2012 LeBron was the GOAT playoff run

He had to go through 4 Hall of fame small forwards and destroyed them all

He had the greatest single game playoff performance ever against the Celtics
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BasicAlienatedAyeaye-size_restricted.gif

And too top it off he beat the most talented team the league has seen in the past 30+ years

https://i.postimg.cc/GmCfZ3B3/image.png

All whilst recording the highest PER and win shares in a single championship run of anyone ever :bowdown: :bowdown:

2012 is the biggest in LeBron's legacy because he finally got over the hump, made up for this lackluster 2011, smashed everyone in this path en route to the biggest pressure moment in NBA history

2012, ECF game 6 in Boston, down 3-2 after 2011 blunder and what did he do?

45-15-5 on 73% :pimp:

Then he shredded up the Red Hot Triple MVP 12-3 Thunder in 5 games

Also, people never mention this part but Wade and Bosh CHOKED in that game so thank god LeGod went into LeGod mode or it would have been an ECF exit

Wade (6/17) and Bosh (3/8) combined for 9/25 24 points on 36% shooting

How great is our god :bowdown:

I was talking about the raw stats (37/7/7 in 90')

but lebron is DEFINITELY a better loser, you are correct

if losing is the objective, then lebron-ball beats mj-ball all day and twice on Sunday.. lebron's losing against Dwight Trannard was goat - I've never seen a -550 favorite execute a loss so well

Otoh, MJ's goat winning stats in 1991 toppled 2 dynasties..... ENDED them actually

You missed my edit

I was talking about raw stats like Jordan's 37/7/7 in 90'..

that's the goat losing raw stats..

and mj has goat winning raw stats and advanced too... So lebron only has goat losing advanced (1 out of 4).. it sounds perfect for him actually - he's advanced at losing :lol

Um...Yeah.

In 2009 LeBron did 39/8/8 on 49% in ECF vs #1 Defense

Bye

[3ball]

Um...Yeah.

In 2009 LeBron did 39/8/8 on 49% in ECF vs #1 Defense

Bye

For the whole playoff run - MJ did 37/7/7 for the entire playoff run.. bye




And MJ had many series greater than 39/8/8 on 49%:



45/10/7 on 61% in 92' 1st Round.. :eek:

43/7/7 on 55% in 90' ECSF (4.0 spg)

45/5/5 on 56% in 88' 1st Round

44/6/6 on 50% in 86' 1st Round

40/8/6 on 52% in 89' 1st Round

41/9/6 on 50% in 93' Finals

36/10/8 on 56% in 89 ECSF

[Manny98]

Imagine bragging about stats in the 1st round :roll: :roll: :roll:

[3ball]

Imagine bragging about stats in the 1st round :roll: :roll: :roll:
Against the goat team with 5 HOF and the #1 defense?

Lebron never faced that in ANY round, let alone average 44 against it

Of course, I listed 7 series where mj's stats were better than lebron's Orlando series and 3 of them weren't 1st rd

- goat raw losing stats - MJ

- goat advanced losing stats - Lebron


- goat raw winning stats - MJ

- goat advanced winning stats - MJ


^^^^ So lebron is 1/4

[TheCorporation]

- goat raw losing stats - MJ

- goat advanced losing stats - Lebron


- goat raw winning stats - MJ

- goat advanced winning stats - MJ


^^^^ So lebron is 1/4

Raw losing is 100% LeBron in 2009 vs #1 defense and DPOY Orlando Magic

39/8/8 on 49% :no:

Raw winning is also LeBron in 2016
30-11-9 on 49% with 2.6 spg and 2.3 bpg against the 73 win Warriors

MJ is probably not ahead in any of these :lol

[AlternativeAcc.]

Why couldn't Jordan elevate his teammates instead of playing Westbrook ball? Celtics murdered the Bulls, Jordan's stats were meaningless and played into the Celtics gameplan

Lmao at being excited about it, yikes

41/9/6 with 20 more than 2nd option (1 man show) > 30/11/9 with equal scoring partner and closer

The former beat Barkley in 6, while the latter needed 7 games, a suspension and bailout shot to beat the local paperboy curry

And all those series posted at the top > 38/8/8 stat-padding in a massive upset loss

[Gileraracer]

1. LeBron - .388 (14 games, 2009)


Damn, this must've been an easy ring. Right?

[Leviathon1121]

What would LeBron fans say if Jordan lost to Dwight Howard while having homecourt advantage and being the overwhelming, maybe even unanimous favorite?

[FKAri]

What would LeBron fans say if Jordan lost to Dwight Howard while having homecourt advantage and being the overwhelming, maybe even unanimous favorite?
I'd say at least it wasn't Nick Anderson.

Not great enough for Dwight Howard apparently.

Shaq/Penny >>>>>> Dwight/Hedo

And Lebron was coming off his best season in 09', while MJ was coming off baseball

The Bulls also didn't have homecourt and weren't favored like the Cavs were

So some pretty big differences there... Night and day
