1. Jordan 1991
2. Lebron 2012
3. Duncan 2003
4. Shaq 2000
5. Jordan 1993
6. Shaq 2001

9. Larry Bird '84
10. Larry Bird '86
11. Duncan '99
12. Shaq '02
13. D. Wade '06
This is NOT just the Finals, it's the entire playoff run (i.e. Wade not being higher - he was ESPN's #1 or #2 pick for greatest Finals performance when they came out with that). As mentioned in the post below, read the summaries for explanations.
There goes all that talk about how dominant Kobe was during the the 1st 3 series prior to those Finals appearances where ppl say Shaq took over and won Finals MVP's but it was actually Kobe who led them there...sad.

-
wade solo run>>lebron
-
smh no 09 kobe
-
lol i laughed ... so blatant..
-
Dirk's whole playoff run in 2011 was one of the greatest you will ever
-
? complainin bout their fav players being left off sound stupid, the stats are posted bros, it aint like theyre being subjective and stating their own opinions or sumn...Kobe, Dirk etc simply didnt have higher production than any of the players that made the list...simple.
-
Revisionist history
-
Dirk isn't one of my favorite players, I consider that a goat run he had that playoffs
-
"stats" are like sports cliff notes ....w/o context
-
Dirk was by himself!!!!
-
I've noticed that these media publications have no respect for Kobe...Its a damn shame, how they trying to dictate and force down on our throats how they want us to perceive and remember him, smh...Stay trying to enforce their rhetorics on us.
-
LOL why are you guys giving the T/S wacks. He didn't make the list.
-
List is str8 trash and gets no credibility
-
List is pretty spot on but MJ in 93>91 and Hakeem in 95>94

Playoffs consists of FOUR rounds of basketball, not 1, not 2, not 3, FOUR...those players had a better FOUR rounds of playoff basketball than Dirk, who in actuality wasnt even the best player in the Finals that year, Jason Terry was more impactful than he was...just sayin.
@OG...they Kobe stans thats why lol...they mad he never played a full FOUR rounds of high level basketball....sad.
-
Kobe groupies stay irate when people don't list him high on these list
-
right because Kobe didn't average 30, 5 and 5 in 09
or didn't have 3 straight trips to the finals
sounds pretty consistent to me -

That's not true tho. -
The thing about Kobe is that the people that love him rate him too high
and the people that hate him don't give him enough credit
there will never be a balance on where he is perceived -

What year was he a beast all 4 rounds? He always has a series where his #'s are pedestrian like, just so happens a lot of those times are in the Finals lol...and IDGAF bout his ppg, so dont mention it, he shoots 30 a game so yeah he'll avg 30ppg, wsup wit his rebs, assts, and FG% tho? Exactly.
