Looking at overall playoff numbers too..............its very close. Shaq Kobe were def far better on defense both finished top 5 in Dpoy and complimented each other well. Jokic Murray seems more potent offensively as this was still pre prime Kobe before the massive superstar leap in 01

Surprised the rebound difference is that close, but even with the pace, DAMN, that assist difference is insane. It's definitely Jokic and Murray. 2001 would be a lot closer when Kobe was near peak for the playoff run.

01 would be Kobe Shaq by a mile. Defense should be factored in for 00 as well Kobe Shaq were a far better defensive duo.

It's quite close, I guess we have to wait for the rest of the finals. Murray has been better offensively than 2000 Kobe so far, but Kobe was very good defensively.

For now, I think I'd go with 2001 >>> 2023 >= 2000

Kobesque performance from Murray w/ Jokic in foul trouble and he delivers in the 4th

eerie to some finals and playoffs games of Shaq in foul trouble sitting while Kobe carries the team
