense.
Testify, MACHINE, testify!!!!!!!!!
I got all day.
lol kobe flatterers
He sucked at shooting. But that's about it.
It was funny how the crowd stopped chanting MVP for Kobe in the middle of the game. As if it was going to rattle the poor guy even more lol. He is clutch in regular season games and is a very efficient player, but in the most dire of situations he cowers and folds. Getting bailed out by everyone elses clutch shooting when it matters. When everything is truly on the line he hardly ever steps up.
Last night he got bailed out by his team, his coach, an injured perkins, and home court advantage.
Congratulations to the Lakers though.
MJ was also 33 years old, two years older than 2010 Kobe. For the overall 1996 playoffs run, MJ averaged a 26.7 PER which Kobe only has exceeded once in his career.
So now we add qualifiers? Jordan also took 18 months off from basketball and didn't have the wear and tear Kobe had for these playoffs, let alone the finger and knee injuries Kobe is suffering from.
While I do defend Kobe a lot, I'm not going to simply stroke him off. Kobe shot horribly from the field last night. If the Finals MVP was based on game 7 and game 7 only, I wouldn't have given it to Kobe, despite the fact he actually played a pretty good game other than shooting. I'd probably give it to Artest. Artest made the most positive impact on the game last night for the Lakers.
But, what I challenge are Kobe haters who hate on Kobe for no other reason but simply to hate on Kobe. Kobe was by and far the biggest reason the Lakers were even in position to play in a game 7 after what happened in games 4 and 5 in Boston. And his overall Finals series as well as playoffs this year was incredible, game 7 aside.
Kobe's defense was great last night, sure he had a stinking shooting game, but his 15 rebounds ( 5x more than Garnett) was huge for a team missing Andrew Bynum's presence. Its most certainly one of the reasons why the Lakers won that game.
Again, the owner of this 28.6 PPG 8 RPG 4 APG 2 SPG average and I think the highest TS% among all players in the Finals truly deserves his MVP. There's simply no one out there who deserves it more.
no offense taken...thats the strategy and he did well implementing it right?
MJ probably had nagging injuries as well but yea thats true. Still its worth noting that MJ was two years older than Kobe when you're trying to compare their stats like that as is pointing out Jordan's baseball "career". Pretty incredible that a guy like Jordan was able to have such a high PER throughout his career and just an overall efficient game even into the 30's.
Kobe is undoubtedly a top 10 GOAT and the Lakers playoffs/Finals MVP. No question. However it when you start bringing in MJ is when you'll find arguments.While I do defend Kobe a lot, I'm not going to simply stroke him off. Kobe shot horribly from the field last night.
