Who was the better Playoff and Finals Performer

[2ball]

Can anyone name a better performance by a second star in the NBA Finals? The only one's I'd concede are maybe Steph in 2017 and 2018, but neither of those should count since Warriors 2016-2019 healthy broke basketball (KD and Steph had no business being on the same team).

Kyrie Irving in Games 3-7 in the 2016 NBA Finals (played like garbo games 1-2) -

Game 3: 30 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds

Game 4: 34 points, 4 assists, 4 rebounds

Game 5: 41 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds

Game 6: 23 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds

Game 7: 26 points, 1 assist, 6 rebounds

5 game average: 30.8 points, 4.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds

I don't think any other player has ever played that well over a 5 game stretch in the NBA Finals and rightfully not won NBA Finals MVP. Can anyone think of sometime of note? The only ones I think are somewhat comparable are 2002 Kobe and 2017/2018 Steph (Which I don't think should count).

Well, look, Kyrie missed a Finals. An entire series. Love too.

Pippen was always there. So was Grant and Rodman for that matter. Those guys were not injury prone.

Pip: 18
Kyrie: 9

Are you giving LeBron a compliment? You're asking how did a player like Kyrie who played SO WELL that how the hell did he not win a Finals MVP?

Oh. Heh. Because his teammate LeBron played even better. DOH

No love for 2016 Westbrook and his 27/11/7/4 line? This is how it goes these days?

2016 WCF (Thunder vs Warriors)
Westbrook 27-11-7-4

"Westbrook SUX, KD need more help!"

2016 Finals (Cavaliers vs Warriors)
Kyrie 27-4-4-2

"Kyrie is so good, LBJ has too much help!"

Whut

Almost all of Kyrie's votes are from Jordan stans.
