I’d consider leading the team in every statistical category the greatest playoff series display of all time

Pssh, Lebron has had better box scores in the FInals than he had in that Finals plus there was an anomaly in the fact that neither side had any real Centers. Lebron was one of the largest players on the court for both teams and could lead in rebounds and blocks. Bogut got hurt earlier in the series. Its not really surprising for that to happen in an era of small ball.

It would have been impossible to do that if he was playing against a team with a Patrick Ewing for example. Of all the things he led both sides in, steals is the most impressive to me.

First 3-peat Jordan was the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. Point blank period.

Absolutely flawless on both ends of the court for 48 mins.

:bow:

Also to be fair, this was first round so only best out of 5 back then so this was a 3 game stretch. Mike dropped 46, 33 then 56 on the road to walk out with the sweep. But the efficiency and dominance in which he did it was just :wow:

I'm pretty sure @viktordoomsecretwars has posted that entire Gm 3 where MJ drops 56 on the road to close it out. If you have time, watch them highlights. He scores 56 on 20-30 FGs, literally scoring in every way imaginable from fadeaway to midrange to 3, to dunk. Etc. I watched it live as it happened. The crossover, double pump dunk in a crowd, had me :ohlawd: and has me like that to this day when I see it.

@viktordoomsecretwars help me out and post that clip fam I'm too lazy to look for it :russ:
