But who showed up in the clutch in Games 3 and 4? Kobe Kobe had 14 points in the 4th quarter of this game and 12 points in the 4th quarter of game 4. Shaq even said that Kobe was huge and he doesn't think they would have won if he didn't step up. So to say Kobe shouldn't at least be in the discussion for Finals MVP this year is absurd and ludicrous.
A bit more to the right with that desperation heave from Kidd and it's OT and maybe it becomes a series..either way, we wouldn't have ever been denied our three-peat..
