Lebron, MJ, and Wilt are the top-3 ppg players in NBA post-season history, in must-win games.
Those who claim that Lebron and Wilt "choked" in their post-seasons are complete idiots.

Why put Wilt in the same sentence as lebron.
Lebron is miles better. There's a reason lebron is a 28 ppg scorer in the playoffs while Wilt is at a pathetic 22 ppg.
And a 26 ppg in finals when Wilt is an even more pathetic 18%.

And there was a reason a "scoring" Chamberlain averaged 33 ppg in his post-season career, including four 50+ point games, three of which came in "must win" games. Not to mention that he was a FAR greater defensive force and rebounder. Included were post-seasons of 33 ppg, 35 ppg, 35 ppg, and 37 ppg. And post-season series of 37 ppg, 37 ppg, 39 ppg, and 39 ppg.
And a scoring Wilt, also posted a 29-28 .517 FG% (in a post-season NBA that shot .420 overall BTW), in his one Finals...and against the GOAT defensive center, and greatest dynasty in NBA history. Of course, he had multiple 30+ series against that same player and team in the post-season, as well...including a seven game series of 30-31 and on a .555 FG% (in a post-season that shot .429 overall.)
GOAT.

Yawn.
And yet he still only has 22 ppg in playoffs and 18 ppg in finals.
Lebron dwarfs him on the biggest stage.
Don't insult lebron by putting the choker in the same sentence with him.

Chamberlain won a FMVP in a Finals in which he scored 19 ppg, and would have been a unanimous FMVP, had the award existed, in a Finals in which he averaged 18 ppg. How come?
Lmfao OP and his bran stans are such idiots.
Elimination games = high pressure games now......this dumb sh*t put down two game 4s when the series were still 2-1. Last I checked that wasn't classified as an elimination game.

Last time I checked, in ACTUAL "must win" playoff games...
Lebron 31.8 ppg, Jordan 31.3 ppg, and Wilt 31.1 ppg.
BTW, Chamberlain played in 23 absolute "must win" playoff games, but in his "must win" and "series clinching games", he played in 37 (24-13 W-L), and averaged 29.9 ppg, 26.1 rpg, 4.2 apg, and on a .546 FG%.
[QUOTE=Kiddlovesnets]Kobe in elimination games since becoming team's No.1 option:
2003: LAL 82-110 SAS
2004: LAL 87-100 DET
2006: LAL 90-121 PHO
2007: LAL 110-119 PHO
2008: LAL 92-131 BOS
2011: LAL 86-122 DAL
2012: LAL 90-106 OKC
2013: LAL 82-103 SAS[/QUOTE]
Dont forget 6/24 game 7. He was the team's first option on offense but overall Pau Gasol was the best player.

Chamberlain much more dominant than 3" Lebron.
Op needs to lookup the def I option of an elimination game.

Ok. But I was not talking about that.
I was talking about the OP putting up two games to prop his hero in the first post. Elimination means win or go home. Game 4s aren't that.
He didn't even use his own criteria.

There's a reason why people are used to seeing lebron walk off the court with the confetti and streamers being the colors of his opponent.

Agreed.
BTW, I would prefer using TOTAL elimination games in these arguments (adding must win games with series clinching games.)
