36/13/9, while leading a team of role players to a win against an all-time great team = 41/9/6

[ImKobe]

Yes, it is amazing what 1-3 games can do.

If the Cavs had won last year, with no Love and Irving, and with Lebron averaging 36/13/9, Lebron would be in GOAT discussions.

but he DIDN'T win

stats don't mean shit when you LOSE

He was in the same situation last year, down 2 - 3 going into home and disappeared in the 2nd half

you look at his overall box score and you would think he had a big game, then you look at his 2nd half/4th quarter performance and laugh

no one is better at stuffing their stat sheet in the first 3 quarters than Lebron but no one is also better at losing close games in the Finals than Lebron James.

Championships don't impress you either. You and your opinions mean nothing.

He won two games that series. That was highly impressive given the circumstances.

GOAT? I do recall a guy averaged... AVERAGED 41 points every game in the finals in 1993.

Guarded by Dan Majerle, with rim protection from the legendary defensive duo Charles Barkley and Tom Chambers


Please dont compare what Lebron is going up against to the traffic cones Jordan faced in that finals.

[Mr Feeny]

If they can pull this off (which they won't if Love plays ore than 20 minutes in Game 6 and 7), and Lebron averages 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in games 6 and 7, you'll have people talking about it.

That's impossible. It's not happening.
Were it to happen though - we'll all admit he's the GOAT and crown him better than Jordan without question.
He's already arguably top 3 all time, statistically speaking if nothing else.

Not surprised a fellow high IQ member, aka thick member of the Lebron fam beat me to this.

Suns were garbage defensively. Lebron is up against a much tougher opponent.
