Well that's an exaggeration. I wouldn't say that seeing as Lebron admitted Kobe was a better player and was amazed by him in 2008. Does that mean Shaq was way way better than him as well? Let's respect great players.

But Shaq was much better than Kobe in all those finals, Shaq and MJ are the the GOAT finals performers imo, Kobe has actually been pretty subpar in the finals for his career, i respect all those great players just stating what i saw

LeBron May Be The Most Clutch Playoff Shooter Of His Generation

Relative to the league-wide average, James generated 4.8 more total points than expected on his go-ahead shots, which translates to about one entire playoff win beyond what an average shooter would have contributed from the same field-goal distances. And those numbers become magnified when you consider that James’s average go-ahead shot came in a playoff game with championship implications 34 percent greater than the typical postseason contest. After we weight by the leverage of his specific game-winning shot attempts, James generated the equivalent3 of 8.5 more points than expected, or roughly two playoff wins above average, with his clutch end-of-game shooting alone.

(By contrast, Bryant generated 3.2 fewer points than expected and did it in games that were about 64 percent more important than the average playoff game, compounding the damage of his 1-for-10 performance.)

I'm getting tired of doing this but here goes again:

2001 playoffs
kobe: 29.4 ppg, 7.3 rebs, 6.1 apg
shaq: 30.4 ppg, 15.4 rebs, 3 apg

2002 playoffs
kobe: 26.6 ppg, 5.4 rebs, 4.6 apg
shaq: 28.5 ppg, 12.6 rebs

2003 playoffs
kobe: 32.1 ppg, 5.1 rebs, 5.2 apg
shaq: 27 ppg, 14.8 rebs

2004 playoffs
kobe: 24.5 ppg, 4.7 rebs, 5.5 apg
shaq: 21.5 ppg, 13.2 rebs

oh yeah bro, shaq was MILES BETTER

Here's a stat for you: only one of these guys came back from 3-1 down against a 73 win team in the NBA finals leading both teams in every major statistical category. Hint: it's not Kobe or Jordan.

He may have had the better statline points and rebs wise but that was because he was going against much inferior centers with the exception of mutombi in the 01 series against philly.
Indiana: rick smits (lol)
NJ: Todd MacCulloch (who? )

obviously lakers wanted to exploit the mismatches and use shaq in those match ups. by the way who was the guy hitting clutch shots when the game was tight at the end? it wasnt shaq
