22 years old LeBron scoring 48 points in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals

[Lebron23]

Unbelievable performance by the King. Just watched the game on youtube again. LeBron dominated the Pistons at the Palace.

Peak 22-year old performance

Jordan... 63 vs goat Celtics

Lebron... 48 vs 53-win Pistons


Iverson, Dwight, and Kidd all had comparable or better stats while carrying weak casts to the Finals... so it was standard for weak teams to win the conference, yet Lebron formed a super-team to ensure Finals runs (the definition of stacking deck, manufactured resume)..


Stats while winning East

01' Iverson... 32 on 38%
07' Lebron... 25 on 44%

1-9

He should've stayed in Cleveland and kept being the favorite to win the conference.. who cares if he ceded a couple easy runs to underdogs in 09/10 (first player to lose b2b with 60-win 1 seeds).. he should've stayed and eventually the tide changes your way..

For example, look at MJ - people forget that an all-time great team with many HOF's was required to win the 80's East - so MJ waited until the 90"s when better parity existed and 2-star contenders were the norm... Obviously, the goat will dominate a 2-star vs 2-star fornat regardless of his sidekick.. hence the 6 rings... 6/6 with 6 FMVP's GOAT (will never be duplicated)

Remember - nobody won 3 rings without their sidekick getting at least 1 FMVP or 25-30 ppg... So how could they win 3 with Pippen, let alone 6?. Only MJ could win 3 with Pippen, but he's the goat in a 2-star format so he won 6 (would've been 8 straight but he retired)

Yawn. Comparing Iverson to Lebron is just extremely stupid that even a Lebron hater should understand it is ridiculous.

Yawn. Comparing Iverson to Lebron is just extremely stupid that even a Lebron hater should understand it is ridiculous.

As is his laughable definition of everything by scoring. Here is a broader comp between 07' LeBron and peak 01' AI.

BPM: LeBron 8.1, Iverson 6.1
VORP: LeBron 2.2 (20 games), Iverson 2.1 (22 games)

LeBron would be at 2.4 VORP if he played 22 games.

Usage (burden)

Iverson.. 37%
Lebron.. 29%


Yet Iverson's VORP was basically tied with Lebron

So again, other guys like Iverson, Dwight and Kidd carried weak casts to the Finals too - but only lebron formed a super-team, hence the Finals streak.. a completely manufactured resume
