    Default Will we ever see another player average 41.00 ppg or more for an entire Finals

    or was MJ doing it a one-off thing?

    Will we ever see such a bad defense play in the finals again????? Imagine if Lebron had Dan Majerle on him and a quick pick forces Barkley onto him

    70???? I was being serious (ok somewhat serious) I could see Lebron averaging 42. Suns would start triple teaming him after Lebron averages 50 the first 3 games and then he averages 34 the last 3 games with 12 assists, assuming he has some shooters around him.

    MJ had Pippen to lead in the other categories

    Unfortunately he didnt have Pippen to score 27 ppg in a finals series including the title winning shot.

    Pace was 85, which is slower than anything lebron ever played

    Only mj and kobe averaged over 30 in an under-90 pace Finals.. So im pretty sure Lebron couldn't even average 30 in that series..

    Btw, Lebron averaged 16 on 39% thru 3 games of the 13' Finals while being guarded largely by Boris Diaw, so Im sure Mark West could do the same, let alone Richard Dumas, or all-nba defender Majerle

    Overall in the 13' Finals, Lebron averaged only 25/10/7 on 53% ts, compared to Kawhi's 29/10/4 on 61% ts in the 19' Finals (kawhi had higher gamescore too).. Then there' the 07' and 11' Finals where Lebron was even worse - so lebron is easily stoppable - too many examples to choose from

    Kobe never averages 30+ against any finals defense with handchecking. Even when he did in 2009 and 2010 he did so on awful efficiency while being carried by Gasol.
