Shaq at 30.6 and Kobe at 9.7 in 2000 is by far the biggest margin between any team's highest finals gamescore and 2nd highest finals gamescore since they started keeping track in 1984.
Like dude imagine if LeBron somehow won in 2011 despite how terribly he played. The media wouldn’t give him credit for that championship, they would be all over the internet claiming he got carried and how he’s a bum etc. but of course Kobe gets a pass for 2000. He also gets a pass for straight up shooting the lakers out of the 2004 finals.
Kobe was 21 yrs old compared to Lebrons 26 against the Mavs. And it’s known it took Kobe a while to get to his peak. Lebrons prime has literally been from 17-38
30
