Will KD have a 2012 ECF LeBron-esque elimination game tonight?

[Marlo_Stanfield]

It wouldn't be the same anyways. KD is only 25. Even as an MVP, he gets little scrutiny compared to LeBron. If he loses, some people will criticize him, but people will say he's young, his team is weak, Brooks sucks, and the west is too tough, so he will be excused. If LeBron loses in the first round, ISH crashes and the whole NBA implodes on itself.

LeBron's performance in game 6 is legendary because it transcends the monster stats he put up. If he lost that game, his legacy would forever be shattered after choking in 2011. It was him against the world. Everyone was ready to hang him and celebrate his failure.

It's not even close to the same even if KD puts up monster stats and wins tonight.

also one was in the conference finals against an alltime great team and the other is in the first round against 7th seed

KD must give his team and the fans a big game.I hope he doesn't choke.On the other hand it would be a shame for this mem team not to qualify.They've been the better TEAM so far. May the best one win

Considering it was one of the best PO performance ever by anyone, I highly doubt it.
