rings are team accomplishments
but 25 4 5 are okay numbers
you know good and well Kobe's career numbers were hurt by the fact he spent those two years on the bench and the fact he had to share the ball with Shaq for half his career
these are Kobe's numbers POST-SHAQ
2005-2012 Regular Season (600 games)
28.8 PPG (45 FG%, 34 3FG%, 84 FT%)
5.5 RPG
5.0 APG
55.9 TS%
2006-2012 Playoffs (96 games)
29.1 PPG (46 FG%, 35 3FG%, 84 FT%)
5.4 RPG
5.2 APG
56.4 TS%
So that's 29/5/5 both in the regular season and post-season on roughly 56% True Shooting% (which combines 2fg%, 3fg%, and ft% for those who don't know).
To see how impressive this is just compare it to Jordan's career totals. Jordan had a career regular season average of
30/6/5 on 56.9 TS%. And a post-season average of
33/6/6 on 56.8 TS%. I think Kobe's regular season
29/5/5 on 55.9 TS% and post-season
29/5/5 on 56.4 TS% compares favorably.
I'm not saying Kobe is better statistically than Jordan. I'm simply saying that the comparison is alot closer than the career averages indicate because Jordan was the #1 option his entire career while Kobe only became the number option after 05 when Shaq left.
