Kobe should have been named the Finals MVP in 2002. Especially his clutch plays (game 3 for example) and his shooting percentages were absolutely incredible!

[@xaviervega468]

Kobe had a great Finals, but Shaq had an even better one. Kobe ain't winning when Shaq averaged 36 on 67% shooting.

[@_1luljayyy]

He would’ve in any other series. 27, 6 and 6 on 51 percent shooting and 54 from 3 is an amazing finals. Also locking Kidd to just 43 percent. Let’s be honest in all of the three finals, Kobe was guarded the top players on the team while Shaq was being defended by old Demekme and Mccoulauglh and Keyon Martin. Of course he was gonna win it but when being defended by great centers like Hakeem, that’s when he got cooked

He had that MJ swag for real this game. Kobe was different. Jordan’s peak is the pinnacle and Kareem and now LeBron has an overall better/longer/ healthier career but as far as peak, there are about 10 players or so who if you had their best 13 years who would win you chips. I prefer Kobe. He had 3 years with no shot in his prime and still 7 Finals appearances and 5 wins. Shaq best year was 2000 and still Kobe had to take over late against Portland in the 7th game down double digits. And even hurt, pivotal game 4 in the Finals late play. I love Shaq but Kobe was different. It’s like how I loved Magic but I feared Larry more than anyone else. He was different

It took kobe 3 years into the league to start shaping up his game and we not going to even talk about passing compared to lbj. Lbj came came out rookie season killing shit. This shit cap and I fuck with kobe but we not going to cap on here

[@jamanwashington6426]

@Kwame Kimoko you right kobe had to come off the bench and play off another great instantly. Lebron james didn't have that luxury and still made it to the finals his fourth year with no superstar unlike kobe. During that 2007 run to the finals at 22. He beat gilbert arenas, Caron butler, Anthony Jamison, Hayward which were all stars first round. He beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, Richard jefferson in their primes second round. 3round he beat detriot. He just didn't top it off for the spurs. You right he passes but also scores and you see him take over games so we not going to cap on here especially clutch. For him to be a first pass guy, he is the all time leader in points in the playoffs and about to be the all time leading scorer in points in nba history 😆. First player to have 30k pts, 10k, rebounds, 10k assists, nobody in history right now have 10k points, 10krebounds, 10k assists in a career but luka might have something to say if longevity comes in play.

[@jamanwashington6426]

Those names have all stars and a couple hall of famers and lbj was a puppy running through they ass. You play who have to play. Kobe play top tier players as well along by shaq bud. Jason kidd, Vince Carter, kg, Paul pierce, Ray allen, rondo, kd, harden, Russell, steph curry, klay thompson, tim duncan and more😆 some of those guys were top 50 and hall of famers

[@jamanwashington6426]

@Kwame Kimoko lbj beat kidd too so we not going to act like kidd was trash. My point I was explaining lol. I don't hate bro I'm speaking facts. Kobe and shaq swept the nets with kidd, keyon Martin which was a all star. Kerry kittles which 6man of the year, mutombo which a former defensive player of the year. Lbj alone beat jason kidd, Vince Carter, rich jefferson. So I don't hate kobe I'm just speaking facts.

I was very fortunate to see the Lakers 3 peat in real time, I remember this sweep of the New Jersey Nets as if it was yesterday. I was 13 when this series was live. With that said, Kobe and Shaq were the best one two punch in Assocation history. MJ literally carried the Bulls in the 90s and Kobe and Shaq needed each other to win 3 in a row and go to 4 Finals appearances in 5 years. They went in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004 when they lost to the Detroit Pistons. No doubt Kobe should have won MVP honors for the 2002 NBA Finals against the NJ Nets.
