Who is the greatest Finals performer in the post-MJ era?..

[endrity]

It's Shaq, and everyone else following.

[Giuseppe]

Nope...the threepeat was Shaq's...everyone else was along for the ride.

It's the 2 after that-that will compell Daddy to taste that Kobe ass in the hereafter.

Duncan will be tasting that Kobe ass for eternity too if ain't careful.

[TampaDude]

He has as many as Robert Horry, so no that doesn't count for .

Actually, Horry has 7.

[Giuseppe]

Best second banana Finals player in the post-Pippen era: James, Ginobili, or Bryant?

Jordan. He couldn't do until Pippen held his hand.

Kobe had no problem without Daddy. Not once, but, twice.

[LkrFan]

Yeah, it counts for something as follows:::

Kobe: 5

tired old bags Duncan & Daddy: 4

[ogait]

Actually, Horry has 7.

He said after MJ. The first two was with the Rockets prior to MJ second 3 peat.

[LkrFan]

Actually, Horry has 7.

He got two of them in before MJ's 2nd 3peat.

[LkrFan]

You didn't see Nono mentioning Gasol with Shaq in his list?

I saw that . And I out loud. Friggen ElNono.

[Isitjustme?]

Jordan. He couldn't do until Pippen held his hand.

Kobe had no problem without Daddy. Not once, but, twice.

Goddamn, u ragin old man.

[endrity]

It must pretty damn nice to take turns at taking over series. LBJ does it against Boston and Chicago, Wade against Dallas. These guys are just taking easy against everyone else.

[TampaDude]

He said after MJ. The first two was with the Rockets prior to MJ second 3 peat.

Okay...but my point was total # doesn't mean as much if you weren't the man.

[ElNono]

James just getting his feet wet, tbh... has to be Kobe

[ElNono]

I saw that . And I out loud. Friggen ElNono.

[TampaDude]

Jordan. He couldn't do until Pippen held his hand.

Kobe had no problem without Daddy. Not once, but, twice.

Kobe had Daddy Gasol for the other two.

6-24

'nuff said.

+ all those rebounds and that shovel to Artest.

That's how we got to:::

Kobe: 5

tired old bag Duncan: 4

[TampaDude]

+ all those rebounds and that shovel to Artest.

That's how we got to:::

Kobe: 5

tired old bag Duncan: 4

Kobe was lucky that Test bailed him out.

Duncan 4

Kobe .5

[Giuseppe]

Kobe was lucky that Test bailed him out.

Duncan 4

Kobe .5

That's why Kobe signed off on Artest's coming to LA.

If Kobe would a jacked that shot, and missed we would be stuck at :

Kobe: 4

tired old bag Duncan: 4

But, that ain't what happened.

Solly Cholly.

[Isitjustme?]

^Might be time to take a hypertension pill gramps...

[baseline bum]

James just getting his feet wet, tbh... has to be Kobe

So you're saying 6-24 > 6-14?

[Isitjustme?]

Seriously though,

O'Neal
Duncan
Wade

Wade's just played too few games to surpass Duncan atm

[Giuseppe]

Seriously though

[ElNono]

So you're saying 6-24 > 6-14?

Just saying Lebron has time to do worse, tbh

[TD 21]

Wade's 2006 Finals might have been the most impressive performance in Finals history, so it counts for something IMO..

Maybe in terms of sheer offense. But there's more to the game than scoring 30-35 ppg, even when they're by a player as spectacular as Wade. Duncan's '03 was the greatest all around performance I've ever seen. And he had far less help in '99 and '03 in particular than is remembered by the average fan. So I'm going Duncan, O'Neal, then Wade. Wade needs more than a Finals and a half before I'd even consider otherwise.

I'll say this for Wade though: His best is better than Bryant's best. I give Bryant the edge historically, because of his longevity and the gap accomplishment wise. But give Wade another 3-4 seasons at this level and I'll have to reconsider.

[DMC]

It has to be Kobe Bryant. He's been to 7 Finals. That's one more than MJ. He's been crucial in all of them, even if others contributed more. You cannot take 1.5 Finals and compare it to 7. You cannot take 2 MVPs and compare it to one. Wade was good in the Finals he played in, but lets not get all giddy and start sucking him off just yet.
