If you don't think AD is a superstar playoff performer you're clowning. He averaged 27/11 on 130 ORTG en route to a title even before this year. I'm a curry fan and when you factor in defense, that's a better playoff run than chef has ever had.
Man, you REALLY pick and choose when the bubble is legitimate or not

The Pels only won 1 less game than the Lakers this year in spite of Zion hardly playing . They made the playoffs last year, again without Zion, and pushed the top seed to 6 games.
You just complained about AD not making it past the 2nd round with the pelicans and are now bragging here about them getting bounced in the 1st round last year.
Look up ADs career playoff averages. They're super elite. I know you like efficiency. He's one of the most efficient playoff performers of all time. Already led the playoffs in points while winning a ring. Coming off a master class performance last night. What more do you want?
It's a really weird time to hate on the guy.

ADs playoff averages outside the bubble are outstanding. I would agree with you if that wasn't the case, but welcome to reality.
He's better than embiid in the playoffs easily. Never came close to having playoff performances like embiid had in 2019 when he totally shit the bed against the raptors despite having loaded help. People forget he played with prime Jimmy butler.

The Pels lasted longer in the playoffs last year than they did in all of Davis's seasons with the Pels except 1.
Sample size matters. With only 46 playoff games in year 11 he can't be considered a playoff star no matter what his averages are.
The only season he got past the 2nd round was when there was a 3 month break in the middle of the season. Sorry if i don't take that very seriously.

You're an idiot if you don't consider AD a playoff star. Point blank. Nobody would agree with you and the evidence is overwhelming.

46 playoff games in 11 years isn't overwhelming. It's embarrassing. They almost missed the playoffs this year ffs.

Yup... embarrassing.
First 30/20 playoff game since prime Shaq. Happened last night.
Guy sucks. He's just... embarrassing as a playoff performer.

Taken to OT in the play in game against a short handed Wolves team. They were 1 point away from missing the playoffs entirely. Not impressed.

If you're not impressed with that then you should stop watching basketball because it isn't for you. You're making yourself look like a clown here.

A clown thinks that a guy who routinely misses the playoffs or gets bounced quickly is a playoff superstar. He was lucky to even make the playoffs this year and missed it last year playing for a historic franchise with Lebron.
Just in the first round he had games of 4-13 and 4-14.

2004 - lottery
2005 - lottery
2006 - 2nd Round
2007 - 22 on 36% in a sweep loss
2008 - 2nd Round bed-wetting
2009 - upset loss to injured, 1-star team
2010 - 2nd Round loss meltdown
TLDR: Lebron was a massive playoff loser or bed-wetter just like Embiid until the "decision" to put the top 3 first options on 1 team .. 100% manufactured resume.. a simpleton ball-dominator that never learned how to win with a normal cast.
