In the Past 20 years, name a top 6 player that experiences a significicant drop performance in the playoffs?

I've never seen a player stuff the stat sheet like James Harden does but his ridiculous Regular Season numbers also exposes the big difference between his playoof numbers and regular season number

He looks like the best player in the world the last three years, in the regular season. Playoff comes around, and he is barely top 10..


Maybe Tracy Mcgrady?

Really cant remeber anyone

serious, i have him as the 4th best player overall but if I have to rank players based solely on playoff performances...He'd be around 7-8.

Maybe hes not a superstar after all if he doesnt play based off free throws

Curry in the finals tbh.

Kawhi Leonard.

Spurs skipping Leg Day

Players that have historically relied heavily on the whistle, have regressed in the postseason IIRC where less ticky tak fouls get called. This combined with Harden's insane Regular Season usage would explain the dip IMO.

Disagree to an extent. I think he burns himself out during the regular season. Look at his minutes and usage rate. No different than Westbrook.
