all these guys started their careers at different ages. so
the 'age 30 season' stipulation is just as much of a stat juke.
it's just a juke in the opposite direction, that makes lebron's
totals look more favorable.

what are the totals through each player's season 12?

edit: never mind, i looked it up.

going through 'season 12' rather than 'age 30 season' adds
6 series wins to jordan's total (CHA 95, ORL/SEA 96, ATL/MIA/UTA 97),
2 to duncan's (PHO/NOH 08) and magic's (HOU/POR 91), 1 to bird's (ATL 88)
and subtracts 4 from kobe's total (UTA/HOU/DEN/ORL 09).

duncan - 18
jordan - 17
bryant - 14
johnson - 13
bird - 11
james - 10 pending 2015 finals
