Shaq lost G1 vs Sixers in 2001

Huge difference, indeed.

There`s no denying he played great. He also had great help in Kyrie when he got cold in the 4th.

And all he had to do was get the league to suspend the DPOY.

Shaq did have 3 40, 15 games but never had a 40, 15, 7 game which is what lebron just had.hes the first player in NBA history to have these numbers.

41,16,7,3 3 has never been done before on ANY STAGE in nba history.

[Wulfgard]

difference is that Shaq ended up winning the series

You can have the stat sheet, I'll take the championship

So I guess Kobe's 81 point game is less impressive because it was a regular season game and the Lakers lost in the 1st round. Good to know.

Context, retard.

Kobe was on a crap team with sh*t help that many people picked to not even make the playoffs. Kobe's historic regular season performances and dragging a mediocre cast to a playoff bert in the tough West took a nothing season and mad something out of nothing. Thus it adds to his legacy.

LeBron is on the team with the highest payroll, one of the most stacked Big 3s ever and with a "sidekick" that's had 3 straight 30+ point games. They've been considered one of the favorites/contenders for the entire season. Thus the expectations are different. If he fails to win this series he failed to capitalize on a series in which Curry is playing mediocre, and Draymond missed a game.

Yes clearly is better to perform against a 27-55 team than against the team that has the best record in NBA history. Also I'd if you want to talk context regular season <NBA Finals.
