0.0 bpg

0.0 bpg

KCP:
12.8 ppg on .377

Wdym? He was, behind AD the most impactful player in the playoffs if you look past stats, completely raised his game on both ends then add the leadership. Lebron stat padded vs Jimmy & the beach boys. Ungrateful bitches.

superteam third options.

[RRR3]

KCP because of defense.

[fsvr54]

Rondo was the best player on the team in the playoffs

[ShawkFactory]

Rondo was the best player on the team in the playoffs

I'm confused by this sentence.

[RRR3]

I'm confused by this sentence.
He’s an idiot. Nothing to be confused about.

In 2019, Kuzma and Ingram saw drops across the board alongside Lebron (PER, BPM, VORP, WS/48)

So Lebron reduced Kuzma from budding star to nothing just like he did to Hughes, Jamison and Bosh

[Spurs m8]

AD was better than Bron and more impact full for the whole playoffs...bron stat padded, as usual.

Congrats on beating Butler and Tyler Herro in a bubble scrimmage though

[kawhileonard2]

Rondo was the best player on the team in the playoffs

No it was AD.

[Full Court]

No it was AD.

This. And as we all know, AD is the reason they even made it to the playoffs in the first place.

[TheGoatest]

KCP because of defense.

Yeah, I'm leaning toward KCP as well because he had a decent game 4. So LeBron won a ring/Finals MVP with his third best player having this statline in the finals:

KCP:
12.8 ppg on .377
2.8 rpg
2.0 apg
1.0 spg
0.2 bpg

Let that sink in.

[8Ball]

Rondo was their 3rd best player because of playmaking he would provide.

Huge to have 2nd playmaker on your team.

Spurs couldn’t even make that bubble scrimmage u piece of garbage

[TheMan]

superteam third options.

No superteam needed to beat possibly the worst Finals team ever, AD and Co. were more than enough to win that Mickey Mouse ring :confusedshrug:

[TheMan]

Yup, so far Bran as a Laker, no AD, no playoffs...

Let that sink in.

The Lakers had two dudes scoring at least 25 pts per game...the Heat had one guy who scored 26 pts per game, and then a huge drop-off with their second best scorer scoring 12 pts less than their leader Butler...ugh.

Let that sink in.

[TheGoatest]

Rondo was their 3rd best player because of playmaking he would provide.

Huge to have 2nd playmaker on your team.

Rondo was their third best player by far in the 2nd round and conference finals.
But Rondo missed the entire first round and his best games in the finals were Lakers double digit wins.
The reason I have KCP over Rondo in the finals is that he had a pretty decent game 4, which was pretty close... Even though KCP's finals numbers are unquestionably still pathetic for a 3rd best player.

[Spurs m8]

Yup, so far Bran as a Laker, no AD, no playoffs...

Fact are facts

[Gohan]

He’s an idiot. Nothing to be confused about.

I bet you rondo was their best player in that rocket series, no rondo no series win. Prove me wrong his impact goes beyond the stat sheet

[brownmamba00]

Rondo was huge in that WCF against the Nuggets.

[bison]

There was no third best player on that laker squad. It was always a different guy each night that stepped up to be the best third player. Some nights it was kuz, others it was rondo, kcp, Avery, Dwight etc. looking back this was clearly a fluke season for the front office because they actually put together a deep team that played excellent team defense that carried Barry Raymone to his fourth chip. Of course who cares who third best is when you team with an MVP caliber big man like AD

People like you who don’t know what stat padding is, say he stat padded. Why didn’t AD win finals mvp then? They have an entire panel of members that determine who the mvp was. Lebron won unanimously. So none of the experts agree with you.

This is what he had to say about AD before the 3 championship/9 finals appearances deep LeBron carried that 2 playoff appearances in 7 seasons career underachiever to a championship:

Notice what he said about AD's stats in particular. :oldlol:

Watching LeBron lift his 4th Finals MVP on his 3rd team in the 2nd conference with AD on his squad left him melting down for life. :roll:
