Kobe Bryant Full Highlights vs 76ers 2001 Finals GM3 - 32 Pts, 6 Rebs

**Absolutely no copyright infringement is intended. All images, audio, and video clips are the sole property of their respective owners. This is for entertainment purposes only**
2001 NBA Finals Game 3, June 10, 2001 | In a game that the Lakers felt like they needed to win, Kobe was even more motivated as this was the first game of the series in which he would play in his childhood home Philadelphia. After a somewhat slow start, Kobe caught fire in the second quarter by hitting 8 straight shots while silencing the hostile Philly crowd. Kobe didn't shoot well in the second half but came up with a huge leaner late in the game moments after Shaq fouled out. After an enormous corner three by Robert Horry, the Lakers would pull away with a 96-91 victory. Kobe finished with 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.

@@Theterminato2013besides a shitty game 1 kobe played great this series

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

​​​@@Theterminato2013a few variables on Kobe playing "worse" vs sixers compared to spurs, the main reason was perimeter defense, the sixers had raja bell, an elite defender, whereas McDaniels was not at that level, plus mutombo down low is also 1 of the best shot blockers ever, some say the best. Then Kobe took a much larger defensive role in this series guarding the league MVP Allen Iverson, so he was expending alot of energy on the defensive end. Imagine chasing Iverson on defense and still scoring the buckets down the stretch for your team.

The actual series Shaq- 33 PPG (57% shooting), 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.4 blocks a game Kobe- 24.6 PPG (41.5% shooting), 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals There's a reason Shaq has 3 NBA Finals MVPs and Kobe has 2. Guards shooting 41% from the field and under 2 steals don't win championships unless they have one of the greatest rebounders in the game cleaning up their mess. Ask Iverson. Ask Melo. But for Shaq and Pau Gasol, Bryant is Iverson. And that ain't bad. But that ain't Jordan.

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

​@@ko7577Kobe was also going against raja bell, an elite on ball defender, and going to the hole against mutombo, so while stats are cute, they aren't the whole story. Kobe also took the role of guarding the league MVP and trying to be as good on defense as offense. I know you guys don't understand that, because players today only play defense the last 6 minutes of a game, but chasing iverson on 1 end, and also being the closer on the other is something 99.9 percent of players in history wouldn't be able to do.

lol Kobe Bryant has the lowest shooting percentage of anyone in the top 15 scorers or all time. He had to sink his teams to get his points. But for Shaq, this dude is a 2-ringer. As for Lebron, he's the #1 scorer of all-time and played in 10 NBA finals, won four rings, and shot 51% from the field for his career. And he didn't play with prime Jordan for his rings. He's the Finals MVP for ALL of his rings. Kobe was a little man for three of his. This series: Shaq- 33 points (57% shooting), 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.4 blocks a game Kobe- 24.6 PPG (41.5% shooting), 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals And this series?

These were the actual stats for this series: Shaq- 33 points (57% shooting), 15.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.4 blocks a game Kobe- 24.6 PPG (41.5% shooting), 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals I think there are a lot of homosexual men out there who had a crush on Kobe back in the day. Guards shooting 41% don't win championships unless they're a Pippen. You've got a center with almost as many assists as the guard blocking 3.4 shots a game and nailing 57% of his shots from the field. I won't even go into the 15.8 rebounds he got because Kobe kept bricking everything. The Detroit series was even worse, Bryant shot 38% and took 40 more shots than the guy nailing 63% of his shots. But homos prefer Kobe. And maybe you missed the announcer's "Kobe only had 15 last game, Shaq had 44." lol

[@ceciladams4882]

Kobe's game is so beautifully flawed. He lacks Jordan's quick first step and LeBron's bionic power. So he often has to rely on multiple moves just to get to the basket. This results in fantastic display of skills and body control. But also leads him to be less efficient, for if all of his options are closed out he can't jump and bully people to the paint like Jordan and LeBron. I think that's his biggest difference between the legends. He's not as physically gifted. Jordan and LeBron has their hops and power, Kareem and Wilt are enormous, Shaq is so physically dominant, KD is so tall he can just shoot over everyone. That's why I have a heightened level of respect for Kobe and Curry. They're literally unicorns of the game. Nothing physically special about them but they make up for it with skills.

[@garthyahudahandrews8504]

[@bookieallen7448]

Shaq was resting defense that's why his finals was great he didn't have to guard nobody

[@ko7577]

Kobe didn't even shoot 44%. It was 41.5%. Thank you for putting up the reality of those three rings. There's always a Pippen. There's always a Jordan. In those first three runs, Shaq was the Jordan. Guards shooting 41% from the field don't win championships unless they're playing with something really, really big. If Kobe had gone to Charlotte and a smaller market, he'd have been a Melo.

[@belak1551]

Kobe averaged 33 ppg 7 assist and 6 rebounds vs the spurs in the western conference finals. 35 ppg 5 and 5 vs the Kings in the Semi finals. Both teams were better than the 76ers this year. So who carried who?
