LeBron is now 11-3 all time in the Semis, last time he lost in this round was fukking 2010...

Thats a .786 win% and the only GOATs with better win% in the Semis are Mike, Cap, Magic, and Wilt. Thats it...

Besides him being injured last year, the last 9 times he's been in the playoffs he's made it to the conference finals at minimum...

Averaged in the Semis:

25.8/10.4/7.4 on 511/294/711 shooting...

Great post and the thing is I don't even think MJ played in more than 10 semi finals. Magic, kareem and Wilt for sure played well into double digit semi finals especially kareem cause of his time with the bucks and lakers.

Anyway....I were all those folks who said Lebron only dominated the east cause it was weak. He WoN't Do ThAt In ThE WeSt...:troll:

Those dudes won't come in this thread cause they the same cats who predicted Portland to beat LA, then predicted Houston to give LA issues...

Wilt was 10-1 (.909) because the playoffs started in the Semis back in his day, there was no quarterfinals...

Magic was 10-1, 6-1 (.857) as a #1 when Kareem started declining...

Kareem was 14-2 (.875) total in the Semis, 9-2 (.818) as a #1...

Mike was 8-2 (.800)...

The "Decline" as many of you call it is actually happening but it doesnt look anything like what you expected or hoped it would look like

He is very clearly a few steps past his athletic zenith. His foot speed, stop and start, second jump etc is not the same.

However he picks his spots and conserves energy and it turns out very effectively. He generally takes smart shots and ramps up attacks in the paint as needed. He will post up more often.

Lebron gets the absolute maximum out of the money he spends on his body.

His IQ is so high, he takes efficient shots, his offensive game is diverse and he is one of the greatest passers of all time...plus he understands pace and possessions like very few players have ever.

All of this helps him camouflage any short comings in his athleticism due to age.
