Kobe is 4-8 careerwise in playoff wins as the main man.
and this guy is supposed to be a top tier player?
Lebron can't lead, though. Plays like Jordan vs the Bulls and plays like Walton vs the Mavs.
Lebron and Kobe both led their team to the NBA Finals without an All-NBA Teammate or All-Star
Leadership counts the most in the final series. I don't like either of them, but Kobe at least can say he kinda lead a team through the finals twice. LBJ is getting older, still ringless and is 2nd banana on his team atm.
kinda led his team?
Those 6 last second shots/victories by Kobe during the '09 regular season made it certain that when Pierce backed away & Artest rose up, and Vuj marched to the ft line it all took place on California soil.
Yeah, kinda.

He wasn't this happy since he got the Faber girl to yelp "uncle."
It was a great night. I slept on the couch (per the usual), and just kept wakin' up every 15 minutes or so thru the night basking in it.
Did you bask in this?
Game 7 turned out to be a classic World Series seventh game with the Marlins capturing the Crown. Cleveland drew first blood in this game when in the third inning, starter Al Leiter allowed a walk to Jim Thome and a hit by Marquis Grissom. A sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third and with two outs Tony Fernández laced a two-run single to center. Indians starter Jaret Wright was dominant for six innings, holding the 2–0 lead. But in the seventh, Bobby Bonilla blasted a anic home run from Wright cutting the lead to 2–1. The Indians blew a golden chance for insurance in the top of the ninth, when with one out and Alomar on third, Grissom grounded to short. With the infield drawn in, shortstop Edgar Rentería fired home to catcher Charles Johnson who tagged out Alomar trying to score. In the bottom of the ninth, Jose Mesa was brought in to close out the series and bring Cleveland its first le since 1948. Moisés Alou led off the inning with a single. With one out, Charles Johnson lined a single to right that advanced Alou to third base. Then, Craig Counsell hit a sacrifice fly to right that tied the score at two, sending the contest into extra frames.
The bottom of the eleventh began with a leadoff single by Bobby Bonilla off Game 3 starter Charles Nagy. Gregg Zaun lined to Nagy after two failed bunt attempts for the first out, and Bonilla was able to beat the throw back to first. Counsell then hit a roller between first and second. Fernandez moved in and to his left to field the ball, but it skipped under his glove for an error. As the ball headed for right field, Bonilla scampered to third. A necessary intentional walk filled the bases with one out. Devon White then hit into a fielder's choice, forcing Bonilla out at home for the second out of the inning. The next batter was Edgar Rentería, who had come through all season long for Florida in clutch situations, notching five walk-off hits in extra-innings situations. With the count at 0–1, Renteria lined a Nagy slider over the pitcher's head. The ball appeared to graze off Nagy's outstretched glove before bouncing past second baseman Fernandez into center field for a hit. Counsell charged to home plate with both fists raised in the air as the Marlins won the Series and the Championship.
After Game 7, the trophy presentation, usually taking place in the winning team's locker room regardless of venue, took place on the field before the crowd of 67,204. It was presided over by then-Chairman of the Executive Committee Bud Selig, who first did the honors in 1995 and would officially become Commissioner of Baseball in 1998. This is now a standard procedure whenever the champions are the home team of the deciding game (the only exception being 1999 when the New York Yankees chose to celebrate in their locker room).
Of course TD wouldnt have won without Manu
But he was still the man
So what's your point?
2005, Manu was the man, e ally in the finals
2007, Duncan was man in first 3 rounds, Parker was the best player in the finals
Lol omfg
literally
Kobe: 5
tired old bag Duncan: 4
