He hasn't had a really spectacular one, but to fair during the Shaq era it wasn't even needed. The East was a joke back then, and Kobe also was very young. But his two best series I would argue were the 01 and 2010 WCF against the Spurs and Suns.
I don't think I've read a Daddy of all Trolls post in God it has to have been years...
Maybe since 2009. Was he even posting then? Eh whatever.

Shaq regularly commanded triple teams in his prime, in the triangle, it was easy for Kobe to get points and higher FG%'s. It's no that Kobe isn't a very talented player and one of the best SG's to play the game, but he typically got stopped by solid wing defenders.
The only time Kobe had a good finals it was against Orlando in 2009, they were terrible defending the perimeter. Other that it was a good game here and there, but overall very weak for an all time great. Kobe's an really good player, he sometimes shot really great, he has energy to take many shots, but he's not a top 10 all time player. Top 10 players dominate in playoffs or finals.
It's not all about regular season scoring. Even there, Kobe has only 1 MVP award.
2011 Finals
The Goods. tbh thats one of a number of reasons I feel people underrate those late 90s Bulls teams. Kerr was shooting like 50% from three those years. You can't underrate how unstoppable that makes a team with two top superstars on it become. You literally are dead if you leave a guy like that open. Like he'll shoot 60-70% on wide open threes.
