Kobe averaged 30 6 and 6 for the entire playoffs this year. On 47% shooting. Those aren’t getting carried numbers. Best player in the world at age 22.

💯casuals don’t realize this

[@Riles3152]

As a 15 year old, I remember this 01 Laker squad was playing at a historic playoff level, and I loved every moment of it. This was one of my favorite wins during that playoff run. Young Duncan playing out of his mind, the Spurs desperately not trying to drop a 2nd game at home, Phil Jackson getting ejected, and the Lakers STILL fighting back to finally pull away at the end. After this game, i knew this team was on a special run.

[@thatdudejojo9423]

Shaq said Kobe was the best player in the world in 2001 and he was right! And it stayed that way until about 2011 or 2012 FACTS.... Don't let these "analysts and experts" tell you otherwise!

[@melvynsngltn27]

@differentsame9402 that's the year opinion Sporting News had Michael Jordan as athlete of the century back in 2000. People from ESPN & TNT had Duncan and the Spurs winning championships in both 2000 & 2001 and Duncan not Shaq as league MVP

He would've been the 2001 Western Conference MVP if it was a thing back then.

[@fraantic]

"he's giving oponents the business" great damn i love that duo , greatest duo in history better than mj and pippen, if they had been together till 08 they would've won like 8 ringz

[@sportjames23]

They couldn't have been better than MJ and Pip if they only won 3 rings together and had the opportunity for more. Kobe and Shaq were some beasts, but I can't let you disrespect the GOAT and Pip, who dominated their era.

[@kevtn8]

Number of championships here is irrelevant in this argument. The fact iis Pippen isn't anywhere near the level of player Kobe or Shaq was. It was mostly Jordan and his supporting cast whereas with these Lakers you know it was mainly about Kobe and Shaq and the supporting cast. At this time, Kobe and Shaq was the most dominant duo in the history of basketball. Even Danny Ainge said it was as if Jordan and Wilt teamed up.

[@solidroadsinternational6522]

Magic & Kareem??

[@anntonnio1089]

Best duo than the triplets mj, pippen and that other dude, oh yeah rodman 😆😂🤣😅

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

"kobe isn't clutch he missed the most game winners" yet when his team was up 4 at 8:32 and he had the ball, he hit the dagger 3 to spread the lead to 7. Look at the spurs players. Kobe man

[@Gaviota84]

I was at this game. A true tour de force and in my opinion kobe introduction to the mega star level.

[@Mercurial.]

WHAT 😯 U were there woooow! How was the building and energy like excitement in there ?!

[@Gaviota84]

Oh man. It was at the Alamodome and it was sold out. Spurs were the 1 seed and lakers showed up and kicked our ass all over the court. To see the Phil jackson offense up close is a thing of beauty. That was a really special team.

[@BenniekdaReal]

This was the best team in NBA history as far as playoffs and Championship wise and the only team that came close was the ‘96 Bulls but I give this team the edge because of Shaq!

[@jamalabdelbaset6635]

“They’ll be alright without Phil.” -Danny Ainge You got that right!

[@IsaacMSingleton1]

I love when people talk about points or field goal percentages for today compared to this era. How would guys like luka, lebron, curry, kyrie, giannis, dame, harden, russ go at a defense like this spurs defense and dominate like Kobe did. Thats 2 elite 7 foot defensive bigs on 1 team, and Kobe is going to the paint and finishing any way he wants on them.

[@animeguitarguy]

Man Kobe was unreal in this playoff run. Team chemistry was perfect and Shaq was still unstoppable once he got the ball deep enough in the post.

[@leojenn87]

Different animal... Same beast...

[@eddienguyen3852]

I dont recall the last team swept spurs like this lakers 😳 this 2001 lakers year is superb i will take this KB and Shaq over any teams in nba history! This Kb version here is on par with MJ any version and he has more skills with youth

Im not sure what game Danny Ainge was watching but Antonio Daniels was getting SMOKED EVERY SINGLE TIME. 😅

[@ilijeganu273]

Kobe averaged 33-7-7 on 51 % fg shooting, this is called me being carried? Shaq was clearly the most dominate player, but that shouldnt diminish the way Kobe played. He had to shoot a lot and score in the 4th b/c Shaq was a terrible FT shooter

[@anthonynegron788]

@John Zada III he was in all 3 finals tho lol

[@imsljr420]

you're just looking at stats if you watched the whole series you would know Shaq carried Kobe.

[@imsljr420]

@John Zada III Kobe 33-7-7 on 51% shooting against d league caliber SG. who was Kobe facing in the west? the great Antonio Daniels? the legendary dereck Anderson? the HOFers jaren Jackson? how about vs kings? Doug Christie? really? that's great competition?

[@imsljr420]

@John Zada III so you think 19 points by the 2nd scorer on the team is good? because people from your camp (the Kobetards) are always complaining that " poor Kobe won by himself in 2010 vs Celtics because gasol only averaged like 19 points" but yet you're saying 19 points is good. actually 19 points by Antonio Daniels just makes Kobe look weak on defense because Daniels only averaged 7 points for his career but yet vs Kobe he averaged 19🤣🤣🤣🤣. and again going your camps logic Terry porter was pass his prime. how many points did Doug Christie average? Kobe got to relax on defense against Christie. Shaq went up against the twin towers while carrying Kobe.

[@imsljr420]

@John Zada III actually if your IQ wasn't so low you would know that that's the Kobetards logic. logic from your camp. you guys were the one's complaining that gasol only averaged 19 but now you're saying 19 by Daniels is great lol.

[@angelrosales336]

Shaq the big bro & Kobe the little bro, best 1-2 punch 🥊

[@Kevin-ug7yn]

Lakers lost 1 game this postseason run and that’s only because A.I. went off in game 1 of the finals. Besides that lucky game, they would’ve been the first team to go undefeated through the playoffs. Insane how close they were.
