I'll say again (oh, and Splitter also had a higher WS/48 in the 2014 playoffs than Kiwi, . The stat you insist on using
).
Anyhow, let's review all the facts.
Statistical facts:
WS:
Jordan '91: 0.282 per game
Lebron '12: 0.252 per game
Duncan '03: 0.245 per gam3
Bird '86: 0.233 per game
Shaq '01: 0.231 per game
Lebron '13: 0.226 per game
Kobe '01: 0.223 per game
Lebron '16: 0.223 per game
Kareem '80: 0.22 per game
Duncan '99: 0.217 per game
Wade '06: 0.208 per game
Magic '87: 0.205 per game
Bird '84: 0.2043 per game
Kiwi '19 0.2041 per game
Kiwi ranks 14th since the merger
BPM:
Again, 14th since the merger
PER:
8th since the merger
On/off (the best stat in the bunch):
Shaq, '02: +22.9
Duncan, '03: +23.1
Wade, '06: +22.2
Lebron, '12: +24.3
Lebron, '16: +21.1
Curry, 17: +20.6
Garnett, '08: +19.8
Dirk, '11: +16.8
Kawhi, '19: 15.9
9th since '01. So it stands to reason if on/off was recorded pre-01, he'd fall 5 to 10 places (also note, Draymond Green has higher on/offs than Kiwi, as well).
Contextual facts.
Despite Kawhitstorm's spinning, Kiwi had plenty of help, no more or no less than any other le team has contributed in aiding their superstar centerpiece. The much maligned "Fat Lowry" had a stellar +12.8 on/off which was higher than any of Kevin Durant's with the Warriors. So I don't want to hear any about as if it were just him and Smush Parker out there.
Every all-time great le run is capped off with dominating Finals closeout/back to the wall games. Okay, Kiwi himself in game 5. Time to step up in game 6 and drop 40. Nope. Kyle Lowry and Siakam were the Rap's two best players in game 6, and Andre Igoudala outscored him in the closeout game. I'll say it for the 600th time. "All time great" runs don't fizzle out like that, with the centerpiece player playing subpar in two consecutive closeout games. He's was also bad in game 1. And the most important fact is the Warriors were down KD for all but 10 minutes of the series and then lost a scorching Klay Thompson in game 6. Injuries are part of the game, but the Warriors injury badluck was unprecedented.
Kawhitstorm can
for the final reply.
There's no more argument to made other than qualitative "well, x player had more help, faced worse teams, etc, etc."
Note: Those stats were filtered using your re ed parameters, too, and Kiwi still doesn't rank top 5 in any of them
