Once MJ was in his prime he didn't really have elimination games
He's now 6-6 in elimination games and his averages are even better. Name me one other player with better numbers in elimination games, tbh.Just 15 days ago, he stared down the possibility of a season-ending loss in the Eastern Conference finals, tallying 32 points, eight rebounds and four assists to send the Pacers packing in Game 7. And, two years ago, James and the Heat took the court in Miami under virtually identical cir stances to their current predicament, trailing the Mavericks 3-2 in the 2011 Finals before losing Game 6 and conceding the le.
Tuesday will mark the 12th elimination game of James’ career. Through the first 11 games, James’ teams have a 5-6 record, and he has posted averages of 31.5 points, 10 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game. Some of the best performances of James’ career have come with his back against the proverbial wall: Game 6 against the Celtics in last year’s Eastern Conference finals (45 points and 15 rebounds), Game 5 against the Magic in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals (a 37/14/12 triple-double) and Game 7 against the Celtics in the 2008 Eastern Conference semifinals (45/5/6 in a loss), to name three.

Jeez some people are so quick to annoint Lebron as the GOAT when he's only won two rings smh.
I really hope your not serious.
LeGOAT, tbh....
He's got him. After it's all said and done, there will be no argument, tbh....LeBron James Elimination Game Averages:
31.9 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 6.5 APG, 1.4 SPG, .6 BPG, 4.5 TOPG, 46.5 FG%, 31.4 3P%, 73.8 FT%
Michael Jordan Elimination Game Averages:
31.3 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.0 APG, 2.1 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 4.2 TOPG, 45.8 FG%, 33.3 3P%, 75.7 FT%
lol, bronbron will never get a 3rd ring, and he didn't even deserve the 2nd
he's not inferior to Jordan, he's ABSURDLY inferior to him
OP
Lol at creating a thread that has people replying with "when it's all said and done", when Jordan already did it
Too easy, tbh.
Bottom line: He (Lebron) may very well be the most gifted athlete in the history of the game, but that does not automatically make him the greatest. He lost his chance at being the greatest when he left Cleveland to join Wade's team.
Oh how people are quick to forget.
Wade 15 ppg in the Playoffs last year, can barely stay on the court this year. Lebron just had a huge game and hit a GW on a step back 3. GOAT, tbh.
No he is not. Jordans finals stats are what you should look at, post his finals stats and then you will see there is no comparison yet. Jordan also had ridiculous playoff averages as well! Jordan would not average less than 2 pts in the forth quarter of a finals series like Lebron did against the Mavs, NEVER. He has a wayyyyyyyyys to go to get on MJ's level, not quite there yet.
Yeah can barely stand on the court this year, despite him haveing a career year in shooting percentage. You are obviously still clinging to the massive erection you received last night after watching Lebron drain that 3, which is no suprise because it was a of a shot. But to be so quick and deem Lebron as the GOAT, from a regular season game?
Come on dude I expect better. As always:
6>2
Lets bring this topic up again when he gets at least 4 rings.
Are Lebron jockers any better tbh?
The only player fans worse than the Jordan Jockers are the Kirby stans
Wade is more efficient in a reduced role? You don't say. Lowest FGA since his rookie season. The dude has missed how many games this season? Now he has a nerve issue in his leg, it keeps getting worse for him every single year.
Compare King's 2013 cast to anything of MJ's, MJ has the better coach and the better robin, bar none.
It's laughable to compare MJ's Finals stats to Lebron's, when MJ faced worse defenses in the Finals his entire career, the best defensive team he faced had a Drtg of 102.
Are you seriously neglecting the fact that the Eastern Conference teams that LBJ has faced in his multiple trips to the finals (outside of the 08-10 Celtics) are severely inferior to the teams that MJ faced? Its pretty been a cakewalk to the ECF for LBJ for the past 6 years.
And while I agree that Pippen @ 32 was better than (in my opinion) than Wade is currently, lets not dismiss the talent of Wade. We all know that he coasts during the regular season but come playoff time he always has an alpha mindset. Just because he averages 15ppg during the playoffs doesnt mean he doesn't affect the game in many ways that doesn't show on the box score. He is still a premier perimeter defender (just ask Danny Green during Game 6 and 7) and always turns it up in the 4th when it matters most.
As for coaching yes Phil is the superior coach, but Spoelstra has made strides especially during their previous playoff runs. and remember, Phil was an unkown until Michael showed up. The same should apply to Lebron and Spoelstra.
I seriously hope you are trolling because if you fully believe that at this point Lebron>Jordan, I need to have whatever it is your smoking.
Dude. Wade is NOT coasting. You saw him in the Playoffs last year. The man is worn down, he's having career-ending issues with his knees and his foot. This is not a ing joke. Lebron won a le with Wade playing below all-star level in the Playoffs and Bosh scoring 0 points in Game 7 of the Finals. If you think Lebron had a lot of help last year you're delusional.
The teams that MJ faced though? How many of them do you remember without googling? Maybe the Jazz and the 91 Lakers in the Finals? Lebron beat the Thunder in 2012 with KD averaging 30 ppg on above 50% shooting, he beat Tim Duncan, who is arguably a top 5 all-time player in the Finals. How the aren't they comparable to teams that MJ faced?
Bron has been at his best with his back against the wall, for the past 2 years, he's had to drag his team to a victory being down 2-3 in a series, 2012 vs Celtics Game 6 he had one of the greatest Playoff games EVER, 2013 he had the Headband game, 32 point triple double in the Finals.
so basically the "good jockers" are the group you are a part of and the "bad jockers" are the ones who disagree with you lolThe only player fans worse than the Jordan Jockers are the Kirby stans
Exactly. All you non-believers are gots.
