* KJ carried Barkley in multiple 7-game series againt peak Hakeem in the 94' and 95' Playoffs (28/5/9 in both series with multiple 40-point games)
* Terry Porter carried the Blazers to the 92' Finals by averaging 26/4/8 on 72% true shooting (52% threes on 6 attempts) in the 92' WCF and WCSF.
* 5th option Jerome Kersey carried the Blazers to the 90' Finals by leading them in scoring during the Western Playoffs
* Worthy won FMVP and led the Lakers in scoring for back-to-back title runs, including 24-25 ppg for the 87-90' Playoffs (30 on 62% in 88' WCF)
* Payton and Kemp alternated back and forth with both guys taking turns dominating opponents in various series
* Penny averaged 26/5/8 in the 1995 Finals, which nearly matched Shaq's 27/10/4
* Stockton carried Malone to the 97' Finals by averaging 21/10 to Malone's 23/12 and hitting the historic series walk-off in Barkley's face, while also scoring like MJ in the clutch for that entire playoffs (nearly matching MJ in clutch points for those playoffs)
Otoh, there's 1 sidekick that was carried for every series of their career - it's Pippen, who never got within 10 ppg of Jordan in any series, while having one of the lowest peak capabilities of any star (22/5 peak capability).
So he's the worst sidekick of all-time by virtue of being the only sidekick that was carried in every series of their career, while also having one of the lowest peak capabilities of any sidekick (22/5 peak stats, aka trash peak and the only guy that never reached Horry-level in the Finals over a meaningful sample, aka 0/6 in reaching Horry's gamescore from the 95' Finals)
