Over the last 22 years (I believe 98 MJ is next at 32.4ppg on 47.4 EFG%).

Lebron 2009 - 35.3ppg on 55.3 EFG%, 14 games, 41.4mpg
Lebron 2018 - 34ppg on 57.7 EFG%, 22 games, 41.9mpg
Iverson 2001 - 32.9ppg on 42.5 EFG%, 22 games, 46.2mpg
Lebron 2017 - 32.8ppg on 62.2 EFG% (wow), 18 games, 41.3mpg

So, Iverson is barely in there, but his efficiency is FAR below Lebron's and Iverson was amazingly playing 46mpg. Really, Lebron has the three most dominant playoff scoring runs post-MJ and he was HIGHLY efficient in all of them. These runs weren't short either, not to mention he was averaging between 7-9 assists during those runs.

Offensive juggernaut.

Kawhi Leonard 732 total points on 62% TS vs stiff defense teams led by Embiid and Giannis. Greatest scoring playoff run in NBA history.

Certainly a great run. Not the best scoring run in history obviously. Your gimmick is as boring as Kawhi.

Kawhi 2019 - 30.5ppg on 54.5 EFG%, 24 games, 39.1mpg
Lebron 2018 - 34ppg on 57.7 EFG%, 22 games, 41.9mpg

Lebron in 2018 had 748 points (more than Kawhi) and played 17 minutes less total. Lebron also shot 61.9TS% (same TS% as Kawhi). Lebron was a better scorer from the floor than Kawhi, but Kawhi was a better free throw shooter.

Kawhi didn't quite have enough volume to make the list in the OP. In fact, 2019 KD would be 5th on this list and was playing better than Kawhi before he got injured.

TS is the best measure of scoring efficiency. Total points is also the best measure of a playoff scoring run because players get exhausted as the playoff run goes on.

Kawhi had to face Embiid/Butler defense and a Giannis/Lopez defense, that is way more difficult competition then 2018 LeBron.

Durant is fools gold, he played his entire playoffs against awful clippers/rockets defense. ESPN still pulled up Durant/Kawhi stats at the time of Durant's injury and Kawhi was superior. Like I said, the deeper the playoff run goes is what matters because players get exhausted. Notice 1992 Jordan advanced stats are the worst of his 1st 3peat? Because he took on a massive minute load.

None of this is worth responding to in a serious manner.

Durant lit up the 21st and 17th ranked defense for 10 games. That's clearly more impressive then Kawhi's 732 point load against Embiid and Butler defense. Where do you come up with atrocious opinions like this?

Oh and I hate TS because LeBron can't shoot freethrows. Delete your account.

Homer logic is no proof against reality.

Never was, never will be.

Doesn't matter which player you stan for.

They're all great but flawed players. The difference is that homer logic picks one of them and pretends that their resume is unimpeachable.

Fun Fact: Jordan has 4 of the top 11 playoff scoring runs in NBA history. LBJ? Zero.

That Elgin Baylor has two of the top 10, or that Bob McAdoo has one too, or that Bryant is 34th on the top 50, does not mean shit either.

LeBron led his.team in Finals scoring 8 times. MJ 6. No one else has more than 5 but them.

Jordan averaged 37 in 86-90' playoffs (5 years)

I think he averaged 36 in 93' and

35/7/7 in 85-93' playoffs

Shut down what? My OP clearly states that Lebron has had the best playoff scoring runs POST-MJ.

MJ is clearly the GOAT scorer.

Hard to shut something down that I agree with. But clearly you and a bunch of other posters don't want to discuss Lebron's scoring ability and are immediately deflecting for some reason.

Legoat also has the top 3 finals getting spanked around by. Getting tossed and passed around like a sloppy second. Something he and his stans are use to now

Those are impressive scoring runs. Thanks for sharing. Peak LeBron (2009/2018) is the best player post Jordan. Those numbers actually rival peak Jordan's, ironically.

And LeBron did it while leading elite offenses too in those playoff runs. Their adjusted offense ranks 3rd, 1st and 3rd in 09/17/18. Unsurprisingly I would also consider those his 3 best offensive versions (2010 and 2014 round out the top 5).

Also while passing the ball. 9 assists per game in 18', for instance.

They are pretending MJ played against Ewing, Barkley, Malone, and other superstars at different positions versus his actual match ups.
