    I mean, if we don't add any context it creates this unique effect that Lebron was able to lead in 5 different categories against the greatest team of all time! 73 wins!

    Unfortunately that's not how the real world works because everyone who watched those 7 finals games knows what happened and why leading in 5 separate categories really isn't all that impressive relative to what the other top 10 all time players have achieved in their best finals series. Take context into account and look at the big picture knowing that GSW in games 5-7 were a shell of themselves, while the Cavs were damn near running on all cylinders. Iggy with a bad back, Dray suspended for a game effecting his play upon return, Curry playing at 50% of himself due to injury, Bogut injured during half the series.... but ya... that's the same regular season 73 win team. Much like the 2015 Cavs in the finals was the same regular season team huh?

    Now if you want to criticize Curry for not leading in 5 separate categories when the roles were reversed in 2015 and Curry was playing a shell of a Cavs team, you won't get any push back from me, but then again Curry isn't exactly a top 10 player now is he?

    The lead in 5 different categories makes for a nice story, but then you look at the context in which is happened and it really isn't as impressive as the lebron stans try to make it out to be.
    Outside of peak Jordan & Shaq, which players Finals performances were better than LeBron's this year?
