Kobe Bryant’s 2010 playoff run is one of the most impressive runs we’ve ever seen. In honor of Mamba Day, let’s take a deep dive into how Kobe got his 5th championship. #MambaMentality 
In typical Kobe fashion, this run started with adversity. Kobe had a swollen knee heading into their first round matchup against OKC, which led to him not being himself for most of the series. He only averaged 21.8 PPG and 3.4 RPG on 38.9% shooting from the field from G1 to G5.
Then he got his knee drained and turned into a completely different monster. He immediately had a 6 game streak of scoring 30+ PTS in which he averaged:
33.3 PTS
52.2% FG
40.9% 3PT
86% FT
58.6% eFG
62.1% TS
33.3 PTS
