[@S3thduckyquackmoo]

Imagine being Sasha Vujacic and having to take those 2 free throws, in the last minute of Game 7 of the NBA finals. Nerves of steel.

[@jhaz89]

For real. He had to be on fuckin cloud 9 after making those. You'd feel like the biggest bad ass ever, hahaha. Even if you sucked ass the rest of your career, you'd always have that in your back pocket. So Sasha what is the most valuable thing in your life? Well obviously making those free throws. So that's more valuable to you than your wife and kids? Oh, one HUUNDRED percent

Kobe Bryant won his fifth and final ring at the perfect time. Winning against the Celtics, at Staples Center, game 7, leaving the 2000s on top and leading the NBA into the 2010s and passing the torch to LeBron. And having the perfect final game, at home, 60 points vs Jazz, still showing his desire to be better than Michael Jordan, 60 points meaning 6-0 in the Finals vs also against the Jazz. Both hit game winners vs Jazz. He was just incredible at what he did.

For all the people saying "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP" just because his shot was cold in Game 7 completely ignore the fact that no one really shot well that game (look it up), his index finger was injured, and he also impacted the game in other ways like defense, rebounding and getting to the foul line. And it's called "Finals MVP," not Game 7 MVP. Before Game 7, Kobe was shooting 43.2% from the field, 37.5% from 3, and 93.3% from the line. That's great efficiency playing against great defense in the NBA Finals against a team with arguably 4 All Stars. I'm also not even including his great averages when it comes to points, rebounds, steals, assists, etc...

Man remember when he got drafted and traded to the Lake Show….97 vs the Jazz….to Shaq….then the rebuild….the grind…then Gasol Odom Artest Ariza….Lol Phil fkn Jackson……first 3 were awesome, the last two were truly earned….special time and place…

[@kufmh7203]

I'm a celtics fan but damn, what a great series and even though there's a rivalry between us, I really like the lakers and I'm hoping for a rematch in the finals soon. Lakers vs Celtics, greatest rivalry of all time!

[@IAMATRUEBEAST101]

This comment is for ALL the idiots who say "Kobe didn't deserve Finals MVP." Kobe's averages in the 2010 NBA Finals up until Game 7: • 30 Points Per Game • 7 Rebounds Per Game • 4.2 Assists Per Game • 2.5 Steals Per Game • 1 Block Per Game • 44% FG% • 37% 3P% • 93% FT% And most people that try to discredit his Game 7 performance don't even realize that he still played great defense, GOT 15 REBOUNDS AS A SHOOTING GUARD, and got to the line plenty while being very clutch and efficient. Kobe knew his shoot wasn't falling, so he used his diverse skillset and basketball I.Q to impact the game in other ways to help his team win, that's called greatness! And on top of that, EVERYONE on both teams shoot poorly in Game 7. And in addition, Kobe also had a fractured finger on his shooting hand. I find it funny how all haters can say is "Kobe shot 6-24" without acknowledging or mentioning ANY of these facts. In short, people should do their research and learn a thing or two about the game of basketball before trying to diminish Kobe's greatness in the 2010 Finals.

[@tomasgonzalez7604]

GTFOH Kobe shot 6-24 and grabbed 15 rebounds almost all defensive ones while gasol shot 6-16 and grabbed 18 rebounds (9 offensive). What i want to say with this is that kobe wasn't alone. He had gasol (hof lock), shooters like artest and odom, a x-factor like fisher and the most important one... Vujacic. (Kobe deserved the FMVP)

[@dodgerblue9538]
