You’re really comparing a spot up shooter in Paxson to Kyrie who creates his own shot and averaged 27ppg in that series? Show me when Paxson had a 40pt playoff game :jbhmm:

I didn’t even look, but I’m not even sure he scored 30 in a playoff game. I know that game 5 against the Lakers, he went off.
Yeah, they missed the whole point. I wasn’t talking about his clutch shot when I brought up Kyrie, I was referring to the player as a whole posting bail for Lebron, and especially in an elimination game. Mike never had that luxury of sitting back and watching, allowing someone to take over. Also, he’s never been faced with elimination in the finals.

Mike never played a team as good as the Warriors in the finals. Warriors starters arent losing a 15 point lead to the Bulls bench in the 4th quarter of game six like the choking ass Blazers :scust:

fukk Magic, Mike on the same LeBron teams isn't making The Finals any year he doesn't have a Pippen-ish teammate...

So Mike isnt even in The Finals in 2007 or 2018. We know this is true because he never made a Finals run without a Top 5-ish teammate...
pippen wasn’t an all star in ‘91 or ‘98

You aren’t top 5 in the nba if you don’t even make the all star team.

Y’all tryin too hard to discredit jordan. Kyrie put up #1 option #’s & was killin klay in the finals ,dropped 40 in game 5.jordan literally never had that type of offensive production at any point in any playoff game. Wade also dropped 40 ,ad dropped 40 lebron has had better teammates and still couldn’t win more championships

Bron put up never been seen before and after numbers in those finals. “#1 option” is arbitrary. First and only player in NBA playoffs history to lead both teams in the categories mentioned in comparison…..:childplease:

No player in the history of every playoff series ever player led a team in all those categories and here you are using Luka’s non defensive aggregate playoff numbers as a counterpoint in a beautiful display of intellectual dishonesty.

:camby:

Yall really hate Bron.

2016 Cavs

1st Round vs Andrew Drummond's Pistons
2nd Round vs Al Horford's Hawks
3rd Round vs Derozon's Raptors

And needed Kyrie to 28ppg and take all the big shots to beat an injured and suspended Warriors squad

:dead:

Scottie in 1993 finals: 21/9/8 while being the best defender on the floor
Kyrie in 2016 finals: 27/4/4

So I guess the idea is that you get one year anointed as your personal best here. I guess there isn’t a great argument for the 2013 final series being a better candidate than 2016, but I felt like that was a great one too.

For the 40s and above mad at this one, you just gotta understand that recent greatness is always going to trump past greatness when you’re doing a social media poll. The biggest generation on IG is the millennials or Gen Z I believe, which probably means 18-34. It’s impossible for someone in that age range to remember a series in 1993 more than 2016.
