He is not that far anymore, as I said in my previous posts, this kid just needs to stay confident with his game. Sometimes, he loses it and that's why the team is being dragged by it. Thankfully, many players on the Celtics team know how to step up their game and the leadership of Marcus Smart might have something to contribute to that.
Even though he had a bad Game 1 and 2 on the offensive side, he might get that MVP if the Celtics will be able to snatch this from the former champions. Because he didn't stop at just scoring, he did assists and rebounds to help.
Well, 2 of the best young players in the NBA today who admires Kobe and be like him with his mamba mentality is Jayson Tatum and Devin Booker.
But, I'll have to say Tatum is a bit better than Booker at this point of time.
Just like what you said he never stop at just scoring. Remember in Finals game 1, he was shooting 3-17fg but still managed to contribute in a different way with his 13 assist and limiting his TO to just 2 to somehow help the team secure the game 1 win on the road.
Now, the series is again tied 2-2 because the Warriors have also bounced back after the defeat in Game 3. Next game they will back at Chase Center where they have the most advantage but it's still risky because the Celtics have also proved a point that they can still win even if it's not their home.
