You have a heavy bias against things that challenge Kobe's position in the history of the game. You'll deny it, of course, but it's evident by your responses. I doubt you've ever said Kobe turned at any point in his career. You'll do so now just to say you did.
Also, why do you say "if they won"? his performance didn't change, win or lose. How is his position lessened if his team loses since he was playing alongside scrubs? If his performance dropped and that led to the loss, ok.. but he got more Finals MVP votes than Curry got.
