I actually just looked up Kobe's numbers, it was 28, 4 and 6. Gasol = 19 pts per game, 12 rebounds per game (rebounding won the series), 2.5 blocks (won the series), 4 assists but the BIGGEST one... 5 offensive rebounds per game... the most valuable stat in basketball, offensive rebounds. Gasol was clearly better on paper and while watching the game.... and he hit the game winning shot. But maybe you were too busy watching Kobe hit the top of the backboard out of triple team coverage and flat out let Gasol saving LA's championship pass your eyes by. Big difference between paper and actual play...... I'm not denying Gasol playing great, and without him, this series would have been over a lot earlier. But that doesn't mean he was the best player.... He was clearly the second best player between both teams, but he had more than 1 bad game, while Kobe had 1 terrible game. LeBron could have had the same performance, and you would have been all over him.
