what's pathetic is your insecurity. this thread was no jab at player or fan base. scoring 50 point doesn't make a good game. so please, contribute to this thread, or stop posting.

my idol is Horace Grant, WTH are talking about?

[PP34Deuce]

Mj is number 1 but he Kobe and lebron are not far behind..

Mj had scoring
Kobe had stretches

nice didn't see that. so where all the kobe and mj fans at. what were their best playoff games? lets see them

[Mr Feeny]

Game 7 of 2016 was nowhere near his top 15 games. It wasn't even a great game, necessarily. He shot 9-24 and went scoreless the last 5-6 minutes on 0-4 shooting and was missing on isolations against steph. He's had much better games.

Just because it was the game in which they won the title, it doesn't mean it was one of his best games.

Game 6 against the spurs is popularizing. He played awful through 3 quarters, then went into God mode for 10 and a half minutes to bring the Heat back from the brink, and then immediately went 1-3 with 2 TO's in the final minute and the heat would have lost had Ray Allen not saved them. I believe lebron had 2 points in overtime. It wasn't his best.

Game 6 in 2016 and game 6 against Boston in 2012 I agree with. Detroit ofcourse. But game 6 in 2013 and game 7 in 2016 were not all time great performances.
