To me the inefficiency is amazing

Hakeem- 10/25
LeBron- 9/24
Duncan- 10/27
Magic- 5/14
Bird- 6/18
Curry- 6/19
Kobe- 6/24

Just shows you how nerves and the defensive intensity are on full throttle in a Game 7 of the Finals.

That for sure catches my eye too, along with the fact that Wilt went a combined 5/24 from the FT in his game sevens.

Another interesting aspect is it seems like it's usually the costars that end up being the best players on the floor in these games.

Maxwell in '84

Worthy in '88

Manu in '05

Gasol or Artest in '10

Dray in '16

Pressure not on them. I mean it is but not the same.

I think I should add the '81 ECF and '02 WCF game 7s to the list since those years were obviously the real finals.

Jerry West in 1969 was insane! Not just Game 7 but that entire series.

He was great in virtually every Finals he played, with ironically his only bad Finals coming in the year that he won :lol

Did you show the times where he stiff armed for a basket that should have been an offensive foul?
