Should Kobe have given Paul Pierce his MVP after the '08 Finals?

[midnightpulp]

Here's how they matched up in the relevant games in that series:

Game 1:

Pierce - 22 points on 70%

Bryant - 24 points on 35%

Game 2:

Bryant - 30 points on 48%

Pierce - 28 points on 56%

Game 4 (by far the most important game in the series):

Bryant - 17 points on 32%

Pierce - 20 points on 46%

Game - 5

Bryant - 25 points on 38%

Pierce - 38 points on 46%

Game - 6 (the legendary 39)

Bryant - 22 points on 32% with 1 assist

Pierce - 17 points on 30% but had 10 assists to Bryant's 1.

If "The Mamba" had any honor, he would've walked over to Pierce and handed his MVP trophy to the man who completely outplayed him. Would've been the right thing to do.

Kobe - 26/5/5/3/0
Peirce - 22/5/6/1/0

The answer is no

[Deuce Bigalow]

and lol at your agenda, where's game 3?

here it is, game 3

Kobe - 36/7/1, 60%FG
Peirce - 6/6/3, 14%FG

Game 3 was irrelevant, as most game 3s are for the team who goes up 2-0. When there was a chance to tie up the series, Kobe went into choke mode (as he often does when the pressure is actually on).

[Koolaid_Man]

just like that 99 ring was irrelevant

[AaronY]

This is like Romper Room.

[Giuseppe]

Artest,,,makin' Pierce flinch.

tee, hee.

Or, 8.

Lol at posting highlights from Game 5 as an example, a game where Kobe, once again, got outplayed by Paul Pierce.

So Kobe outplayed Pierce in one in' game. Big deal. Paul Pierce beat down that ass in every other game.

And he does choke. His stats in playoff close out games (on either side, whether the Lakers are on the verge of closing out or being closed out) are terrible.

Also, he shoots 30% on game winners. It was 25% (3 percent below the league average) before that lucky streak in '10.

So in' clutch.
