Real Talk, tbh.
..but that was one of the top 3 playoff performances from a perimeter player of all-time, tbh..only Lebron vs. Detroit is on the same level..
It means nothing if they lose game 7, but regardless, I can't think of another perimeter player that had a game that rivals this historic game..
Jordan's 63 came in 3 OTs in a game with 40 additional possessions, and he had absolutely no pressure, at that time..Kobe has had a few, but he had Shaq, allowing him to face less defensive attention..
Real Talk, tbh.
Not an LBJ fan and saying this is a top 3 performance
Jordan has at least half a dozen performances trumping it, Kobe has a few games against a Spurs team that was much better than this Celtics team. Celtics are a tired team that are overperforming and they didn't play great today.
LBJ had a great game, but don't start a circle jerk and put it in a top 10 of all time performance, let alone t
Post them..
The first player to put up 45-15-5 in 48 years..never been done in the modern era..against the number 1 defense in the NBA..in an elimination game, on the road, with limited teammate production..
There isn't a better game, sorry..
I like how you conviently put in the 5 assists to exclude Kobe's game 1 performance against a 2001 Spurs team that was better defensively than this Celtics team.Post them..

+ also just because Shaq was on the team doesn't take away from the fact he racked up 46/16 on that team. Everybody knows Shaq won the war, but that series, Kobe won the battle.
I can't include a player that had the most unstoppable player in NBA history, in his prime, on the court with him..makes it a lot easier to perform..
It's a fact that the Celtics D is elite and the #1 D in the NBA..

What I wanna know is why the op posts ellipses nonstop u got OCD or something bro?
That's his schtick, and it's not really harmful so I just ignore it.
How is that considered a shtick? It's just bad grammar and makes you look like kool aid
They both have about the same IQ, tbh.How is that considered a shtick? It's just bad grammar and makes you look like kool aid
Elgin Baylor dropped 61 and 22 to beat the Celtics in regulation in Game 5 of the 62 Finals. 45 and 15 is a very nice line indeed, but 61 and 22 pretty well destroys it.
Magic put up 42/15/7/3 as a rookie, filling in for an injured Kareem at center, in game 6 of the 1980 finals to clench the le.
At age 34, Michael Jordan dropped 38/7/5 in game 5 or the 97 Finals, the "Flu Game", after a doctor told him there was no way he could possibly play.
Isiah Thomas dropped 43/3/8/6 with a sprained ankle in game 6 of the 88 finals.
Just one of the few better performances in history
Real talk, that was impressive the way he scored at will over Antonio Daniels.
It's the truth.
Game 6 facing elimination on the road...
One more is the fact he won the game in 3 quarters.He could made 50+ easily if they need it.
It was one of the best performances of all time. Only fools can denied it
Magic's game is up there..
Jordan's game was statistically inferior, by a large margin..he couldn't even shoot 50%
Isiah's game was statistically inferior, it was a loss, and it came against a D that was barely in the top 10..still a greatn performance, though..
Only Magic's game rivals Lebron's, so far..
Well, if you want to talk about lack of pressure, LeBron built a comfortable lead and never had to hit any shots in crunch time with the game on the line. Which is fortunate, because LeBron's tendency to choke down the stretch is downright legendary.
Compare that with Jordan's 45 in the clenching Game 6 of the 1998 Finals including a miracle shot to win the game, and Jordan's game came with a crapload more pressure attached to it. But I guess that can't possibly compare with LeBron's night because of the rebounds involved.
Are you trying to help Harlem with his argument?
That;s because he didn't play under the current defensive rules which ban hand checking and a whole bunch of vicious physical play that Jordan had to deal with. If Jordan were in his prime today, he could probably drop 50 a game.
But I guess because number of possessions is a numerical measure and defensive rules aren't, you can use that to force the math to come out the way you want.
BTW, if you're "not a big LeBron fan", why is it that you love the Heat so much? Big Udonis Haslem fan?
Also, why is it that you are only counting perimeter players? You do realize that LeBron James's listed playing weight is about 5 pounds different from Tim Duncan's, and he's 3 inches taller than Charles Barkley?
