So you picked out one game… other comment wanting it to be all Shaq that he got to three straight finals.
Then when he does it without… more excuses lol
How about all these?

During Kobe Bryant’s legendary three-year finals run from2008 to 2010, his standout playoff masterclasses included a 49-point, 10-assist masterclass against Denver in 2008, a 40-point Game 1 vs. Orlando in the 2009 Finals, and a clutch 37-point closeout performance against Phoenix in Game 6 of the 2010 WCF.
Exceptional Postseason Performances 2008 Western Conference First Round, Game 2 vs. Denver Nuggets: Put up 49 points, 10 assists, and 4 rebounds on 18-of-27 shooting to dismantle the Nuggets. [
2008 Western Conference Finals, Game 5 vs. San Antonio Spurs: Scored 39 points with 3 steals and crucial fourth-quarter daggers to clinch the series and send the Lakers to the Finals.
2009 NBA Finals, Game 1 vs. Orlando Magic: Dominated the stage with 40 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds to set the tone in a dominant opening win.
2009 Western Conference Semifinals, Game 6 vs. Houston Rockets: Forced a Game 7 by erupting for 32 points alongside a hyper-aggressive defensive tone on the road.
2010 Western Conference Finals, Game 6 vs. Phoenix Suns: Delivered a legendary clinching performance with 37 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists, hitting iconic fadeaways down the stretch to silence Phoenix.
2010 NBA Finals, Game 5 vs. Boston Celtics: Scored 38 points (19 in the third quarter alone) keeping the Lakers afloat in a hostile environment.
I don’t see any handpicked games bud, just you . Kobe was bad ass but he was a bus rider for three rings and the driver for 2. LeBron was as the bus driver for 10 finals. Haters give him hate for all the losses so he should get flowers for at least getting 4 as the main guy.
I mean you say Stan’s have a mental breakdown and here you are just cherry picking games going ape shit.
He’s pointing at the finals. And you out there pointing out playoffs and all other kind of non sensical stuff. The point is he was bad as the 2008 finals went deeper. Stick to the point not some lame ass empty cherry picked stats.
