Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
[QUOTE=Calabis]That shit is hard though[/QUOTE]
Especially since Diaw is so damn athletic. Bigger, stronger, faster. Playing that advanced LeBron rules defense. Not as physically taxing as the Jordan Rules. But the mental toll on Bron when Boris silently judges his jumper from afar is tough. :(
Let's see how many wide open mid range jumpers the Spurs dare Bron to take this year. Can't wait.
Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
So Pippen average nearly a triple double for his first three Finals? :eek:
No wonder Jordan was a career loser without Pippen.
Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
I love how some of these guys marginalize the defense lebron has faced in a few of his finals. In 2011 vs dallas they played box and 1 on James which is somewhat an offshoot of the way the spurs play him as well. With these types of schemes the prinary defender isnt so much important as the guys supporting him. Even with that said if you make a list of Lebron's primary defenders and take into account the scheme it came within, it beats the hell out of anyhting Mj faced outside of 96 against Gp. We all see how that went, his worst finals....
Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
Has anyone got Wades stats for his first 4 finals appearances?
Lebron just keeps going further and further down the list.

Yeah, he had multiple injuries that year in the playoffs. He was performing at a MVP-level for 3/4 of the season before tendinitis and other issues popped up. He finished 5th but it would have been interesting to see where he would have finished absent that. He was close to Hakeem in the final vote so he almost certainly would have been 4th, perhaps even 3rd absent late health issues. Healthy 96' Pippen was probably the best version of Pippen.
Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
OP Updated with D-Wade, Lebron dwarfing performances in the finals.
Re: Lebron James Vs Michael Jordan in the Finals
Gonna need to put OP on suicide watch when Lebron completes his 3-peat.
