1st round exit masters
I’ve decided to compile some data to rank the best 1st round exit masters in NBA history. I’m sure I will miss a few players so please feel free to provide additional data so as to strengthen the list and ensure accuracy.
Without further adieu, I will present the NBA’s 1st round exit masters
# of 1st round exits
-Hakeem Olajuwon: 8x
-Michael Jordan: 3x
-Tim Duncan: 3x
-Shaquille O'Neal: 3x
-Larry Bird: 3x
-Magic Johnson: 2x
-Wilt Chamberlin: 2x
Are we missing anyone else in the top 10?
*Note: LeBron has zero

Re: 1st round exit masters
Lebron was in East where there were like 2 or 3 elite teams early in his career. He was able to avoid those teams in 1st round because East was just too garbage to get 7th or 8th seed.

He also completely missed the playoffs in his first two years.

Re: 1st round exit masters
MJ only had 1st round exits with 8 seeds
Lebron is lucky his 9 seeds missed the 8 vs 1 matchup in 04 and 05'
Somehow he missed the playoffs with a 2-time all-star center in a weak conference
But as soon as Big Z/Hughes/Lebron got a tiny bit of coaching (Brown), they were 50-win, high seeds, so that proves how much talent Big Z and Hughes really were, and gooden...

Moncrief was the difference in that first round series.
Jordan: 29.3
Woolridge: 20.5
Cummings: 29.5
Moncrief: 26.5 and made Jordan work hard for his points
Cummings and Moncrief also shot really well.

The Bucks were a 59 win team. They were good.

Oh wait.. you said Top 10
Good catch, yes Kobe has 3 like most top 10-15 NBA stars but since he is 12th all time he was not included. He is 12be from this day forth

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't Jordan play college for four years? So...What was his excuse? Comparing 18 year old LBJ to 22 year old MJ? Typical of you Jordan stans.
Furthermore, Jordan missed the playoffs twice with the Washington Wizards.

Is this your attempt to cover up all of Jordan's 1st round exits? Because he has three. And they counted.

Yes he sure was. Jordan was the 1st round exiting master for a long time. Only one player has more than him (Hakeem). He is a 1st round exit master no doubt about it.
