these were the averages
Kobe - 26/5/5/3/0
Peirce - 22/5/6/1/0
Peirce kicked Kobe's ass?
lol
and Kobe has the most gamewinners of alltime, so yes clutch
Why are you afraid to post their FG% in the top stat line?

43 to 41
lmcontrollinao!!!
AZ Central, or, here.
tee, hee.
Should I care what that refers to?
Those stats are only moderately close because Kobe's meaningless game 3 was far superior to Pierce's, therefore skewing the results and making their respective performances seem close, when in fact, they weren't. In all the other games, Kobe was outplayed. Do you deny this?
And lol at most game winners. If you have the most attempts at something, there's a good chance you might also have the most "success" at it.
The statistical evidence says he's not.
Somebody say 39?
How did Duncan go 3-14 (21%) in a must-win when he's shooting right at the rim?
So Lakers weren't even trying and they put 39 on the Spurs? Damn.Game 3 was irrelevant, as most game 3s are for the team who goes up 2-0.
Should Kobe have given Paul Pierce his MVP after the '08 Finals?
Bad shooting night. It happens. You should be quite familiar with the concept after watching Kobe Bryant all these years.![]()
Difference is his teammates bail him out and he gets all the glory.
To his credit, Kobe was pretty good in '01. Any star perimeter player should be when you have Danny Ferry, Steve Smith, and Terry Porter d-ing you up.
lol you might be mentally impaired
3-14 for a big man though? At least guards are shooting from distance, this is literally under the rim bricking his team into 39. Thats like 3-40 from a guard
swept in his prime
irrelevant game
7-footer going 3-14
No it's not, actually, but nice try
And 3-14 was only one game. It was ty, sure, but still, only a single game. On the other hand, Kobe's been known to shoot similar to that in a series.
And why are you laughing at Duncan getting swept? Last I checked, Kobe leads Duncan in that department, 3 to 2. That's another stat you should be very familiar with, considering it's identical to the number of Finals MVPs both players have.
Last time I checked Kobe leads Duncan in championships 5 to 4
and Duncan leads Kobe in losing a playoff series with HCA 5 to 2
Team accomplishments. Try to keep up and actually cite stats that are relevant to individual player comparisons.
Havlicek leads Kobe 8 to 5 in rings.
And lol at the meaningless HCA stat.
stats? kobes numbers > duncans
Yeah if you wanna talk player vs. player we have to go on individual success where Tim s all over Kobe, lol @ 1 more ring when 3 of those are Shaq's

As far as individual success goes, Duncan has more MVPs and Finals MVPs than Kobe Bryant, more playoff appearances, the only player in history to win at least 2 les without an All-NBA player in that season, and the only player to be selected to All-NBA and All-Defense in his first 13 seasons.

#3 Finals performance ever. Where's Kobe? At #15 with his best while Merlin has two in the top 11.
Not even close, kid.
There really isn’t any diplomatic way to this: Tim Duncan’s playoff performances essentially run circles over Kobe Bryant’s. Indeed, the Big Fundamental has five postseason performances that surpass Kobe Bryant’s best playoff run (2001-02, 2005-06, 2002-03, 2006-07, 2008-09) and also several other notable playoff performances. It’s not by accident that fans and people in the media shower Duncan with praise and peg him as the best power forward of all time; he has had an exceptional career.

Stop looking at only PPG. Five overall statistically better performances than Kobe's best one, but Kobe's numbers>Duncan?![]()
