On 33fga per game. Not hard to lead your team in scoring when you're taking 90% of the FGA while your sidekick leads in rebounds, assists, blocks and steals.

See this is what I’m alluding to with your predictions. The Celtics very well might win the series should Dallas hold on against Minny. And if so, you’ll claim to be this genius.
When in reality you’ll have made the exact same prediction for the same reasons on 3 occasions and been right once.
Nanners put on a tin foil hat just because he's a sheep and the right told him to put one on. But Doomsday Dallas is actually just insane.
Tinfoil culture is for the dumbest of the dumb.
AD was arguably not the sidekick in 2020, since he led the Lakers in scoring for the regular season and playoffs, while also leading the entire league for the playoffs and dominating Jokic in the "real" Finals.
Since AD was arguably the 1st option in 2020, your argument fails..
Of course, I've always believed that Lebron's ring count should...
Jordan averaged 36/7/8 for the 91-93' Finals and 34/7/7 for the 91-93' Playoffs, and 35/7/7 for the 85-93' Playoffs.
41/9/6 in the 93' Finals with only a 90 pace and facing a top 10 defensive team.
All this with great shooting efficiency (including threes) and great efficiency per possession (low turnovers)
Oh, and all this while WINNING...
In today's game, getting a 3-peat or dynasty isn't a good thing - it's all about winning only 1 chip and then getting massively destroyed every other year... Then leave the franchise in shambles.. this is the new goat standard.
Btw, we also know HOW the Mavs will lose the Finals - they will lose 3 straight games to lose the series once the Celtics solve Luka-ball the same way opponents solved Bron-ball - Bron lost 3 straight games to lose nearly every series that he lost, as opponents figured out bron-ball and couldn't lose thereafter.
Wade was not the best sidekick while they were winning chips, he was actually the worst if you just include their 2013 run. He wasn't even top 10 in 2012, probably has a discussion for it. AD was his best sidekick in 2020.
Why didn’t you properly embed this video? You did it on your previous post. What happened with this one? What happened to you in those 12 minutes between posts?
I disagree... Kyrie and Brown are comparable - Kyrie has the far better resume and accomplishments.
After that, Luka has a bunch of really great role players and so do the Celtics...
I think it's extremely even but Tatum will win due to superior chemistry that results from his skillset, while the Mavs are saddled with a brand of ball that...
Wade was the best sidekick that dominated the 2011 Playoffs and Finals, but Lebron simply couldn't fit with Wade due to Lebron's reliance on ball-dominance and lack of expert jumpshooting skill.
Btw, AD won a game off the 2018 Warriors with zero help, while Lebron was blown away by record amount - this shows that AD was a better 2-way player...
Luka's ball-domination produced a bunch of upheavals with Porzingas, Brunson and now Kyrie, while Tatum's expert jumpshooting produced great chemistry and stable chemistry that didn't require upheavals..
So do the Celtics really have more talent, or did they just develop great chemistry over time and have stable chemistry due to Tatum's expert...
Yes and no.
Bucks defense fell off a cliff without Jrue even when they were all healthy, but Jrue is getting up there in age so it's not like they are killing themselves over it.
Bosh wasn't his sidekick... Wade and Kyrie were the sidekicks and they made the Finals without Lebron,
so for Lebron to win as the 1st option, he needs a sidekick that made the Finals without him and he also needs 2 perennial all-stars as teammates.
These are not playoff statistics. In the playoffs he's averaging 28 points and 9 assists. I don't even get why OP made this stupid thread or why you want to go along with this idiocy but calling a guy that has set no records and won no championship the greatest playoff performer ever is stupid.
Celtics will win, but only because they have more talent.
Just how "ball-dominant" Magic went 2-1 against "expert jump shooter" Bird in the Finals. Magic usually had a bit more talent around him.
Can he live off a double pin down?
I rest my case
Luka is a ball-dominator, which isn't an expert jumpshooter..
Tatum routinely catches the ball at the elbow and squares up against his man from the triple-threat - then he just pops a jumper without even dribbling - that's expert jumpshooting..
Ball-dominant jumpshooting isn't expert...
Lebron did that with 3 different teams - he was destroyed by record amount or swept with 3 different teams...
He had similar records to 1-9 against many opponents and with 3 different teams... And in his prime with 2 all-star teammates!!..
He's the biggest fraud in sports history - the biggest loser in history is branded as the goat - it's...
You know Luka is more of an expert jump shooter than Tatum, right? He's a career 45.6% shooter from 10-16 and 40.6% shooter on long 2s and has developed into a good volume 3PT shooter as well, and he actually shoots mid-range shots at a decent volume, unlike most superstars.
Why does he get credit for winning with 3 teams when he underachieved with 3 teams - he mostly lost with 3 different teams and was massively destroyed with 3 different teams.
He was swept or record loss with 3 different teams.
In today's game, getting a 3-peat or dynasty isn't a good thing - it's all about winning only 1 chip and then...
I was being nice by calling them "theories"
It's literally the historical record that ball-dominators like Lebron mostly lose, regardless of cast
luka will be the same way - he'll get destroyed in the Finals by an expert jumpshooter or fundamental big just like Lebron was destroyed by Dirk, Duncan, and Curry.
Is OP really 3ball? Every single post/thread 3ball has made in the last few months is wrong. Like literally every thread and post. Usually he gets 1 out of every 20 threads correct, but he's missing on everything recently.
