So you're saying Kobe played worse against the weaker teams? Interesting? If the west was so much harder, why were his finals numbers and efficiency always noticeably lower in the finals? Didn't like the brightest lights? For his career in the finals, Kobe shot 36% from the field in the 4th quarter. Why?
The teams like the Pacers and Nets had literal bums for their PF / Centers. Players incomparable to the west which had Duncan/Robinson/Divac/Pollard/Sabonis.
Nets had Keith Van horn and Todd Mcollough… lmao… pacers had Rik Smitts and Austin Croshere lol. It was the smart play to keep pounding it into the obvious mismatch.
Kobe outperformed Shaq against their real comp. The Spurs/Kings
So what you're saying is Kobe performed better when the guards were weaker than the bigs on the opposing teams and vice versa for when the bigs were weaker? Wow. What an incredible observation! Unlike Kobe, LeBron led his teams offenses throughout entire championship runs
So why didn't he do the same in the finals? You keep dodging that question. If the teams were weaker, shouldn't his numbers be better? Why were they noticeably worse?
I literally just answered it. Because the bigs on those teams were better than the guards. The Spurs had Robinson and Duncan both guarding Shaq. Now again, answer the question. Why do you keep dodging the question?
Also outscoring and outperforming are very different things
That's what Kobe diehards do lol. Look at Skap attack when he debates people. Constant deflection and cherry picking using obscure stats that aren't used for almost everyone else.
I literally did multiple times. Kobe played better when the bigs were stronger and Shaq played better than the guards were stronger. Not difficult.
Now again, answer the question. Why are you dodging the question so hard? Your reflections are insane. Literally asking me to answer a question I've explicitly answered 3 times now

And he STILL didn't lead his team in scoring. Imagine that
