Kobe has more assists than field goal attempts in both of his last TWO games. In his previous 1,203 career games it happened just THREE times.

Yeah, I'm not shocked that Kobe had more shot attempts than assists.
I doubt many 2 guards that are scorers ever do.

I just don't buy this. The bottom line is Kobe has the ball in his hands A TON, regardless the coach or system. If he wanted to distribute, he's had ample opportunity. He believes in order for his team to win, he has to shoulder the load and score. Period. For some reason the last two games, he's decided to pass more, and he's done it very well. Even in his iso's, he's making a move then looking for a cutter instead of chucking. I'm assuming he came to the conclusion that status quo just wasn't working, so in order to flip the season, he needed to try something new. Kudos to him.

The Lakers don't win either of their two most recent championships without the huge playoff contributions of Pau Gasol.

Yeah, they cant really adjust to this when Nash is your sharp shooter. Double Kobe, and one of the bigs gets an easy basket or you foul him and fouling may be the way to go as Howard is terrible at free throws. Cant double with Who's on Ron, becuase he's spot up on the other side of the floor.
Again, he was doing this at the beg of the year when nash went down, but instead of Duhon/Morris open you now have STeve Nash who is arguably one of the best shooters the NBA has ever seen. Its gonna be tough. |

The idea that late game performance has no bearing on a player's performance is just laughable. Big Ben, Eli Manning, and Joe Montana are offended that you tthink their performances were forgettable because they didn't throw for 400 yards and 5 TDs. Jordan hit 3 game winners in 1989. The Lakers and Spurs have had teams that literally ran the table in the playoffs. Many others. Dirk had some unbelievable late game performances last year against elite competition. It's not a slight to say LeBron didn't play legendary. It is absolutely homerism to look at the average playoff schedule he played, the lack of clear defining late game moments, and the kind of legendary historical performances you're measuring him up against and suggest that it was one of the best of all time.
Again, it was a great performance and he should be proud of it. Legendary? No. Cue the part where you point to statistics that don't factor in the clear statistics showing that Miami played average in close games last playoff run. And the part where you call me butthurt because I acknowledge he played great but wouldn't classify it as "legendary." Quote:

Same can be said for the 2nd best player on literally any Championship team.
