Kobe the best closer in basketball?

D...

b and c.

You know, Dwyane Wade is also a great closer, just think about what happened on feb.28 2009 against the knicks. down 20 at the end of three and scores 24 points in 4 quarter and 22 in final 6 minutes

game one didnt even matter

game two, i think he led them in the 4th, idk what the % was

game 3 he let them down, had a bad game in the 2nd half, was on fire in the 1st, that game he tried to win it himself when he should have used gasol a lot more

so i guess B, he doesnt miss 5 fts.....ever

he is the best closer in basketball, that doesnt mean ever tho

he just ran out of gas i think in the end of that game. They had to travel and lose 3 hours and only had one day off. I think he should take a step back and not think he has to do it all himself cuz he doesnt. Gasol was 9-11 last night.

I still want the ball to go through Kobe in the end of the game

C. Hands down. Kobe's been terribe with game winning shots and 4th quarters over his career, for those actually pay attention and look at the stats. There is no way he's the best closer.... unless you count closing as building up a 30 point lead in the first three quarters, because he's good at that.

game 1 was a blowout so there was nothing to close

game 2 he was fouled on that last possession in the 4th by Lewis, but they never call fouls on the last possession

game 3 he was definitely off. he rarely misses FTs.

3 games...you can say what want. I imagine you won't be talking much if the Lakers win.

You have no idea how hard Kobe has to try nowadays, he is 30 turning 31. And sometimes a player can have a off night. You can't except Kobe to be Clutch every game he plays. Maybe most of them but not all.

B)

Kobe has his days. He always chokes in the Finals. He can never get another ring without The Big Diesel

These are just off 4th quarter games. He is an amazing player and an amazing closer. Kobe is not the 'best' closer in basketball. There are much more great 4th quarter players, including Isiah Thomas, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird.

B) He is a pretty good closer,but i still think tht some people might overrate it sometimes thts why there is always so much pressure on him (not hatin laker fans) I still think he is the best closer but honestly it is somewhat close.

B

He had some good 3rd quarter performances, so it kinda cancels out the poor fourth quarter ones.

In game 1 he closed the game out in the 3rd quarter

In game 2 he made passes in clutch time and hit a one leg fade on Hedo with the game tied in overtime.

In game 3, he..... choked.

Kobe Bryant in the Finals, 33.3pts 8ast and 47% FG.

In my opinion Kobe is the best in clutch, but it's debatable and frankly when any player in the league gets hot he can close game out, I mean Will Bynum scored 26pts in the 4th quarter once. The only reason I think it's Kobe it's because he has the complete package on offense, he can drive or hit fadeaways and he is also great at the FT line (despite what happened last night.).
