He's just damn fortunate Dova is around to clean up after him.

[Arcadian]

He's in God mode right now. If he can do it for two out of the next four games, the Cavs will win their first NBA title.

Series price should be dead even right now. Gonna load up 2 grand more on that GSW train

I still don't believe in the Cavs, but I may have to hedge out soon, tbh:lol..

[BatManu20]

Lebron also has the most missed shot attempts through 3 games too.. 64 to be exact. He has more misses in 3 games than both Steph Curry and Klay Thompson individually have attempts...


Just saying. Still incredible what Lebron is doing though without his other 2 best players.

Those percentages aren't that great when he's not shooting 3 pointers bro

most FGA's ever too iirc

[Malik Hairston]

Lebron should be compared to 2nd 3-peat DK, at this point of his career..they're around the same point/mileage IIRC..

DK's Finals opponents during the 2nd 3-peat: 2nd in D, 9th in D, 17th in D(:lmao)..1 great D(Sonics, which he shot similar to how Lebron's shooting in this series IIRC), 1 above average D, and 1 below average D..pretty easy, outside of the Sonics..

Pales in comparison to being a +425 underdog and being up 2-1, scoring the most points through 3 Finals games in league history, and your best supporting players are a fringe PG, Mozgov and Thompson..unheard of..

[spurraider21]

lebron has scored or assisted on 200 of the cavs 291 points :wow

[Malik Hairston]

Lebron: 41 PPG on 35 FGA/G vs. the #1 ranked D in the NBA
DK: 27 PPG on 21 FGA/G vs. the #2 ranked D in the NBA

DK has been a little more efficient, but efficiency goes down with higher volume, of course..

[Mikeanaro]

Lol he sucks, could make 300 points on a trillion attemps.
There is no need for this MJ was better and accomplished more 20 years ago why people try so hard to put this stinky nig on a pedestal?

I know you're feeling good and things are looking up for you right now...but if GS reels off 3 in a row....you'll have ZERO case to make about Lebrons teammates and saying he had no help

[Killakobe81]

Truth. But that's why stats lie. He has not shot well especially from 3 ... But when big 3's need to be hit he makes them and he has dominated the tempo with his physical presence will and skill. Watch how Iggy no wimp just bounces off his shoulders. He is doing to Iggy what Shaq did to Mutombo ...it's been impressive. who cares if his FG% is off or his FGA attempts are high? I hate that part of the metrics era ... he has been AMAZING , PERIOD.

LOL it's also an indictment on metrics ball. Lebron taking us back to the stone ages with iso ball. I actually dont mind it Lebron is the Magic 2.0 we all knew he could be ...

I know that about Lebron. I was talking about Jordan's shooting efficiency. He never shot the 3 ball well but consistently hit 2 pointers at 50% clip and people legitimately believed that's better than say, shooting 47% overall and 40% from 3pt.

What are you talking about?

Jordan had 42, 44, and 55 points in Games 2, 3 and 4 of the Finals vs. the Suns.

So you can just ignore the 1st three peat, aka the absolute prime, of Jordan's career when you have to compare the two?

[ducks]

most field goal attempts
has the ball in his hand for everything

Is this the exclusive company which Rick Barry leads? :lol

So Kome can compare to LeBron.

No, you can compare Lebron's first part of his career vs. DK's first part, it's fair and close..I'd have DK > Lebron in part 1 due to Lebron's failure in 2011, but still, it's fair..

He's chucking and the Warriors are choking... but still very impressed with his play. I'm just not looking forward to the next 30 years of discussion about how lebron single handily won the NBA in 2015 or whatever they'll spout -.-

No, you compare prime to prime.

Jordan's first run of dominance > Jordan's second run

Lebron's 2nd run of dominance > Lebron's 1st run.

And yet you are saying Lebron's 2nd run is comparable to Jordan's 2nd run, therefore they are comparable, and throwing out their 1st runs entirely.

1st run would be the first part in which you defined it. If there is no first run, all the more reason to compare prime to prime.

It also doesn't matter what graphic you pulled, you explicitly said three games (and I even took it as three consecutive games), you never said 1st three games.

See: Bryant in 2004 and 2008.

I'm talking about the manifestation of the "malady." I ain't talking result. That is subjective.

What did I define as "1st run"? Be more clear..

And the graphic clearly says "first", sorry I forgot to include 1 word in the OP:lol..this dude and his reaching..

The 1st run is really up for you to decide, you can call it first part, first half, first stage, whatever you want to call it, but the first run of Lebron's career is clearly less impressive than his 2nd run, and yet Jordan's 1st run was more impressive than his own second run, comparing the weaker phase of a player to a stronger phase of another player isn't apples to apples.

As for the graphic, I am looking at the thread, and then the text. The graphic takes lowest priority because I am not even sure if you just want to take it from somewhere without editing it. You could be extrapolating it to include all 3 game stretches in finals.
