On a different stratosphere than Bron. Bron is top ten if we're talking regular season but reg season doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. lulz.

Playing on a stacked team to cheap rings does not get you respect from intelligent bball fans.

LeBron stans want to make everyone believe there is some sort of conspiracy against him or some shit, ... of course! Delusional fans don't want to accept that Bron isn't in the same class as MJ, Bird, Magic, Kareem, Or Durant.

Westbrook averages 27/7/7 in the finals.

At the end of the day, the finals are the only games that matter.

:oldlol: @ Bron and Wilt not being on the list.

Chamberlain only played in one Final in his "scoring" seasons, and all he could do was put up a 29 ppg 28 rpg .517 series (in a post-season that averaged 106 ppg on a .420 eFG% BTW)...against Russell, whom many regard as the greatest defensive center in the history of the game.) And in that series Wilt had games in which he just annihilated Russell (as well as three 30+ point games...in five games overall.) Hell, Wilt averaged 24 FGAs in that series. Had he taken the 30 FGAs that Hakeem averaged in '95, and in a post-season NBA that had an eFG% of .504 like Hakeem's, he would have averaged 40 ppg!

Wilt also murdered Thurmond in the '67 Finals, with an 18 ppg 29 rpg .560 series. The same Thurmond who never allowed KAJ to shoot better than .486 in their three playoff series, and in fact, held him to two other series of .428 and .405 (while outscoring and outshooting him.)

Chamberlain, only four months after major knee surgery, put up the only 20-20 .600 FG% series in Finals history ( 23 ppg, 24 rpg, and a .625 FG%), which included a must win game of 45-27.

BTW, Wilt was not only never outrebounded in any of his six Finals series, he was outrebounding his opposing starting centers by huge margins in the majority of them. And, he not only was never outshot from the field in any of those six Finals, he was outshooting his opposing starting centers (ALL of whom are in the HOF BTW), by staggering margins.

Of course, had Wilt not been saddled with pathetic rosters early in his career, and had to face the greatest dynasty in major US professional team sports history, he would likely hold many Finals scoring records. For instance, in the '62 EDF's, his team lost a game seven by two points to the Celtics. Russell would go on to put up a 23 ppg, 27 rpg, .543 FG% Finals against the Lakers, which included a game seven of 30 points and 40 rebounds. Think about this...in nine regular season games against the Lakers that season, Wilt averaged 51.5 ppg, which included three games of 60+, and a high game of 78 points and 43 rebounds.

And in the '65 EDF's, Wilt took his 40-40 Sixers to a game seven, one point loss, against Russell's 62-18 Celtics, with a 30 ppg, 31 rpg, .555 FG% series. Russell. Russell, who was just shelled in that series against Wilt, would go on to put up an 18 ppg, 25 rpg, .702 FG% series against the Lakers in the Finals. And in the following season, Chamberlain pummeled Russell again in the EDF's with a 28 ppg, 30 rpg, .509 series. Russell then went on to put up a 24 ppg, 24 rpg, .538 series against LA in the Finals.

Of course, Wilt also won a FMVP at age 35, with a 19 ppg, 23 rpg, .600 series against the Knicks, in which he averaged 7.4 bpg. And in the clinching game five win, he put up a 24 point, 29 rebound (the entire NY team had 39 BTW), 10-14 FG/FGA, 8 block game.

But, yes, lets laugh at Wilt in his Finals....

And only a complete idiot would tell you that Magic could not have scored much more had he so chosen. Hell, he put up a 42 point game in his rookie season in the Finals. And in '87, he averaged 26 ppg, 8 rpg, 13 apg, .541, and .960 against the Celtics. Had he been intent on scoring, and he would easily have averaged over 30 ppg in that series.

BTW, while Bird averaged slightly more ppg in their career H2H's (and on a far worse FG%), it must be pointed out that Magic had the two highest scoring games in those career H2H's. Here again, Magic could have scored much more had he been inclined.

Kobe - 13 out of 38 finals game = 34%

I like how 32 points in the finals is a big feat for LeBron.. :lol

Jordan ****ing AVERAGED 40 in a finals series.

If you've been to the finals 4 times and don't even average 30 PPG once that's pathetic if people are gonna act like you're a top 10 player of all time.

Hell Durant in his first finals appearance averaged 30 PPG and did it on higher efficency than LeBron has ever had in the playoffs. And this was with the refs working against him too.

This is why most people say Durant is likely gonna go down as higher on the alltime lists. Better playoff performer who didn't quit on his team and team up with 2 other all stars to win rings the easy way

sooner or later he will get higher in that list as well.

Haha, Wilt played 35 games in the finals and he only managed to put up 30 or more 4 times, that is weak and only shows that the high scoring Wilt was no where to be found in the finals.

The "high-scoring" Wilt only played in ONE Final. And he absolutely trashed Russell in it with a 29 ppg, 28 rpg, .517 series (again, in a post-season NBA that shot .420 overall.) Furthermore, had he taken 30 FGAs in that series, instead of "only" 24, and in a post-season NBA that shot an eFG% of .504, instead of only .420, like Hakeem did in '95, and his numbers would have translated to 40 ppg.

Oh, and in that '64 Finals, Chamberlain scored 30+ points in three of the five games, or 60% of the time...all on only 24 FGAs per game in the series (and again, against Russell, in what is widely regarded as his greatest defensive season.)

However, a "scoring" Wilt, in his first 52 playoff games, averaged 32.8 ppg, 26.4 rpg, and shot .505 from the field (and in post-seasons in which the NBA shot about .425 from the field), and 30 of those 52 games were against Russell. Hell, in his first 67 playoff games, he AVERAGED 30.4 ppg, 27.0 rpg, 4.5 apg, probably 8+ bpg, and shot .515 from the field (in NBA post-seasons that shot about .425 in that span.) Included were FOUR games of 50+, including one against Russell, and three of which came in "must-win" games. Oh, and he also had another "must-win" game against Russell of 46 points (and 34 rebounds.) And in those 67 playoff games, he faced Russell 35 times (and Thurmond in six.)

Find me another player in NBA history to post a 30-27-5-8 .515 SERIES...much less one who did it in his his first 67 games...COMBINED. You would probably be hard-pressed to find a player who ever accomplished all of that in one playoff GAME, much less against HOF players who are generally regarded as the greatest defensive centers in NBA history.

So much for the "weak" crap...

Translation:
I stopped right here because Lebron might have been next. I didn't want to include his name because he has 5 games with 30 or more points, and that wouldn't help my agenda.


translation: There are almost 10 other ****ing players with 4-5 30pt games in the finals and since there were a few players with 7, and none with 6, then 7 became the cut off

If i was really tryin to do them like that i would have listed the next 10 players like this..

Iverson - 4 30pt games in 1 finals appearance

Lebron - 4 30pt games in 5 finals appearances

but I didn't, so shut your Jlip and hop off my dick

Regular season

Finals

So much for "clutch"...

It's not like Jordan lost 3 times in the first round while Lebron has never lost in the first round before :rolleyes:


While MJ never missed the playoffs in his prime. :no:

Your combination of arrogance and ignorance is shameful. I kind of feel sorry for you.
