Stats of All-Time Greats in NBA Finals

[Odinn]

Some notes;
- At the bottom, those numbers of Shaq-Duncan-Kobe, I calculated them while excluding 2006 from Shaq, 2013 & 2014 from Duncan and 2000 from Kobe so you can compare prime numbers to prime numbers since only these 3 played in the Finals outside of their prime.
- Since I don't know how to calculate PER, I calculated regular efficiency ratings per game and per minute. Also, there's TS%.

Edit; Numbers of LeBron exc. 2007 are added.

If you exclude 4th year 21 y/o Kobe numbers, also exclude LeBron 4th year 21 y/o numbers, please. Those terribly alter Bron's.

It was a matter of context rather than matter of technicality. You can say Bron was close to his prime and in his good days. You can not say that kinda thing for Kobe before 2000-01 season.
But surely, I can calculate and add those numbers if you guys insist.

Lol at including 21 year old lebron with all the defensive attention but not 12be, agenda

Bron was equally off his prime as Kobe, its just that Bron was already a better player.. as far as difference goes from that Bron to prime Bron? Same difference for '00 Kobe and prime Kobe... and Bron actually had to be first option.

I added the numbers but me getting called "obvious agenda" is a bit ridicilous. Because you guys like LeBron and have already talked about it. Yet you certainly wouldn't complain about Shaq's 1995 Finals (3rd season 22 y/o) getting included as well.

Excellent research and breakdowns.

MJ with 33.6, 6 and 6 is pretty crazy.
Lebron's improving his numbers as he goes on as well:
27 ppg , 10 rpg and 7.2 apg on 45.5%fg which is not bad at all!

It's not like I ignore Kareem. There were missing numbers(turnovers, blocks, etc). If there weren't I'd have included him as well.
