Wilt Chamberlain

Also led his team, back from a 3-1 series deficit, as well, including three straight monster games on the backend... with a game seven of 30-27-6-11. And then a sweep in the next round, and without HCA. Then, he nearly led his under-dogs to a title with a 23-24 .625 seven game Finals, which included a must win game of 45-27 on 20-27 shooting. All only four months removed from major knee surgery.

As for the '68 "collapse"...you tell me...

Club Rated 'Most Courageous' By Hannum as Injuries Mount

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia 76ers could be billed as the best touring troupe In basketball. All they need is a doctor to complete the cast.

Going into the fourth game Sunday of their National Basketball Association playoff series with the Boston Celtics, the 76ers are hurting from head to toe.

So what's new? Injuries have plagued the defending NBA champions since the opening of the season.

"Alex Hannum says this is the most courageous team he's ever coached," says Harvey Pollack, the 76ers' statistician. "The locker room looks like a hospital ward every time I walk in."

Pollack ticked off some of the cases, which read like a medical diary:

-Wilt Chamberlain ([COLOR="DarkRed"]partial tear of the calf muscle in his right leg[/COLOR], a strain in his right thigh and an injured right toe):

-Wally Jones (injured knee cartilage):

-Luke Jackson (pulled hamstring muscle):

-Hal Greer (bursitus in his right knee):

-And, Billy Cunningham (broken right wrist).

"That's not mentioning (rookie) Jim Reid who had a knee operation after injuring it the first game of the season," said Pollack, "and Larry Costello," the veteran guard who tore an ankle tendon after one-third of the season was gone.

The most recent injury was to Chamberlain in Friday night's Eastern Division playoff contest with the Celtics. The dipper was given whirlpool treatments for the calf muscle tear, but Pollack wasn't sure how he'd respond.

The 76ers have nine men in uniform for the best-of-seven playoffs, which they lead, two games to one. But whether they'll have anybody left for the finals against the Western Division winner is anybody's guess.

The team's troubles multiplied in the Eastern Division semifinals against the New York Knickerbockers. Cunningham broke his wrist, knocking him out for the season, Jones and Jackson suffered their injuries and Chamberlain aggravated his perennial toe injury.

And when Boston thumped the 76ers in the opening game of their playoffs here last Friday, some predicted a quick knockout of the injury-riddled champs.

But Philadelphia whacked Boston two straight, including Thursday where an injury actually helped the 76ers cause, points out Pollack.

How so?

"Well, Chamberlain was hurt and he couldn't turn around to score-so he kept feeding Greer, and he scored 31," explained the statistician.

BTW, Chamberlain averaged a 22-25-7 in that seven game series.

He got outplayed by Russell in Games 6 & 7

Wilt Chamberlain

GOAT choker.

[SouBeachTalents]

Lebron blew two 2-1 leads in the finals

He also led the first 3-1 comeback in Finals history

[LAZERUSS]

He got outplayed by Russell in Games 6 & 7

Maybe, if you call outscoring, outrebounding, and outassisting Russell in those two games, and doing so with multiple injuries, as being outplayed.

[LAZERUSS]

He also led the first 3-1 comeback in Finals history

Yep...down 3-1 and waving the white flag, and then crying to the league to suspend the Warriors best player for game five (the same Dray who was, BY FAR, the best player on the floor in game seven BTW)...and then having the "good fortune" to have the Warriors' rim-protector miss the last two games. Oh, and the biggest reason... Anfre Iguadala, the same Iggy who had completely shut down Lebron over the course of the last year, being rendered a helpless cripple in the last two games of the Finals.

Throw in KYRIE hitting the series' winning shot...and yep, it was "Lebron" who "led" that comeback (the same LeChoke who couldn't hit a shot in the last four minutes, and nearly puked at the line in the waning seconds.)

Since you're clinically retarded and admittedly do not even watch the games:

Games 3-5, LeBron put up 33/13/7/2/3 on 53%. He shot 54%, 52%, and 53% during that stretch. Again, those are from games 3-5. Not even including G6, in which Iggy played 30 minutes and LeBron put up 41/16/7/3/3 on 61% TS or G7 in which Iggy played 40 minutes and LeBron put up 27/11/11/2/3.

If we include those games, LeBron averaged 33/12/9/2/3 on 52% after playing terribly in the first two games.

Game 7 - LeBron scored 11 of the Cavs' 18 points in the 4th Q. LeBron scored in one quarter nearly what Wilt averages for his CAREER in the Finals. After GSW went up 4, LeBron scored 6 straight points to keep the Cavs in the game. Scored 8 straight points at one point. Singlehandedly kept the Cavs in the game.

The four minute stretch? Neither team scored a SINGLE point until Kyrie made that incredible 3. LeBron also had the block and the game and title sealing FT in the end.

#2 Kyrie being more clutch than LeBron:

The Cavs were struggling and LeBron scored 11 points in the 4th Q. 8 straight points at one point and scored 6 straight after GSW were up 4 and with all the momentum. Dude absolutely killed their momentum and gave the Cavs a 2pt lead. He also has the game saving block on Iggy.

Irving in the 4th Q's of the Finals:



LeBron in the 4th Q's of the Finals:



LeBron in the 4th Q's of the Finals (last 3 games):

Now go back to stanning the choking roided mental midget, Lozerus.

Now go back to stanning the choking roided mental midget, Lozerus.

Again, Iguadala, the well-known Jester Dominator, was injured in game's six and seven.

So, let's examine your stats more fully shall we?

Game three of the '16 Finals:

LePuke shot an overall 14-26, with 1 trey. When Iggy was on him... 9-20 with zero three-pointers. I'll cover this "clutch" LeChoke more in a few, but in the 4th quarter of a blowout, Shrinkage went 0-1 against Iggy, and after Iggy exited, again in a blowout loss, the Padder went an unnecessary 4-5.

Game four of the '16 Finals:

LeTiny shot an overall 11-21. And looking at his 4th quarter stats, you would think he really stepped up in a relatively close game. Of course, the Jester fans like yourself don't even watch 4th quarters of his games, because, as you all know, he will puke all over the floor in the most critical moments. A career CHOKER. In any case, LePuke had shot an overall 8-18 against Iggy, and in the 4th quarter, he had gone his usual 2-6 shit-like performance. Down by 9, with less than a minute to go, and and with the Cavs desperately needing THREE's, the Warriors conceded the layup...and guess what, your boy LeCrap took them on three straight possessions. And essentially trading layups for Chokurry FTs...in a loss. He finished 11-21, but was actually 8-18 when until he was given three straight hoops. And again, 2-6 in the 4th until the Warriors laughingly handed him those hoops. The ultimate stats-padder!

Game five of the '16 Finals. If we remove those three "gifts" from game four, the Jester had gone a string of 12 straight games (including the '15 Finals and the two regular season H2H's in '16) of shooting less than 50% against Iggy. In game five he FINALLY broke thru....barely. He shot 16-30 overall. However, with the game still in doubt in the 4th quarter, LeClank shot his usual 2-7. His teammates of course carried the Cavs in that quarter, and Tiny was able to sneak off the court at about the five minute mark.

Game six of the '16 Finals. Iggy injured his back early on, and was a crippled shell the rest of the series. Shrinkage took full advantage, going 16-27, and then 6-9 from the floor in the 4th. Only his second 50%+ 4th quarter shooting performance in his 15 straight H2H's with Iggy since game one of the '15 Finals. And the first occurred in that game one of the '15 Finals. HOWEVER, in the OT in game one of the Finals, LeChoke went 1-4. So, if you include his pathetic OT effort, the Jester would only put up ONE 4th quarter, in 15 straight games, of at least 50% shooting.

Game seven of the '16 Finals. You put up this exaggeration about LeChoke putting up 11 straight points. Let's examine that, shall we? In that small span, the Jester shot 3-4 from the floor. From the last 4:14 of the game, LePuke went a trembling 0-4. So, in a span of about seven minutes, LeFoldo went 3-4, and the rest of the ENTIRE GAME...in his 40 other minutes... he shot 6-20! Including the usual 0-4 in the last four minutes of the game.
