A lot of similarities here. Both their teams lost a single game in the playoffs, with that one loss in each case being the worst game of Kobe and Curry respectively. They each played the role of sidekicks to Shaq and Durant, and neither won Finals MVP. The statlines?
Kobe: 29/7/6 on 47% FG 56% TS; 25 PER, 3.8 WS
Curry: 28/6/7 on 48% FG 66% TS; 27.1, 3.4 WS
Quality of opponent matters too, of course:
Kobe's Lakers defeated:
Blazers in 3, Kings in 4, Spurs in 4, Sixers in 5
Curry's Warriors defeated:
Blazers in 4, Jazz in 4, Spurs in 4, Cavaliers in 5.
Taking defense into account also, what say you?
