It's quite fashionable these days to shit on Kobe.
People either forget or intentionally ignore the things he did in the playoffs during his career. Fine by me.

Kobe was great, but he's created a reinvention of history that he was a great leader and teammate. Don't forget he was leaving LA and headed to Chicago until Dr. Buss pulled off the Pau trade (even better there was an agreed upon package to send him to Detroit that Kobe nix).
He had 2 great finals and he was a sidekick on his first 4 trips. Thats not throwing shade, its just the truth.
And the fact he raped a girl in Colorado is a fact that everyone seems to forget.
Kobes final stats:
Vs Pacers: 15.6 points; 4.6 rebounds; 4.2 assists
Vs 76ers 24.6 ppg; 7.8 rpg; 5.8 apg;
Vs Nets 26.8 ppg; 5.8 rpg; 5.3 apg;
Vs Pistons 22.6 ppg; 2.8 rpg; 4.4 apg;
Vs Celtics 25.7 ppg; 4.7 rpg; 5.0 apg;
Vs Magic 32.4 ppg; 5.6 rpg; 7.4 apg;
Vs Celtics 28.6 ppg; 8.0 rpg; 3.9 apg; (and he shot 6/24 in game 7)
