Kobe and Jordanesque in the same sentence? I swear that some of the people on these boards watched a Jordan highlight video then watched Kobe trying to imitate him and feel they are the same.
When Jordan was in the playoffs you knew where he was, he was always involved offensively and defensively. Kobe seems to disapear for long periods and you forget he is on the floor. He manages to keep from being exposed because other people are stepping up. Jordan was the focal point of his team and the focus of opponents defense. Shaq draws the defensive attention for the Lakers.
For a guy in this situation do you think that these shooting percentages are Jordanesque?
1st round - .353
2nd round - .455
Conf Finals - .419
He is shooting better in the finals but he didn't carry them to the finals. He is actually now hitting at a "jordanesque" rate of .537
Against Sac there were games he disappeared down the stretch or ended the fourth quarter 1 for 8. He might get there some day but right now he should be tearing it up with Shaq drawing the attention.
