Lakers: Kobe the leader: How he performed in elimination games since 2005.

How so? If Understanding, then using something you don't understand is re ed, what does that make you?

Clyde Drexler had a higher WS in the Playoffs than Hakeem in 1995. 1995 Hakeem was one of the best Playoff runs of alltime too. Sorry, but that makes WS garbage. And mind telling me what WS is btw? I doubt you got it memorized.

Actually, you have a point. The advanced numbers are telling me Gasol was clearly better than him in 2010. 2009 is Kobe's only real le as the best player on his team. Though I wouldn't call that much of an accomplishment considering how weak the compe ion was that year(lol Nuggets, lol Magic)

Lets not forget 2001 Playoffs. Kobe 3.8, Shaq 3.7

A. Drexler's run in 1995 was crucial to how well the Rockets did. Sure Hakeem was dominant, but Drexler was no slouch either, averaging 20.5 p, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1.5 steals for the playoffs. In fact, the offense flow of the Rockets, as he had an offense rating of 120 (which is phenomenal).

B. Why do I have to memorize something to use it. Do you have to memorize the sine/cosine tables to use them? Do you have to memorize how your computer processor works to use a computer? Do you have to memorize the workings of a combustion engine to fly a car? Do you have to understand assembly language to use a web browser?

Of course, the original premise has always been using regular season WS to find the lead, because regular season has more variation, and less opponent specific strategies. I have covered that off clearly in the WS share that caused all types of butt hurt from Laker fans (I apologize for it, because I never realized how sensitive Laker fans are towards anything that is remotely considered as insulting to their Kobe god, and how I exposed the inability for Laker fans to argue as I haven't heard one single rebuttal to the use of those numbers).

This also applies to the Drexler/Hakeem situation in 95.

I give Kobe credit for getting those rebounds in game 7 against Boston.

But other than that, dude s himself in big moments time and time again.
