Will there ever be a wing player that will have a season better than LeBron in 2013?

IMO

2012 bran > 2013 bran

(Mainly because i weight the playoffs a lot more than the reg. season where u can cherrypick shots and statpad)


30/10/6 with great D > 26/8/6

He was better in every round and had some dominating performances (gm6 bos, gm 4 ind). He didn't really have any bad games either, whereas he struggled for half the finals and was pretty mediocre against Chicago.

Beautiful post, particularly the bolded. I'm the exact same way.

Jordan in 1993 averaged 35/7/6 in the playoffs.

41/9/6 in the Finals.

And he was considered a pinch worse than his 1988-1992 peak!

He had one of the best regular seasons by any player ever but his playoff run was average for his standards. If he would've had his 2013 regular season and 2012 post season in the same year it would be one of the GOAT seasons.

I take that back...Jordan had a 31.6 PER season in '91 and posted a 32 playoff PER...Good lord. Was that guy human holy shit?

You have to go back and look at Jordans seasons, the dude was on a different level, LeBron was great and all, but he hasn't done anything like that, thats all im trying to say.

Yeah that Finals game 1-5 derailed LeBron. Had he played better it would have been wing player GOAT. Just #2 now.

Still, Jordan has never had a playoff run on either end like LeBron 2009 and I don't care if he lost.

Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

Just confirming, you are claiming that Jordan has never had a better season than LeBron in 2013?

Going to at least the conference finals? Really?

1989: 35 ppg, 7 rpg, 8 apg, 3 spg on 51% - Lost ECF in 6 games
1990: 37 ppg, 7 rpg, 7 apg, 3 spg on 51% - Lost ECF in 7 games
1992: 35 ppg, 6 rpg, 6 apg, 2 spg on 50% - NBA Back to Back Champions
1993: 35 ppg, 7 rpg, 6 apg, 2 spg on 48% - NBA Three Peat Champions

I don't feel like arguing much anymore tbh. But basically, to make it short, LeBron scored more than any playoff run of MJ's on better efficiency, rebounded and asisted more and fouled and turned to ball over alot less to make his impact.
