Pretty neat. Page 5 has more stats about game 7s.




Wade has the highest winning %, but completely blows in game 7s.

Kobe sucks ass in both elimination games and game 7s.

Lebron is generally very good, but has serious turnover issues in most elimination games, excluding game 7s, where he is a monster.

Dirk = undefeated in game 7s and arguably the best all around stats in elimination games

Duncan with surprisingly poor stats and winning % by his standards

[Michael Jordan.]

Kobefan generally ignores the facts.

Dirk's top 3 all time in elimination games. Guy just pours it out every single time and media still continued to on him prior to 2011.

Manu>Dirk
would rather have prime Manu instead of prime Dirk playing next to Duncan

[ambchang]

Dirk has always been underrated in his career up till 2011. I never believed that he was a choker, and that matchups geared towards stopping him is possible because the team constructed around him was not to his advantage.

As for Duncan, those are pretty much in line with his career numbers, and the winning % sucked because the Spurs have always been a team with at least one notable flaw. Once the Spurs run into a bad matchup (mid 00's Mavs for instance) or the opposition has figured out a way to beat them (early 00's Lakers by collapsing the lane, or Thunder by exploiting their lack of athleticism), the Spurs are relatively easy to beat.

[CitizenDwayne]

Mavfan bringing up a stat that makes Dirk look great and undermines Duncan and Kobe...

Shocking.

[Juggity]

2007 game 6 vs. Golden state. Terrible shooting performance overall, but at least Dirk knows when he's hurting the team and should stop shooting. To his credit, this prevented him from an infamous 6/24 type of game.

[Kyle Orton]

I miss prime dirk
golden state
breath

[Double-Up]

The Mailman

99’ G6 vs. POR – 8 PTS, 7 RBS, 6 AST, 0 STL, 2 BLK, 3 TOV, 3/16 FG, 0/0 3P, 2/3 FT L

lol rain, sleet, or snow...

Mavfan bringing up a stat that makes Dirk look great and undermines Duncan and Kobe...

Shocking.

lol yeah those stupid misleading stats like points, rebounds, turnovers, and shooting accuracy.

Shocking.

Someone feeling 6'ed

[CitizenDwayne]

Someone feeling 6'ed

I am. This offseason has been rough.

The only consolation is knowing I won't have to put up with Monta Ellis' once the season begins.

[TDMVPDPOY]

not 1 laker has come in here posted a rebuttal...truthbomb hurts

[AchillesHeel]

Hey, Kirby has a higher win % than MJ

[BUMP]

with the exception of game 6 at the Oracle, Dirk has always come up huge in elimination games

[Sean Cagney]

You are correct there. Tims last two elimination games though for his age are very very impressive! He gave it his all the last two years.

Dirk's top 3 all time in elimination games. Guy just pours it out every single time and media still continued to on him prior to 2011.

Talk about getting hated or unfairly ted on, look at T Macs stats! I always said he put up big numbers in the playoffs spite him not getting past round one, the dude gave it his all but his team would not be good enough for fall short.

Dirks numbers are great BTW, imporessive.
