:wow:

:what: where's Kyrie?

He was the one who won that series with the second greatest clutch shot in Finals history.

The greatest clutch shot in history is Ray Allen in Game vs the Spurs. Another guy who saved LeBron's legacy.

When Magic was the defending Finals MVP in 1981 he had a stacked team with defending NBA MVP Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, All-Star and future HOFer Jamaal Wilkes, Norm Nixon who averaged 17-3-9 and would be an All-Star the next year, and future DPOY Michael Cooper.

That STACKED team lost in the first round to a team with a losing record. In the deciding game of the series, Magic went 2-14 with 9 turnovers and only shot 6-11 from the line. With 30 seconds left and a 1-point lead he went to the line and missed both shots, had Dunleavy hit the game-winner in his face, then went for the game-winner himself and airballed it from just 8 feet away.

You're talking midgets when the player that was bodying the Lakers to the tune of 21 and 5 was 5'9" Calvin Murphy. :francis:

But that doesn't count, cause somehow 1st-round losses to 40-42 teams are more noble than Finals losses to great teams, and because Magic isn't held to the same standard as LeBron for obvious reasons.

We could also talk about a Finals where Larry Bird scored 8, 8, and 12 points in three consecutive games against a shytty opponent and only averaged 15ppg on 42% shooting for the series....but again, Bird isn't held to the same standard.

Or Kobe averaging 22-3-4 on 38% shooting (17% from three) while straight shooting his team out of a Finals against a heavy underdog....but again, not held to the same standard.
Bron supposed to be the GOAT tho so that makes it worse
