LeBron's Playoff Run
LeBron James' averages in the 2012 playoffs? 30.5 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 5.3 apg on 50% shooting. How many times did Michael, Magic or Larry do that? ZERO.
Dirk last year had 27.7 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 2.5 apg on 49% shooting.
Shaq? Nope. Never had the assists.
Duncan? Nope. Never averaged 30.
Kobe? Nope. Never grabbed the 10 rebounds a game.
I know LeBron's going to get a lot of love over the next week, but are we underrating his run? These are "OH MY GOD!" numbers.
Seriously, we have a player in the playoffs averaging 30-10-5 on 50% shooting. Think about that. Not just for a series or a couple of games. That's what LeBron has averaged over 22 playoff games.

Re: LeBron's Playoff Run
This playoff run for Lebron will go down in history, even more so if the Heat win the next game.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that this wasn't an all-time great performance in the playoffs.

Not really imo.
Yeah the stats are good but I've never really felt that "wow" moment during these finals.

Re: LeBron's Playoff Run
Gotta give credit where its due. Lebron is re-writing the history books with this fantastic playoff run.
Top 5 talent all-time.

Except Bird never averaged 30 a game. Barkley hit it on the head the other night. He said we've never asked a superstar to do all the things LeBron's asked to do.
