Kobe has been great most playoffs but this is the wrong year to say that... game 7 of last year is still fresh in most people's minds

And it's a shame that people ignore what he did the rest of the series (and even that he had 15 rebounds in that last game) for that one last game.

But you can't deny that he did ultimately help his team win. It wasn't like the rest of the team was hot from the field either. He played pretty damn good defense that entire series as well.

of course he helped his team win

it was just shocking to see him play so far below his usual level. And the moment late in teh game when he was slumped underneath the basket was hard to believe.

I was just shocked to see him not look mentally strong at that point. To his credit he appeared to give Gasol a lot of credit for picking up the team in the win

I don't think Kobe is the player that Jordan is... but had he failed in that manner I don't know that Jordan's ego would have permitted the same admission or giving of credit to someone else

It's crazy how close the west was that season

1.Los Angeles Lakers (57–25, clinched Pacific Division title, and home court advantage for the Western Conference playoffs)
2.New Orleans Hornets (56–26, clinched Southwest Division title, winning conference record tiebreaker over Spurs)
3.San Antonio Spurs (56–26)
4.Utah Jazz (54–28, clinched Northwest Division title)
5.Houston Rockets (55–27, winning conference 6.record tiebreaker over Suns)
Phoenix Suns (55–27)

Hornets lost game 7 in New Orleans.

The difference is that D Rose is in 1st place in the east behind his lead. Where was CP?




1 game behind the Lakers for the #1 seed. So, if the Hornets win 1 more game, then Paul was more deserving?

My bad, for some reason i thought game 7 was at the spurs.

Shut Up

You have said Lebron isn't good in the playoffs before because he has a relatively bad game compared to his extraordinary games every now and then. He has constantly been on playoff teams without legit elite threats beside him.

You forget Kobe has played in the playoffs with Shaq, Gasol, Bynum, and Odom in their prime in the playoffs.

I would put Paul at the top because he is the best all around player. He can score from anywhere, make all the passes, and is probably the best defensive pg.

Paul
DWill
Rose
Westbrook
Nash
Rondo

1) Rose
2) Westbrook
3) Williams
4) Paul
5) Nash

This is the closest to my list in the last 3 pages.

What was your list?

I didn't do an exact list, basically had 3 mini tiers, lol.

Rose/Westbrook
Paul/Dwill
Nash/Rondo
