Assuming someone else could make 13 playoffs and 9 Finals, will we ever see 7k again?

[Shooter]

Assuming someone else could also have zero 1st round defeats as well and be the #1 option for their entire career, could someone else ever reach 7k playoff points like LeGoat?

We'd need an Elgin Baylor ver. 4.0.

Luka could. He'd need to have luck like bron and be in a weaker conference. If bron was in the west his whole career hed have 6 less finals appearances and maybe a few less semi finals. Thats alot of games and points.

Not true. In fact he might actually have had MORE rings if he played in the west. Western teams typically have a better front office (FO). LeBron on the Spurs? Yikes. LeBron with Laker from the start? Yikes. LeBron on any Western team with a decent FO = Instachip. Be careful what you wish for.

Now imagine Kobe or Magic or MJ or anyone in Cleveland? Probably make 1 or 2 Finals max.

You think he can make 8 Finals as his team's leading scorer? LeBron is the only one to ever do it.

Led team in Finals scoring
LBJ = 8x
MJ = 6x
Shaq = 5x
Kareem = 5x

I doubt it...

If they are always down every year in the playoffs at least 3-2 then it is easy to accumulate numbers.

Yep, just gotta lead your team in Finals scoring for at least 8 years.

It has been done. Once :-D

Kawhi has done it once in his career too :lol

[Spurs m8]

Sometimes I wonder how big Bron could have been if he had that killer instinct and winners mentality.
Also the clutch gene.

Would have been cool to see a legit threat to GOAT

A cleveland team filled mostly with bunch of scrubs where lbj also looked far superior than any of his peers? Duh :lol

Ofc the disparity only helps in making him a great leader of a player.

[StrongLurk]

Luka is the only real threat to Lebron in my opinion. But things can change quickly (see Steph and the Warriors the second half of this decade).

The only thing I would change about Luka is he complains A LOT to the refs, dude is super chippy.

[3ball]

When did the Finals streak start?

Only after forming a super-team in a conference that weak teams were routinely winning

The 09 Magic, 07 Cavs, 03 Nets and 01 Sixers were all weak teams, yet lebron formed a super team (cheated... manufactured fake resume)

Lebron ain't shit.. a straight bitch... Fake resume.. fake activist.. not a closer... Scared

I dont see Luka making 9 Finals. It's nearly impossible in the legal zone MODERN era.

I'll be surprised if he can lead his team in Finals scoring even 3 times like Curry, KD, Kobe all have done.

That's the only reason lebron had a Finals streak (only AFTER the "decision")

Can you gather yourself and take your meds before you respond next time. Please and thank you. Luka has played 5 playoff games ever, let's relax.

And MJ literally did form a superteam in a weak conference, how in the hell do you think he set the record in 1998 by leading his team in Finals scoring 6 times, thereby passing Shaq and Kareem with their 5 (amazing feat by the way). But then, in 2017 LeBron passed MJ by leading his team in Finals scoring 7 times. Then 8 times in 2018. LeBron has another level that most guys don't have.

Leading your team in Finals scoring 5 times is very tough. Only 4 players have ever done it. Thing is, LBJ did it 8 times. Learn the game or stay on the sidelines, dummy.

Well it obviously depends on what team hes on. I was assuming hed be on an equivalent team in the west so it wouldn't be that great. As far as magic or kobe and mj, kobe and mj won chips without amazing teams. Pip wasn't amazing in 91 or 98 and kobe never really had anybody amazing after shaq.

And your scenario goes both ways. Replace bron with mj in 2011 and heat win. Replace bron with mj in 15 and cle wins. All bron had to do was hit mid ranges and it was over. People act like iggy was a crazy defender. All he did was dare bron to shoot the mid which bron did at a pretty bad clip. No way you can gaurd a prime mj like that. Hed drop 40 plus a game on good efficiency easily.

There is only 1 year MJ wins in place of LBJ
There are 6 years where LBJ wins in place of MJ.

Hell, Klay Thompson probably wins 4 or 5 chips in MJ's spot :lol

Nah man. Lebron needs another great scorer. Hes not winning in place of mj. Mj on the other hand still gets 5 or 6 in brons place. He wins everyone in miami and also wins in 15 and 16. 17 and 18 would be tough, as would any year with those early cavs

Its irrelevant. Nobody is saying anyone else from the east in that era could. Lebron like luka and mj is generational talent. It would take someone like them to do what bron did. Mj came close but for alot of his career was in the tougher conference. Luka is young so we obviously dont know but hes also in the tougher conference. Bron wasn't is all. If he was and had the same caliber team he wouldn't have made all those finals is all. Its not even arguable dude.

I don't see that record falling for a long time.

And he could still pad it by 1000+ more if he can make a couple more deep runs.

Probably not. I mean that chance is astronomically small.

Crazy to think LBJ decimated MJ, Shaq, Kareem, and Kobe in playoff scoring. A true King Record. I agree if he can get to 8,000 it would truly be unbreakable. But even 7,000 is beyond what anyone has ever done ever.

[3ball]

And MJ formed a super-team in a weak conference




But then he was undefeated against the West, whereas Lebron is 3/9, so most of his Finals appearances were conference-dependant

And the 90's East wasn't weak, since Pippen was outplayed every year by an opposing 2nd option or 2nd-leading scorer:

1990 ECF....... Dumars destroys Pippen
1992 ECSF..... X-man.. legendary destruction
1993 1st Rd... Willis and Nique feast on Pippen
1994 ECSF...... Ewing destroys Pippen
1995 1st Rd... Larry Johnson manhandles pip
1996 ECF........ Penny lights up Pippen
1997 1st Rd... Juwan Howard schools Pippen
1998 ECF....... 2nd option: Rik Smits 16.3 on 55%... Pip 16.6 on 39%

You're dumb, slick.

Last time i recall, 1-9 baldan before 35 didn't even hop into other teams that already had fmvps nor recruited a potential player to his team.

Btw, you really do love using your dups so much with the garbage threads you make.

Honestly someone getting 6 finals losses will be much more difficult than the 7k especially in this inflated era. And I have a feeling he has 1 more loss in him. He really has more finals losses than Kobe has rings whilst playing on superteams, it's incredible.
