Heck, even if you take away just his rookie season and his 2 postseasons that only consisted of a few minutes each (1967+1974), his ppg average comes at 30.1. Also, in these postseasons, only once was he healthy and missed the Finals (1964).

Why? Dude is an 82% career FT shooter and has shot 47% for career eFG. Can't spin it any other way.

Huh? If you take away more low years, shouldn't it be higher than the OP?

OP, which calculations did you exactly make on this, give some more info you **** (sorry)

OP, I apologize but I have to make a reference to the GOAT. In 179 playoff games, these are his averages.

33.45 PPG
28.60 PER
6.4 RPG
5.7 APG
2.1 SPG
.9 BPG

Now we can go back to discussing the mortals. :cheers:

Imagine what he could've done if they had three pointers back then.

I didn't take away more low years, the OP did. I only took out West's rookie season and...a total of 15 more minutes of play, to show how close West was to averaging 30 ppg in his career. Even if you take away only those 15 minutes, his averages still round up to 30.
Of course, if we are to look at only West's prime years (1962-71 - still a whole decade), his numbers would become even godlier.

There's an argument for Kobe, but not Wade.

He used the 1964-70 stretch, consisting of 81 games.

This, I used the totals for those games, minus the one he only played a minute in.
