In NBA finals history.

1993 Michael Jordan 55.3

+1 for losing FMVP to the other teams sixth man

[FreezingTsmoove]

i wonder what it is when you adjust the garbage time points and assists out from game 4, 5, and 6

[TheMarkMadsen]

But for real, Jordan scored more, was waaayyy more efficient, scored more within the flow of the offense and oh yeah.. didn't loose the last 3 games of the series or get outscored by a teammate in any game of the series

And yes that is true. I'm just saying in this case LeBron topped him.

[La Frescobaldi]

It was, truly, a phenomenal display of aggression, power, smarts, and skill

That's why Jordans the GOAT. You don't need to bash bron for having an accomplishment over him.

it's not bashing to point out the differences and show the obvious which is that Jordan's 93 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 15 Lebrons series and its not an "accomplishment" when your randomly combining two stats from a losing series and a winning series, the goal of the game is to win, not to accumulate stats.

This is a thread is about stats.

You are so insecure man. this is the mentality that most haters have to prop up Jordan. You dismiss it because it doesn't align with your opinions.

So why not talk about Bron's teammates? Bron did plenty, the rest of the team didn't.

Its an accomplishment about stats. We all know The Cavs lost to the warriors. Stop being insecure for once

That's cool, he must have the most Finals wins and FMVPs too, right?

Lebron doesn't elevate his teammates - he never has... The story is always how his teammates underperformed in the playoffs, especially against the best teams... This is what happened in 2009 ECF and 2010 ECF (also 2014 and 2015 Finals).

Otoh, Jordan's teammates played much better alongside him, so his teams never underachieved by losing as the favorite, or even when it was 50/50 - the only times he lost in the playoffs were when NOBODY thought his team would win... Since Jordan's teams never underachieved, his #1 seed Cavs would've defeated the Magic and Celtics in 2009/2010, AS EXPECTED.

Btw, we know why Lebron's teammates routinely underperform against the best teams - it's statistical fact that Lebron turns teammates into play-finishers, and their diminished playmaking capacity makes it harder for them to perform well against the best teams.

Otoh, Jordan's sheer force of will and off-ball style was ideally-suited to elevate teammates once the competition kicks up a tier in the playoffs - and this is what happened.

If Jordan took the same amount of shots LeBron did, he'd be leading him easily.
