    2008 Western Conference Finals Game 5, May 29, 2008 | After stealing game 4 in San Antonio, the Lakers entered game 5 looking to close out the reigning champion Spurs at home. The Lakers would fall behind big in the first half, similar to game 1. Also similar to game 1, the home team would make a comeback and it would be lead by Kobe Bryant. Following an 11 point first half, Kobe went into attack mode in the third quarter, scoring 11 points and igniting a Laker run that had them up 64-63 after three. The MVP took it a step further in the 4th quarter, erupting for 17 more points to further separate the Lakers from San Antonio to eventually win by a 100-92 score. Kobe finished with a series-high 39 points en route to the first Finals appearance by the Lakers in four years.

      Cao Li That's what's stupid about the League MVP, it shouldn't go to the player who's team has the best record it should go to the most talented player in the NBA. And from 2004-2010 NOBODY was better than Kobe Bryant. And in 05-06 and 06-07 he was the Lakers. Dude averaged like 36 PPG and single handedly got them into the Playoffs.

    • @andreio10
      @andreio10 9 ปีที่แล้ว +110

      dixonmixin10 I think it's all bacause of the trial he had. NBA has been against him since then, NBA wanted clean players as league's face, Kobe never had the same dickride as MJ or LBJ. He would have deserved at list 2 more, al list! Beyond that, also consider that in his prime years he had a terribal team, he wasted three years from 2005 to 2007 in which he was just unguardable.

    • @LuckyLefty92
      @LuckyLefty92 9 ปีที่แล้ว +54

      Cao Li I see the argument you're trying to make, and you're right. Those Laker teams in the mid 00s would've been lottery teams without Kobe. He kept them competitive in the West, and couldn't be stopped. He was definitely the most VALUABLE player. The notion that the MVP should be the best player on the best team is one of the dumbest in any sport.

    • @LuckyLefty92
      @LuckyLefty92 9 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      Cao Li I would say it's a bit of a stretch to say Rose was a weak MVP. He still averaged 25 and damn near 8. He won it more so because he had the numbers and his team overtook Lebron's as the best in the East. My opinion is, no matter the logic you look at it, Kobe should have several MVPs

    The Lakers beat the defending champs in 5 games. This Spurs team was even better than the previous year where they won it all. The Spurs played great basketball this series but Kobe was too much of a problem for them. He dismantled this team piece by piece. Can’t believe I doubted the Lakers going into this series. Congrats on making the Hall of Fame Kobe, as all of us expected. There will never be another Kobe. Rip Mamba❤️

      a 13th pick who wasn't even on the all time rookie squad despite being healthy throughout his rookie year and shot 4 airballs at the of the 4th quarter and overtime in game 5 against the Jazz. I never saw a 13th pick destroyed the whole team especially against the franchise player (1st pick Duncan) and having an all time head coach Popovich. I didn't see that coming from 1998 till 2008. What a turnaround baby!!

      It comes down to style, nothing else. Spurs always give up mid range shots which is why Kobe feasts against them and LeBron struggles. On the other hand Kobe would struggle a lot more vs the 2015-2018 Warriors because he always struggled against high octane offenses (2005-2007 Suns, 2011 Mavs, 2012 OKC) - teams that require teamwork to beat. That's what LeBron is great at

    It's funny how Chris Paul stans claim he was "robbed" of 2008 MVP when Kobe led a lesser supporting cast to the best record in the West and while only having Pau Gasol for 1/3 of the season
    In hindsight, the 2008 WCF further proved that Kobe was far more deserving of MVP since he easily beat the same Spurs team that Chris Paul lost to with far less help on both offense and defense
    2008 Lakers vs Spurs in WCF
    Pau Gasol - 13-10-4 on 45% FG - 73% FT
    Lamar Odom - 13-10-3 on 40% FG - 69% FT
    Jordan Farmar - 8-2-1 on 46/42/100
    2008 Hornets vs Spurs in WCSF
    David West - 20-9-2-1-2 on 45% FG - 84% FT
    Peja Stojakovic - 13-5-0 on 45/48/93
    Tyson Chandler - 9-10-1 on 74% FG - 57% FT and 2 BPG
    Chandler also was mainly responsible for Duncan's offensive struggles
    Chandler held Duncan to 15-13 on 42%
    compared to 24-16 on 46%
    Duncan shot 42.1% FG in the 2008 WCSF, the 3rd-worst FG% he shot in any series after the 2005 Finals and 2016 WCSF (Age 40 - last series of career)
    Duncan also had 2 points in the 4th quarter of Game 7 against the Hornets (on a foul by David West) and shot 0/4 in the 4th quarter when guarded by Chandler.
    CP3 had far, far, far more offensive and defensive help than Kobe, yet Kobe sent the same team that eliminated CP3 packing in a quick 5 games. Clear proof he was the vastly superior individual player and deserving MVP
    Had Chris Paul won the 2008 MVP, he would be the only MVP to never reach a Conference Finals (though now with him riding Harden's coattails, this likely won't last) further proving he was not deserving of the award.

Duncan wasn't nearly as integral to the Spurs' success as much as Kobe was to the Lakers'.

    I’m just here to prove to the spurs fans that Duncan always had and needed help. Kobe didn’t need much. Denied Duncan a repeat opportunity that he never got 😴 Kobe got back to backs where is Duncan’s

      Kobe was 4-2 against Duncan he ate in this supposed top ten players era. Duncan is the most overrated player in nba history.

    it is amazing how Kobe went to 3 straight Nba finals and won back to back with this squad I mean , look at his teammates Fisher, Mbenga, Mihm,Vujacic, Farmar, Turiaf and Morrison.
