Where does Tatum’s finals performance rank among the all time worst?

[Nilocon165]

Where in the list of 2011 Bron, 2004 Kobe, 2016 Steph and many more does it fall

Your examples are all in the 2000s. Are you 16 years old? Do you know anything about basketball?

In the 2007 Lebron tier.

22/7/7 with 4 TOs a game and he did shoot well from 3, but he also only shot 36.7% and it's hard to put up mid-2000s low-scoring numbers in today's era, especially against small ball GS, but Tatum sure came close.

[ClipperRevival]

It's way up there. He looked like a monster heading into the finals but he ran into Big Di*k Wiggy. Wiggins took his soul. It was great to see Wiggy finally play up to his IMMENSE talents. He had all the attributes to be a lock down defender, especially impressive is his amazingly light feet for a 6'8" guy.

[Carbine]

It is the third worst I've seen from a "superstar" in my lifetime. '07 and '11 LeBron are clearly #1 and #2

Did you miss Kobe 04 and curry 16?

[WhiteKyrie]

In that 2004 Kobe, 2007 LeBron, 2011 LeBron tier

[Carbine]

04 Kobe I can't put up there, you have to take into account that it was a bad series but he was going against the best defensive team I have seen. The Lakers scored 68, 75, 80, 87 and 99 points in the five games.

Kobe also had a signature moment of his career with the three pointer. Kobes presence was definitely felt more than Tatum's for sure although that isn't saying much

[WhiteKyrie]

Kobe definitely played poor in 2004. He was gunning for finals MVP, clearly, Shaq was destroying his personal opposition. And he was playing really selfish. And didn’t even go about scoring in the best way to defeat the defense that was in front of him. Dwyane Wade however the very next year accomplished were Kobe couldn’t, by attacking the teeth of that defense off the dribble at the rim, and not settling for contested jump shots with long arms Tayshaun Prince contesting. With that said given contacts, he was really weak physically due to what was happening over the course of the year, and I’m pretty sure it was absolutely mentally exhausting facing potential life in prison over bogus rape charges.

His performance was really bad, but the small pass I give was that it was his first Finals. All the guys mentioned in the OP were at least their second Finals.

If he gets back, I'd love to see if he can rebound. East playoffs are gonna be lit next season.

LeBron gets a pass in 2007 as everyone including LeBron shot poorly that series and LeBron was playing with the worst supporting cast ever

Kobe stans wouldn't want to hear any of it. That was when the dynasty broke up and even tho other people know that he was also to blame, kobe just washed his own hands after that crushing defeat. Sadly, the franchise still stood by his side and that's when shaq and phil knew they were gone.

[Full Court]

2011 Bronie. Most epic choke job ever. He was levels ahead of and had greater expectations than Tatum.

[dazzer87]

2011 Worst ever……………

[8Ball]

2000 Kobe
2004 Kobe

Nothing beats those 2.

15/4/4 on 36%
22/4/3 on 37%

[tpols]

Tatum's series here was at least 50/50.

He wasn't playing with the 2nd best player in his conference ala Embiid or Giannis.

2011 will always be the worst.

[Axe]

None will ever top 2016. 73-win team and a 3-1 lead in the finals for the unanimous mvp lmfao.

[TheGoatest]

Somewhere between 2000 and 2004 Kobe. Personally, it reminds me more of 2004 because he had a defender from the opposing team (Wiggins) that completely pocketed him like Tayshaun Prince pocketed Kobe in 2004.
