Usually a player that led the entire playoffs in points, is indicative of who the best player in the league is that season, and when added up, you can kind of deduce the greatest players of all time. The only rare exception to that rule is what Magic Johnson brought to the table. For example:

This is post merger mind you, as it is the birth of the modern product and game. And the best basketball product and competitive climate. Pretty interesting and telling results.

Accumulative Playoff scoring leaders:

1) MJ - 8x
‘89, ‘90, ‘91, ‘92, ‘93, ‘96, ‘97, ‘98

2) LeBron - 6x
‘07, ‘12, ‘13, ‘15, ‘17, ‘18

3) Kobe - 4x
‘04, ‘08, ‘09, ‘10

4) Bird and Hakeem - 3x
‘84, ‘85, ‘86
‘86, ‘94, ‘95

5) Shaq and Duncan - 2x
‘00, ‘02
‘03, ‘05

I think you can make the argument that this is borderline the most accurate view of the greatest player of all time hierarchy list of the modern NBA.

Because excuse your bball racism, Bird when healthy was always better than Magic. Comparable passer. Way better scorer. And actually a way better defender / rebounder too.

Interesting one offs:

Tatum - 2022
AD - 2020
Klay - 2016
Worthy - 1988

Pretty telling and interesting view of certain players quality of help as well.

Namely Stephen Curry with Klay Thompson actually scoring more than him in their Finals run in 2016.

And as I said, Anthony Davis being the Lakers actual best player in the 2020 season and in the bubble playoffs.

Also, Magic’s help with Worthy, who was primarily a third option. Kareem gets a ring while averaging 14 ppg that year btw.

Jokic - 2023
Giannis - 2021
Kawhi - 2019
KD - 2014
Dirk - 2011
Wade - 2006
Iverson - 2001

Pretty accurate IMO judging quality of players in terms of their dominance over the league and their place in the all time hierarchy of players.

Embiid has never finished top 10 in playoff points.
