Re: ESPN ranks the greatest individual playoff runs
wtf
Shaq is completely underrated here... he should be 1.
If we're talking dominance, didnt shaq led lakers only lose 1 game the entire playoffs?
While lebron went to game 7 with atlanta i believe?

Re: ESPN ranks the greatest individual playoff runs
Lebron #2?
No Dirk?
Shaq below lebron?
ESPN trying to rewrite history. Retarded fans will have a completely unrealistic view of the NBA. They are trying to write out MDE shaq! Tim Duncan even ahead of him? WTF
And Lebron #2? DOESN'T EVEN BELONG TOP 5! WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT!

Re: ESPN ranks the greatest individual playoff runs
He should definitely be above Duncan, but otherwise it appears the author has docked him for lower TS% and usage rate. His points are articulated rather simply, but the fact he looks at TS and usage tells me he's a bit of a stats dork who knows his shit. Originally Posted by StocktonFan

Re: ESPN ranks the greatest individual playoff runs
Shaq's 2000 run should be #2.

Lebron 2011 playoff run is nowhere near one of the top playoff run of all time. Originally Posted by Trollsmasher

That writeup about it is pure spin doctoring.
Why is Dirk not mentioned and that halfassed run is?
