Highest Finals series PPG in NBA History

[#number6ix#]

D wade!!!!! 34.7

[#number6ix#]

2006 Refs put up 12 - 15 ppg of that 34.7 average to be honest.

He was aggressive and it paid off... It's not his fault mavs couldn't keep out of the lane... Or maybe it is

[#number6ix#]

I agree. Wade took advantage of those weak 2006 rules, absolutely. And he also took advantage of the Mavs weak interior defense. Dirk not having any defensive presence couldn't help in that regard. But it doesn't change the fact Wade got a ton of ridiculously soft calls that kind of put an asterisk next to the numbers he was putting up.

He's a breakdown on just about all the fouls from game 6(couldn't find game5) which was a game everybody was saying the refs gave wade all the calls

Shaq, Kareem, and Hakeem easily were able to achieve this, even the great George Mikan did it. How come a supposed "top 3 center ever" could't do it once? Russell is excluded because he wasn't known for his offense and he has 11 rings anyway so he didn't need too.

Ok. That's fine. But question still remains...Do you ever get tired of your "Wilt sucks" agenda? At what point does it become boring?

MONEY

GOAT gonna GOAT, I guess

I thought Wade's solo superhero turn around for the Heat was ridiculous. Will power and competitiveness I agree. I'm not diminishing his performance. I'm just putting it in perspective.

You can't possibly believe Wade wasn't the recipient of some notoriously bad calls, at large volume ... getting a lot of those points off the free throw line, and not off buckets?

He was hitting nice mid range shots from time to time, especially on the bank. He took advantage of the refs, as he should've, but in context with all the soft calls it skews the performance.

Obviously a Heat fan would vehemently disagree and defend it regardless. There is no objectivity right now from you it seems. You're a great young poster though.

I have no problem conceding the fact that wade got some calls in his favor

12,5

Yeah but how many times did Jordan lose in the Finals?

Oh yeah, he never lost!

MJ proving yet AGAIN why he's the GOAT.

horrible logic, where not making it to the final series of the season at all is treated as better than making it that far but losing once your there

P.S. Sam Jones did the whole 'never lost an NBA Finals' thing more times than MJ did

[CavaliersFTW]

Jerry West's name appears more often than anyone's

Baylor had most points ever scored in 1 game in an NBA finals with 61

Just one minor correction my good man, Sam Jones lost in 58. Hondo and KC both went to the Finals and never lost more than MJ though.



But yeah, hate that ****ing argument. Somehow losing PRIOR to the Finals absolves you of any blame, while losing a round earlier is a complete indictment on your career/ability.

No dumb ass, it means once MJ had a supporting cast capable of supplementing him on a championship capable level ... When he had just enough tools to justifiably win, he never lost.

Sam Jones consistently played on stacked Celtic squads. He didn't have anything like MJ's 85 - 90 supporting cast, while carrying a Jordan esque burden for the Celtics.

When MJ was favorites he ever wet the bed, that's the point learn the difference. You could count on Jordan to never fail you like all the rest of these guys did a one point or another. Context kid.

He lost in 89-90, 94-95, it's not up to you to determine what others view as suitable help, and he DID come back and fall short to the Magic, no matter how you twist it. Also, in the future, watch your tongue when addressing me.

Also, the 95-96, 96-97 squads are among the most stacked squads (if not THE most) in NBA history. Check yourself.

Cry and throw a tantrum all you want, but the bullsh[COLOR="Black"]i[/COLOR]t you just typed is completely untrue and illogical. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Except MJ wasn't favorites in either 1990 or 1995. Guy had only played 17 games that year. Magic were favorites coming out the conference. Shut your dumb Jordan hating ass up. He won as favorites in 92, 96, 97 and as underdog in 91, 93, and 98.

Not a Jordan hater, he's one of my favorite players ever and one of the best ever. Just don't make him out to be completely flawless and the GOAT in every regard. Appreciate the man for the legend he was brah, not the legend he wasn't and will never be.

2 NCAA chips 1 Gold and 11 rings all in just a 14 year span. Now there's a champion resume worth gawking at
