in a regular game? probably, in the finals really doubt it. Who did it?
Not trying to troll here, but if you really want to call a basketball player "great", he should be showing up in the greatest basketball game of his career.
Aside from Kobe Bryant, is there any other future HOF player who shot 6/24 from the field in Game 7 of the NBA Finals? Just asking
in a regular game? probably, in the finals really doubt it. Who did it?
Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4
tee, hee.
hahahahahahaha
Is is what it is . No escaping that . 6/24 will be forever written in the history books.
Correct... written clearly as #5.
pretty sure when you look in his trophy case.... you're gonna see 5
edit: for now

There's a reason why there are no movies where Robin is the main man. Once a Robin, always a Robin, thus:
4>2
2 Regular Season MVPs> 1
3 Finals MVP> 1
tee,hee
You can have all the MVP's, scoring les, NBA offensive and defensive teams, 6th man awards, most improved, all star appearances etc etc etc
All trinkets and forum/media fodder.
There is and always has been only one goal....
I'll take the les!
So Horry>Kobe
Go ahead and take your les
That's all fine and good, but we're talking about individual performances and accomplishments here. Rings are a team accomplishment.You can have all the MVP's, scoring les, NBA offensive and defensive teams, 6th man awards, most improved, all star appearances etc etc etc

I'll take the les!
And as far as the individual is concerned, Kobe has the same amount of mediocre Finals performances as he does rings, the Lakers winning in spite of him more often than because of him.
all good by me..... I don't simply look at shooting % either.
We have 5 les during Kobe's reign and he's been a major contributor to all.
You see, if I was a fan for the team with the best record in the NBA and I was confident my team really was all that, I wouldn't feel the need to rehash the same ole same weak ass as one players shooting % in last years game when said players team won it all as if it diminishes anything.
Actually a player by the name of Michael Jordan vs the Sonics in game 4 (up 3-0 in an elimination game shot 6/19...lost the game. In game 5 he shot 50% in a loss. In game 6 a V for the Bulls he shot 5/19. Props to him having 9 boards and 7 assists though. Dominiating performance though.....
See, it's fun cherry picking games.
Percentage-wise 6/19 and 5-19> 6/24. Let's break it down, :
6/24= 25 percent
6/19= 32 percent
5/19= 26 percent
Both of Jordan's worst games are still better than Kobe's best effort in the Finals
Kobe>Jordan
Hey bro, just posting stats, just like you. It's easy, anyone can do it.Percentage-wise 6/19 and 5-19> 6/24. Let's break it down, :
6/24= 25 percent
6/19= 32 percent
5/19= 26 percent
Both of Jordan's worst games are still better than Kobe's best effort in the Finals
So you got Kobe on 1%, yes that's better...good for you. Man, you have to be the biggest tool next to HH and Midnight on this board. Good work.
While we're at it, Kobe's 6/24 is not at all an aberration. In fact, it's a ing norm for him. Why? Let's break it down:
On June 16,2000
Kobe went 4/20to finish eight points against the Pacers in Game 5 of the 2000 Finals

Good thing Shaq and the rest of the Lakers were there to save his sorry ass.
On June 16,2001
Kobe went 7 for 22 to finish a grand total of 15 points against the 76ers. Interestingly enough, Shaq erupted for 44 and 20 to save Robin's ass once again.

On June 5,2008
Seven years later, Kobe wanted to prove to everyone that he can win without Shaq. Unfortunately, he was up against the Boston Celtics and in Game 1 of that year's NBA Finals, Kobe bricked his way to a 9/26 shooting clip to help his team loose.

On June 17,2008
This date would probably go down as the most hated in Lakers history. One game away from their first championship in 22 years, the Celtics bukkaked the Lakers by 39 points.
Kobe finished with 22 points, 7/22 from the field.

There you have it folks, a history of chucking from Black Mamba himself
Not hating Med, numbers simply tell the truth.
Tim Duncan, 2005 NBA finals, game 7:
10-27......damnnnnnn
Shut up! At least it's not 25 percent
yeap, at least it's not 7/20, 7/22, or 6/24. Nothing beats the Mamba when it comes to bricking in the Finals.Shut up! At least it's not 25 percent
I'd think a post player shooting 37% is worse than a perimeter player shooting 25%...
I'll agree that both are chokers though
Numbers don't lieI'd think a post player shooting 37% is worse than a perimeter player shooting 25%...

Yep just bricked his way to back to back finals MVP's which you guys seem to cherrish so much. Oh let me guess. Kobe's not deserving of his and the only ones that really count are the ones he didnt win. How old are you? You must be in your teens.
Im sure Shaq, Timmy, and MJ were just sooooo giddy after game 7 waching Kobe ring again thinking... yeah what a bummer, he had a poor shooting % in game 7 after completing a spectacular playoff run so that one doesn't count.
But hey.... you keep thinking that 6-24 tarnishes the le if it makes you feel more comfy.
