For 2000, it was a clear sidekick job by Kobe.

However in 2001 and 2002, it was a clear 1a and 1b. Kobe carried in some series. IK this sub is shocked to find out there are other series outside of the finals, but look up the stats. Kobe outperformed Shaq in lots of series.

He did not carry lmfao. Kobe averaged 30 up until the finals excluding 00 with elite defense. That is not being carridd

Yeah shaq dominated the finals. But kobe dominated up until the finals. He outperformed shaq in loads of series
