says a guy who obviously didn't see it
Okay, this is slightly misleading. I'm sure you all expected an article on big Philly, but I thought this was interesting. I didn't see it anywhere else, but I might have missed it. Anyway, here's the quote:
Stephen Jackson, San Antonio, 2003
Spurs vs. Nets -- Jackson's PER 6.7
Jackson was a huge part of the Spurs' run to the Finals, but then he was a train wreck once they got there. It wasn't just that he shot 37.8 percent, or that he earned only 12 free-throw attempts from his 61 shots. Jackson made 26 turnovers in the six games -- an amazing total for a player whose main job was to spot up as a shooter -- and finished with more miscues than baskets (23).
And people are worried about turnovers after a deal for JR Smith! I'm just saying...Oh, and the very next entry was interesting, too.
LeBron James, Cleveland, 2007
Cavs vs. Spurs -- James' PER 14.3
The King's first Finals visit wasn't a memorable one. Bruce Bowen hounded him into 35.6 percent shooting, and James committed 5.8 turnovers per game as San Antonio swept the Cavs in four. It didn't help that he couldn't get a whistle as he tried to draw a foul on a last-second 3-point try at the end of Game 3.

The 4th quarter of Game 6 more than made up for that.
thought this would be about Phillip. timely thread.
Not having read the thread, I thought he was talking about Phil Jackson.
If it was about Phil, that would be an interesting assessment, if only for stat nerds. Maybe Hollinger could create a "Coaching Efficiency Rating" to judge the best coaches in the league. That might settle the Jackson/Popovich debate. Just a thought.
...But then again, Hollinger would be the one creating it. So, nevermind.
Phil is prolly the only Jackson "of note" in this year's Finals. that's prolly where the confusion lies
yup, what he did the rest of the series, but he was the reason we won game 6 at the end, going on a 9-0 run by himself made up for anything he's ever done wrong........
I guess my definition of "worst ever" isn't the same as his. First of all, Jack's team won. Second, he was part of a big run to clinch the series.
lol at least hes in elite company.
