I watched the whole game, he took all the shots but Jazz D did not slack off. He earned all those points. It wasn't an very efficient offensive game because of the reckless chucking from 3pt line, the rest of the game was actually very efficient scoring.

Judging by your Curry comment it seems that you think there's a linear relationship between shot attempts and points scored, there's simply not. If anything it's a curve that's flattening out at the end. Try shoot 50 times even in a relatively competitive pickup game, after about 35 shots you'll get so tired you miss everything (provided ppl still pass you the ball). Plus it's unfair to compare prime Curry to this Kobe. The guy did score 81 pts on 46 attempts and 62 pts in 3 quarters, those were all-time efficient offensive outings.

The finish was miraculous because of the circumstances: already shot 40+ times, almost physically drained, team down 10+ with 4,5 mins to go, not to mention at the ancient age of 38, and he went on a tear to win a game without missing single shot at the end. In a vacuum of factors it is just a Mamba redemption that happened numerous times before, but all things considered it is a finish that's just like miracle to me. And this is coming from a guy who stopped watching him play around 2002.
