2 for 10 for 7 points in a conference finals game for the best player in the world? Y'all would FRY Durant for a game like that. I'm pretty sure a healthy Larry Bird never had a playoff game like that.

Bron about to end next game with 45/15/11/9/2. He'll earn 15 fouls against the pacer singelhandedly.

good that Bron could feel the foul trouble pain he causes with the way he plays

just once though

- Larry Bird only had 5 playoff games (that he started) where he shot less than 30%
- In those 5 games, he never shot 20% or lower
- Two of them came in the Eastern Conference Finals:
1) In an elimination game 6 against the Pistons, he shot 4/17 (.235) for 16 points with 14 boards and 5 assists, but the Celtics lost and were eliminated
2) In a potential clinching game 4 against the Sixers, he shot 4/15 (.267) for 14 points with 7 boards and 6 assists, and the Celtics lost before clinching in the next game

<-- In Pigpen we trust

- Lebron James has 9 career playoff games where he shot less than 30%
- In two of those games, he shot 20% or less, including last night
- Two of those games came in the conference finals, and two more came in the NBA finals
1) In game 6 of the ECF vs. detroit, he shot 3/11 (.273) for 20 points with 14 boards and 8 assists, as Cleveland won and clinched a trip to the finals
2) last night - 2/10 (.200) for 7 points with 2 boards and 4 assists, and Miami lost
3) Game 1 against the Spurs, 4/16 (.250) for 14 points with 7 boards and 4 assists in a loss
4) The infamous game 4 against Dallas: 3/11 (.273) for 8 points 9 boards 7 assists in a loss

Zero chance Bird doesn't put up 40 on Born Ready,
a man 4 inches and 50lbs smaller than him

I think overall Lebron has probably overtaken him,
or is darn close to doing it

I doubt Bird scores 10 points against Born Ready.

Lebron overtook him offensively when he played in Cleveland. It's not even close now. If Bird played Bron then there's no way Bird makes five shots.

He caught that vicious elbow to the chest by that dirtbag Chalmers (Heat is real heavy on dirtbags, you could make a Battier post like the one we made on Wade last week) and wasn't afraid to show it got him

I don't know whether Chalmers flopped or if PG really did catch him with an elbow right before that trey he dropped to end the quarter. I was hoping for the latter

nah i ain't gonna do shit.

lance the type o dude you can only like if he on your team. i'm loving him this series lol

Which = a really, really excellent supporting cast

Also like I said, the Pacers success depends on Paul
George, not on Born Ready

Born Ready has MORE than held his own despite being
laughably outmatched physically...he's literally 4 inches
shorter and and 50+ lbs lighter...and deals with it on
BOTH sides of the court.

give Lebron the Shaq Kobe had, and Bron would have a quadruple-peat AND shaq wouldn't have gotten mad at him and they'd have stayed together.

Kobe and Shaq didn't make the finals every year they were together on some unstoppable shit. The Heat look like NBA champions every year as presently constructed. It's not even close. Remember we don't know if they'll lose an NBA finals.

The argument of "GOAT HAD A PRIME SHAQ SO THOSE RINGS DON'T COUNT. ANYONE CAN WIN WITH SHAQ" is forever deaded during and after this heat run.

not because of wade or bosh. Because of Bron.

i think you think that was smart.

Bron needed motherfucking debug code to win a championship. Nigga went from his fans screaming for help to finding a way to enable god mode.

Still mad about the decision, huh?

Everyone's moved on from the decision. Anyone could tell you the Heat would win a chip their first year.

We're talking. agenda shit right now. No one's mad but pointing out the obvious ideological inconsistency inherent in the decision of Bron's stance in league history.

Any argument that says Bird is better offensively than Bron is LAUGHABLE.

I expect Lebronon to attack that argument with the same nukes they sent to the death star after Bron's last chip.

doesn't change the fact that he laid an egg last night.

Lebronon fans get to smelling themselves and start talking that Mike shit, FOH, it ain't even remotely close. Other than Bill Russell, who wasn't a scorer and is overrated anyway, I can't recall any top 10 caliber player ever having a performance like that in a playoff game.

when they open up that box. And this is while playing damn near entire games end to end. I'm like damn. But I have no dog in this race. Just keeping perspective.

but the soap opera of it all and fallout roster-wise has made folks forget how bad he was. As has him getting bailed out of Game 7 in 2010. Laker Game 6 '08 Finals was a white-flag performance worthy of Bron/Dallas. No need to even get into Phoenix Game 7. Or that you have to really struggle to come up with a single Kobe 'pantheon' playoff performance for the league's cannon that would make an all-time Top 25 from NBA players.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bryanko01.html#playoffs_per_game::none

25.6PPG in the playoffs... 44.8% from the field in the playoffs..

and in his 5 championship seasons... he averaged 30 points per in the playoffs once....and 29 points per twice..

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jamesle01.html#all_playoffs_per_game

more scoring, more assists, more boards, and on fewer shots per game. and he averaged 30+ in a chip year too. BETTER. SO MUCH BETTER.

his post-season was (outside of a couple of incredible performances)..but it was mostly known for chunkin up threes and falling short of expectations even though every season for multiple years the Cavs pretty much remade their roster in the offseason to figure out the perfect cast to go with him...

then finally he had to leave and join other established players to form a team to win a title..

Kobe been a Laker... will stay a Laker...and took 2 different LAKER squads to championships..


no comparison

you brought up career playoff stats and did so stupidly by not checking if Lebron's were better. They are. because he's better. and i don't like him.

I responding to an insinuation that Kobe Bryant had no significant post-season performances. The stats show how completely foolish that claim is...

5 titles is more than 2 titles... I ain't trippin off Lebron James... He went out and chased rings to find 2 other all-stars to team up with. Kobe played the hand he was dealt....with 2 different casts to win his titles...

the young players in the NBA voted Kobe the #1 player they admire..like I said..nobody's trippin off bron...

>but the soap opera of it all and fallout roster-wise has made
>folks forget how bad he was. As has him getting bailed out of

He didn't shoot well but he still scored 10 points in the 4th and grabbed 15 boards.

Laker Game 6 '08 Finals was a white-flag
>performance worthy of Bron/Dallas.

Really? He had 22, Bron had 8 in that game 4 with zilch in the 4th, that's a level of quitting unseen since MJ in game 5 of the 89 ECF!


No need to even get into

it's levels
if bron get his 3rd finals mvp to go with his third ring this year it's a wrap

------------------------------

17x NBA Champions

thought we all knew these things by now.

He only has 2 to Duncan's 3 (4).

Honestly Bron has the higher ceiling, but I'd like to see if he can make the Finals in 2020 with 13 years between appearances. THAT is crazy impressive to me. Now granted, Duncan did it 2 years in...so accounting for that, let's just see if Bron can make the Finals 15 years in like Duncan in 2018. Another 4 seasons of dominance would be pretty incredible.

I dunno, lately I've found that longevity of the Spurs/Duncan fascinating.

most of the kobe hate was reasonable
everybody has bad games
niggas hate on lebron for GOOD games
just a couple days ago somebody on here tried to downplay a 30 5 and 5 game
only way that happens with kobe is if he shot 40% to get his points , which is fair imo

>only way that happens with kobe is if he shot 40% to get his

People hated on Kobe's number of assists (2) in the 81 point game where he shot 60%. So...nope.
