LeBron easily. The change in LeBron's level of play from regular season to post-season is actually better than most superstars. LeBron has one egregious series - 2011. That's really it. Maybe 07 Spurs but they had no business being there if not for one of the greatest clutch performances in NBA history.

I felt that Wilt's legacy was getting tarnished, and underrated in this forum, but Lebron was the better playoffs performer.

Did you read the rest of the post or not? Nobody expected the Cavs or gave them a chance to win that series. I remember the betting line was like 4:1...which is ridiculous for an NBA Finals series. But yeah I also forgot 08 Celtics which wasn't great...not sure if i'd call it flat out awful though. 08 Cs were an ATG defense.

Lebron averaged 35.5 points in 08 vs celtics...you tripping? http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap/_/id/280518002/gameId/280518002/cleveland-cavaliers-vs-boston-celtics

Lebrons only bad series were against the 2011 mavs and then the 07 spurs(very inefficient though) but he was very young, team had obviously no business being their, and spurs had a prime tim duncan in the paint with bruce bowen guarding lebron and they stacked the paint.

Given the context it was a maybe. They had no business being there in the first place if it weren't for a historic performance.

He shot 35.5 %...not averaged 35.5....08 was pre-prime LeBron though....he was the only threat on a team with an ATG defense.

Only #NoExcuse loss he had was '11.
