Probably, as SG is historically the weakest position

Jordan
Kobe
Wade

that top 5 peak value

Top 5 for point guards really better than this? :durantunimpressed:

Yeah peak it might be above PG, maybe even SF or PF, but longevity matters too...

just like why Duncan is ahead of a lot of other PFs

SF:

Lebron James
Larry Bird
Kevin Durant
Elgin Baylor
Dr J
Charles Barkley

How would you order that? Need to cut someone also.

I'd start with Chuck since he was a power forward :biggums:

I don't think Duncan is the best example. 03 is a top 5 Playoff run ever. No other PF approached that.

Peak PG is the weakest set I'd say. But that's a given.

Yep, he sure liked to hoist shots up. Wouldnt be surprised if especially his Finals FGA average was around or in the 30s.

MJ with the earliest known dedication to Kobe this season.

just think.. that was MJ's worst playoff series ever (30.2ppg, 8.6 rebs, 47.5% TS).


otoh, lebron imitates kobe much better:


SAS 2007 Finals (22.0.. 7.0.. 6.8.. [B]42.8% TS[/B].. 35.6% FG)

DAL 2011 Finals ([B]17.8[/B].. 7.2.. 6.8.. 54.1% TS.. 47.8% FG.. and GOAT choke)


Yikes.. :eek:

You think he was worse in that series than in the '96 Finals?

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents]You think he was worse in that series than in the '96 Finals?[/QUOTE]
MJ put the series away on the road in game 3 with a great performance. Bulls were up 3 - 0. Near impossible to lose the series by that point. He was missing a ton of gimmes. Both were poor shooting series. That Heat team, and Sonics were tremendous defensively.

NBA Finals performance ... that is pretty telling.

The "elite" 1988 Cleveland Cavaliers defense was as good at limiting points allowed on a per possession basis as the 2004 Atlanta Hawks (25th out of 29).

Dat 1998 Pacers defense though.....

Yeah man I called up Lebron's guys and had them deleted from internet. Feel free to keep looking. They don't exist. :confusedshrug:

Yao mings foot thought that Mo Williams was on the 07 cavs. This is a guy who clearly has not been watching basketball very long. Likely a 12 year old Kobe worshipper

Nearly 4100 posts on this forum and this is the "evidence" I was owned.

:roll:

Not knowing when a pretty high profile player joined a heavily televised team is indicative of the fact that you dont watch much basketball. Mo Williams being the cavs second scorer was a pretty big story. Any semi serious fan would remember.

Mo Williams in 2007 is a high profile player now . :roll:

I'm a Lakers fan. I don't care about the Cavs or Cavs history. :confusedshrug:
