Best Game 7 Performers, ranked by Game Score

[TheCorporation]

David Robinson never played a game 7.

I was going to add him to the top 20ish list but he never even played a game 7, let alone the minimum of 3 to be included on the list. Odd.

Yeah I saw that too.

If anyone else has any players you want me to include let me know! As I said earlier I can't do older players in the top 25 because Game Score wasn't available then, so guys like Jerry West and Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson and Wilt are hard to add.

Any others feel free to let me know! LeBron leads all game 7 performers. Kareem is second best, and KD is 3rd.

Curry still the worst in a finals G7

Thank you for sharing this and putting in the work. I believe Bill Russell played in 12 or 13 game 7 contests and his team won every game 7! Perhaps someone can verify that? If true that is impressive no matter what era.

What was his game score in the 2004 Olympics gold medal game and 2006 FIBA gold medal game? What about the 2009 and 2010 Finals when he had HCA throughout the playoffs? Need an answer

kawhi blew a 3-1 lead to windhorst with HCA

I broke it down by looking at every playoff game 7 for top 20 ish players Incredible list with great information.

Top 3 Game 7 players: LBJ, Kareem, Durant
Top 3 Worst Game 7 Players: Kawhi, Garnett, Kobe

One thing I noticed was that LeBron had 3 game 7s with a 30+ Game Score whereas no other player in league history has more than one. The ones that do and they're top 20 ish are listed:

Thanks my man For the ISH Fam! I could look them all up for Bill Russell but it takes time and then of course I couldn't even compile his Game Score anyway.

Using elimination games is more accurate and mj is much closer if you use that. The other thing is Game score like most advanced stats can be misleading. It heavily favors ball dominant players. Its why guys like harden and westbrook can be number 1 in game score but they're never anywhere close to the best players in the league.

[TheGoatest]

LeBron double up on Kawhit.

Greatest game 7 player of all time.
Greatest elimination game player of all time.
Greatest closeout game player of all time.
Greatest player of all time.

Reminder for HBK
Kawhi's best game 7 didn't evn make top 11.

[FireDavidKahn]

Kawhit had 2 of the 3 worst game 7's of all time

[TheGoatest]

The difference between #1 and #2 is greater than the difference between #2 and #6. That is insane.
