Jordan has multiple playoffs over 34ppg and 6 Finals MVP awards. I don't know why you people are buying into this crap but it's not the first time you've posted foolishness. Whatever.
Yes, one play by a guard out-maneuvering a center for a shot should negate the totality of a player's contributions. I see where the OP is going with this.....
Yea not to mention Duncan beat KG in the playoffs in '99. '99 was actually a historic run. The Spurs went 15-2 against their opponents. The only better performance up until that time might have been the '83 Sixers, and that was a manufactured team due to Moses joining them.
Definitely not. He's been hurt to start this post season and as a result he's looked kinda OK compared to his usual post season self. Even though his 2024 regular season was much better than his past regular seasons. It's better to make this position specific and ask if he's been offensively better than Magic or Steph.
Yea, I was about to say this. Robinson led the team in scoring in 1998, so maybe he meant Duncan's rookie year? And like you mentioned, 3/4 of the games, Robinson had more FGA. So it's possible Sheed is just thinking of the first year. But anyone who watched '99 onward knew who the ball was going to.
Unclear about the answer to the question but it's obvious Holiday makes the Celtics better. The Celts have enough offensive firepower in Tatum, Brown, and White. They don't need Jrue on that end but he still delivers- having big nights like 10-16 recently when they need him and shooting 40% from 3 in the playoffs.
But obv. his big...
The real regret is firing Budenholzer, who was our defensive mastermind (at least in the regular season). It could’ve worked out for the better if we replaced him with, say, Nick Nurse, but the odds were generally against landing a better HC otherwise (as proven with Griffin and Doc).
Sure, losing Jrue didn’t help, but HCs tend to be bigger...
Kenny is doing this thing where he pauses a long time before he says something to give it more weight. But then he just delivers the same mundane take he would anyhow. The first few years of Inside the NBA were the best; too bad it got widespread acclamation after those years.
He won the 2016 Finals as the big 1 without any all-stars that year. Plus the idea of calling Love part of a big 3 in that Finals in laughable.
Who were the big 3 in the 2015 Finals besides Iggy, Curry, Klay and Draymond?
Lebron
0-1 with Big 1
1-1 with Big 2
3-4 with Big 3
He's been to 7 straight Finals with Big 3 but never been to 2 straight Finals with a Big 2. When he forms his next Big 3, he'll win 3 straight Finals and surpass Jordan with 7 championships.
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.
