LeBron's Playoff Run

[Da_Realist]

You could argue 2001, I guess. I'd say none of these are quite as good as LeBron's 30-10-5 on 50%. Still, some great numbers.

Lebron has shot 47% so far in the Finals.

It can be argued that those stats Lebron put up are the best all time.. no ones touching that besides maybe.. Shaq.

But Lebron hasnt turned the tides of games like people with worse stats have. Lebron will give you 30/8/8 and lose the game down the stretch.. hes absolutely Shaq-like dominant in the normal flow of any game, and thats normally enough to put most teams away, but he isnt dominant at all in half court situations where a bucket is absolutely needed.. mostly because of his broke jumper.

Dirk last year probably had a better run despite having much worse numbers because he single handedly won his team a shit load of games. He was accumulating his stats in more crucial, game deciding moments.

It's true that there needs to be a better way to argue impact than just looking at numbers. For any player, not just Lebron and Kobe.
