Top 5 is made up of 2009, 2012, 2017, 2018 LeBron and one of '67 Wilt/'80 Kareem/'90-'92 MJ/'00-'01 Shaq. '94-'95 Hakeem close behind.
The order is yours.
What say you?

Statistically it's not even close. Although I'm sure some haters will try to spin it another way; however...
We've never seen a better individual player than LeBron James.
Point Blank.

All over '12, '13, or '16 LeBron?
Definitely over '13 LeBron.
Probably not over '16 LeBron.
For sure not over '12 LeBron.

#3 - Barry 75
#4 - Dirk 11

'93 laid an egg in the ECF.
Knicks defense controlled him.
MJ shot 35% outside of game 4
'90 MJ was betta

That's 1-man show efficiency
MJ was a 1-man show on offense for all his playoff runs - always 10-30 ppg more than Pippen in every series
Whereas Magic, Bird, Kobe, Lebron - you name it - they all had equal scoring partners for most or all of their rings
MJ is the only guy that never had a teammate that closed or required a double-double-team (1-man show)

Forget efficiency, advanced numbers garbage, just from what you know they went through and how they did it. Also, 06 Wade will never make a list for me because of the controversy surrounding it (similar to the 16 run but not as bad)

Don't bother explaining anything to this stupid douchebag.
He didn't watch anything from that run. He beats his little German pecker off to Basketball Reference like a 15 year old does porn.
He only started watching basketball this decade.

What a time
Kenny so insecure about his idol that he chooses to put his fingers in his ears and scream 'lalala' when ever anyone suggests LeBron might be better.
No matter how considered and objective the opinion is, he can't just agree to disagree. It's the kind of behavior I'd expect of my 6 year old son.

sounds like 12 lebron tbf.
18 lebron had like 2 mediocre games but his best games were even better, noticeably better in fact, than 91 mj's best..
same for 17 lebron, who had 1 bad game with the ecf g3, but was absolutely knocking it out of the park in all other games and toying with his opposition.. still remember him abusing Boston in the TD Garden, playing around at the top of the key doing goofy dribbling and then blowing by for buckets

Get outta here. Anything Eastern related after 2015 is not going to count when it was a JV conference night in and out of the playoffs. Then he goes 1-8 in two Finals series. Yes GS is an All Time team but the stats are so skewed to almost a padding level because of the lack of significance.
91 MJs games mattered. 18 Brons didn't. They'll be forgotten soon enough because it didn't lead to anything special.
You should've just named this 5 best statistical playoff runs with no context ever

the 91 run was relatively easy to be fair. No Knicks, no big 3 cavs etc. I'm sticking to my old point however because mj just didnt have a bad game that year. Helps that they only lost twice too, no one cares that mj may have only put up like 20 one game when they won comfortably. Bron had at least a couple worse in losses vs Ind, Bos and/or GS last year. I get a little peeved when someone brings up the Pistons in 91 however. You know they were a shell of themselves, it's just some intellectual dishonesty.

No context?
Context will only lift 2018 further.
This cant be discussed with you.
You dont even know or forgot what MJ's 91 competition was, lol.
Go be a dumbass somewhere else
