Under the curse of the GOAT, the Lakers, who played seven full games against the Celtics, finally achieved a great revival under Kobe's leadership.
Despite facing Tony Allen's suffocating defense every night during the Finals, Kobe's overall shooting percentage was only 41%.
But in this suffocating defensive battle, Kobe, who always found shooting angles, repeatedly made key shots for the Lakers during tightly contested stages of the games.
The Finals concluded successfully.
Kobe was named FMVP for the first time in his career, with an outstanding average of 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.
At the Staples Center, Kobe shed tears and said, "I know many people have doubted me and this team over the past few years, but today, we proved ourselves with our actions!"
Led the Lakers to reclaim the championship.
The significance of this, whether for Kobe or the Lakers as a team, was immense.
Especially defeating their old rivals, the Celtics, in the Finals.
