LeBron's Expectations/Standarts

[ArbitraryWater]

Kawi Leonard is the 2014 Finals MVP with Averages of:

17.8 PPG / 6.4 RPG / 2.0 APG / 1.6 SPG = 18/6/2/2 on 61%

You know who those statistics remind me of?

LeBron's 2011 Finals:

17.8 PPG / 7.2 RPG / 6.8 APG / 1.7 SPG = 18/7/7/2 on 48%

(Now obviously the Kobe fans don't care about fg%, efficiency doesn't mean shit...)

I'm not saying Kawhi played shit, I'm saying LeBron played good.
He had a Magic/Bird type finals series.
Not great, good.
Problem for LeBron, his standarts/ceiling is much higher... He needs to be/should be, great... He was the team's best player in 3 of 6 games (game 1 + game 5 + game 6), but for the team to win he needs to be the best at all times, he needs to be great.
Yet he still came close to another title/finals mvp.

The fact he was slayed for this series just shows you how superior he is to Magic/Bird, who both have pulled off indentical finals series'.
And won doing so...
Magic in '82: 16/11/8
Magic in '83: 19/8/13 on 40%
Magic in '84: 18/8/14
Magic in '85: 18/7/14
Magic in '89: 12/4/8
Magic in '91: 19/8/12 on 43%
Bird in '81: 15/15/7 on 42%

People were praising the all-around game. Of course not all of those series' are good, but when LeBron gives you a near 20/7/7 on 50% series, that's good, despite the low 4th quarter scoring and 8 point game.


Oh, and Kawhi will have a Pippen type career...

It's funny LeBron had a better finals AND post-season than Kobe ever had (yet again)

You just underscored how bad LeBron was in those Finals.

So why didn't LeBron win the 2011 FMVP?

[rule1223]

lebron continues to deceive his stans with his stats, is there any wonder lebron fans have the lowest average iq?

I wouldn't expect the consensus best player in the world to sit for the last seven mintues of an elimination game, that's for sure.
