Top 5 Perimeter players that averaged 6 assists or more in the postseason?

[mehyaM24]

bird
magic
lebron

anyone else?

really, its no coincidence these players made their teams ELITE from the jump. bird, magic , and lebron immediately after being drafted put their franchises on the map. the greatest do-it-all players ever, imo.

The Cavs were pretty good before LeBron got there.


They have a history of good players. And there best time to do some serious damage they just unluckily ran into the GOAT.

eh, prior to lebron being drafted, they were awful for an extended period there.

thoughts on these players superior playmaking skills?

The last time they made the playoffs before lebron got drafted was 98. No they were not "pretty good"

I meant as a "franchise on a map" like you wrote OP.


I realized after I clicked post reply that I should have been more clear. Obviously not right before. They were in the lotto for a while. They just made some bad picks,

Mihm, Diop, Wagner. Only Andre Miler in 99 turned out good while on the Cavs.

That LeBron mix is one of the best I've seen. Simple editing, music, but everything just seems to work. Great stuff.

fatal9 and merkin videos are always nice if you're a fan of the 80s and 90s game.

Of those 3, only Magic and Bird made the playoffs the first year they joined their team. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:


Truly amazing impact.

bump: anybody else?


what about ervng's stats in the ABA? i believe at one point the ABA was on par with the NBA.

Wade 6 apg from 2004-2010

Wade 6 apg from 2004-2010

for a 6 year stretch , there would be more than a handful.

im talking about CAREERS.

not sure there are more. i think magic , bird and lebron being on the list REALLY shows how awesome and consistent these guys were as playmakers. of course they just happen to be the all around BEST players.

[GrapeApe]

I don't feel like looking it up but West? Big O?

[mehyaM24]

I don't feel like looking it up but West? Big O?

good call - but do people rate them above the doctor? i count his ABA days so im a bit biased.

the undisputed list:
lebron
magic
bird
west
robertson

would like more info on doc. maybe some ABA heads can clarify :confusedshrug:

I understand what you meant and I agree with you. The Cavs had some potentially great teams with Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, John Williams, and Larry Nance they had a young Ron Harper at one point also. Like you said, they just kept running into MJ. I used to use them all the time on the old ball games because they always had a good all around team, they were fun to use. Old NBA Live games, Tecmo NBA Basketball, NBA Showtime, etc.....

The Lakers were already a playoff team...

[riseagainst]

Magic and Bird are certainly two of the greatest ever. Those 2 are definitely at the top with at least 6 assists a game.
