Numbers don't line up, and they obviously came in before everything was done and over.
Since Kirby piggy back rode Shaq in every playoffs like you claim

Didn't know they didn't line up, but those stats are very similar.
Kobe scored 471 points (16 less points total) on .469 shooting and only took 358 shots
Shaq scored 486 points on .555 shooting on 344 shots
That's a very respectful difference between a guard and a center as far as FG % goes.
Yeah, we know Kobe chucks.
How about these facts:

What a ty come back...goes straight with the defer
Kobe Bryant, in reality, wasn’t as big as a factor with the Lakers during their championship runs as perception makes it seem.
If you took Shaq off the Lakers during their le runs, the Lakers wouldn’t be guaranteed to make the playoffs. When O’Neal was injured during his three peat, the Lakers had a regular-season record of 12-11 (.5217%).
When Kobe was injured, the Lakers regular season record was 25-7 (.78%). Interestingly, the Lakers’ entire regular-season record during their three-peats was 181-65 (.735%), which is a lower record than when Kobe wasn’t playing. The Lakers therefore actually had a better record when Kobe wasn’t playing.
In year 2000, during the regular season, Bryant averaged almost 29 points and five assists per game. How did these stats translate over to the NBA Finals? They lowered to 15 points and four assists per game.
Shaquille O’Neal, on the other hand, raised his scoring average, from 28 in the regular season to 38 in the finals.
In 2001, the Lakers once again won the NBA Finals. Kobe’s scoring average dropped in the clutch once again, forcing O’Neal to step up his scoring from 27 per game in the regular season to 33 in the finals.
In 2002, For the third straight year, Kobe’s scoring and assists declined in the series and O’Neal of course stepped it up in the finals.
"But, but, Kirby was food poisoned from 2002-2009!"
