This Durant game destroys Lebron's best playoff game

[3ball]

Game 5 vs 07' Pistons (bum opponent)

Game 6 vs Boston (bum opponent and had super-team)


Any others?

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

That 12 Saltics performance is so overrated.

They were a great defense because of KG only.

Their defenders on Bran where who? Rondo? Pietrus? Ancient Pierce :oldlol::roll:

Celtics were 27th in offense. LMAO. Retirement home team.

Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala almost beat the 2012 Celtics and took them to the brink in game 7 :roll:

Pistons were still a decent team but they were missing the 2 that made them great and champions - Ben Wallace and Larry Brown

Yessir

So Durant already has the best single game over Lebron, and will be ranked ahead of Lebron by mainstream if he wins this year and next

Some will have him ahead if he just wins this year

I already have him ahead, based on actual skills and ability to elevate teammates - everyone playa great alongside jumpshooters (of course Durant does everything else too)

[SouBeachTalents]

That performance statistically would destroy literally every players best game, not even Jordan has anything close to a 49/17/10 on 70% game :oldlol:

[3ball]

Durant had 49 of 114 points (43%), and his highest teammates had 27.

Jordan had 54 of 105 points (51%) and his highest teammate had 14.. (93' ECF Game 4)

Jordan had 55 of 111 points (50%) and his highest teammate had 17.. (93' Finals Game 4)

So Durant had 2 solid sidekick contributions, while Jordan won with literally nothing, against 60-win opponents (top 5 SRS teams)

[HBK_Kliq_2]

This Durant run has surpassed any lebron run, he has been carrying two gimps all playoffs. I would say the number 1 playoff run in the 2010\2020 era is Kawhi in 2019 but this Durant run is right on its tail if he keeps it up.

How many rebounds, assists and block shots??

By carrying a bigger scoring burden with zero help, all eyes were on Jordan (5 on 1), so his performance was dimensions tougher than Durant, who had high-scoring teammates keeping defenders at home

By FAR.

[Mr.GOAT2408]

This performance today from the best small forward since Larry Bird is easily better than any playoff game LeBron has ever had, only game 6 in 2012 comes close and that was against a team whose big 3 was around 60 years old so even that wasn't anything special

Had LeBron done that in game 5 or 6 of the 2010 ECSF I might have ranked it as high as his dumb fanbase does but he chose to quit on his team that year instead

[Sportal]

Ah I see... We've forgotten the season LeBron beat the 73-9 Warriors. Alrighty then.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

He shot 70% but his TS in the playoffs is still 3% worse then kawhi leonard.

[coin24]

This performance just kicked LeTiny out of the top20

[Spurs m8]

It's funny because the bron stans have always ommited the top tier help as a thing.
Seems if he wins fmvp...then that's it.

So putting Durant on level playing field, it doesn't matter who his cast is...as long as he gets fmvp too.

Add to the fact Bron has already given KD 2 fmvp...just sways the argument in KDs direction even further.

KD gonna d1ck this guy and his fanbase AGAIN lmfao

[Smoke117]

Durant > Jordan.

1-9.

[coastalmarker99]

Bron has double the amount of 40 point playoff games. He had almost as many 40 point playoff games in one playoff run as KD as had his entire career. He's played 48 minutes on the road and dropped 40 in game 7s. To say Lebron has never had a game as good as this is pure hater shyt. Ya'll can't salute KD without making it about Bron.

If lebron has 2x the 40pt games, and he got 1x of them in one playoff run, then what does that say about the rest of his playoff career?

[ImKobe]

Kevin Durant finished with a Game Score of 50.4

Michael Jordan's best in a playoff game: 49.8
LeBron James's best in a playoff game: 44.7
Kobe Bryant's best in a playoff game: 43.6

When you combine the efficiency with volume, that was a top-5 playoff performance ever.

Now, this stat is kinda flawed when you consider that Dame had the highest GameScore in NBA history in that Game 5 loss against Denver this year. Durant's game is legit GOAT-tier though because he played both ends at an elite level.

KD averages better than prime MJ numbers vs bron H2H in the playoffs. And is 9-5 win loss record. If he kills Giannis and Kawhi this year he shall be ahead. :rockon:

Both of Brons performances were on the road.

And weren’t in this spaced out “non-basketball” era you always like to bring up.

[deathawaitu]

Lol more proof that what Lebron did in the east his whole career was a joke lol

Durant just proved once again that any west superstar can do what Lebron did in the east lolol

Lebron fans having meltdowns

Durant had 49 of 114 points (43%), and his highest teammates had 27.

So Durant had 2 solid sidekick contributions, while Jordan won with literally nothing, against 60-win opponents (top 5 SRS teams)

Forgot to mention this:

Durant had 43% of his team's points and a 27 point sidekick?

Lebron's 2007 performance was 44% of his team's points; had a 16 point sidekick

in 2012 he scored 46% and had a 17 point sidekick.

Both games were against the league's #1 defense too btw.

As soon as someone brings up Jordan you ruin your own thread :lol

[Shooter]

Maybe it was better than a Jordan game, but not LeBron.

Criteria:
45-15-5 on 70% on the road, against #1 defense, facing elimination. While outscoring your next 4 highest teammates

Answer:
Lebron James (2012) vs Boston

Anyone else?

LeBron's game 6 smashes this performance. Everything on the line for LeBron that game. Absolutely no pressure this game for Durant. You still have another game if you lose.

Bum opponents versus top 5 SRS

Boston was #12 SRS and only won 50 games, while Garnett/Allen/Pierce were 36 years old.. The 07' Pistons were even worse - a better SRS (#6) but trashy team and players

Nowhere near this Bucks team or the "cream of the crop" opponents that Jordan's best games were against (Finals teams or top 5 SRS)

Game 6 Boston still had Lebron as a defensive monster while scoring 45 and having that all around game. he had 3's, dunks, mid range, lay ups, he showed his bag that game. He outhustled everyone....

KD was incredible last night and it's arguable but that 2012 game from Bron showed how monster he was on both sides of the floor.

Was that the game against the 27th ranked offense featuring senior citizens that just barely scraped by in game 7 against a Philly team led by Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala?

The current Bucks are way better than the ancient Celtics. I remember that Heat Celtic game... Heat won that game from the jump. Nets were down 16 at halftime. Apples and Oranges....

And not only that LeBron had peak Wade. Durant was playing with a gimped Harden who shot 1/10.

Apples and oranges.....

Bron stans being completely autistic again. What a surprise.

Bran stans avoid the fact that the 2012 Celtics were the 27TH ranked offense. Literally bottom 3 in the league.

21 year old Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala almost took those geezers out in game 7 the series before. It was a 3-pt game heading to the 4th :oldlol:

Kind of ridiculous to use TS% when he shot 1/4 in the 4th :lol But in all honesty I give Kobe credit for finding a way to fight through a very poor performance and still contribute to a win in crunch time. As much as I troll about 6/24, it wasn't a WOAT tier game like Curry in 2016 and Kawhi last year

[noonereal]

Ok, so he took 4 shots but ended with 10 points, who cares? Lebron took 8 shots in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals and got to 11 points, was his scoring performance any better? No.

And thanks for admitting that. Kobe was terrible on offense in the first 3 quarters, I'm not going to excuse that, but most players in his situation would probably fold in the 4th quarter by not attacking or shooting at all. At the end of the day, he got the job done.
