Why is the difference between #1 and #2 in playoff PPG > #2 and #8?

[Dray n Klay]

That can be said for any player in history and has no bearing on why MJ scored more

Not every player could have MJ's volume and still match lebron's shooting efficiency and top him in overall offensive efficiency.. infact, only MJ did that



Yeah it is... because teammates can't get 4 attempts at lebron or MJ's offensive efficiency (116-118 ortg)

Only MJ and lebron can get shots at that efficiency late, so they should be finishing those possessions, not lower-rated teammates.. heck - Wade, Kobe and harden don't have their efficiency and shouldn't be passed to either..

Everyone knows that.. ..



Magic had 2 sophisticated, do-it-all bigs in Perkins/Divac who averaged 17/10 and were best layers in the series after the magic/mj and worthy/pippen matchups.. 90' all-star AC Green matched Horace, and suoer-athlete elden campbell was better than both.. prime magic simply had a better team but lost

Its better to average 12 rebs and 10 assists over 4 rebounds and 2 assist


On the same ppg (34ppg)

MJ's 34 ppg includes 52% of the bulls' points in the closeout game, including the greatest clutch ever, plus goat defense and the brand of basketball needed to win at a championship level.. so it was harder to achieve than lebron's stat-padding, low team assist, non-closer losing style with horrible defense


Now why was being a net negative enough for lebron in 2013?

Net rating

Jordan 98' Finals:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] +8.0
Lebron 13' Finals:[COLOR="White"].[/COLOR] -0.2

Why was 16.7 on 39% enough for Lebron thru 3 games of the 2013 Finals, or 21 on 43% thru 5 games - basically a repeat of the 11' Finals until ray allen saved him?..

And how did he make the Finals with 22 ppg in the 14' ECF?

Mj shot around 40 percent in AT LEAST 2 NBA playoff series.. He SHOT around 38 percent I believe in 97-or 98 vs the Heat with Voshawn Leonard guarding him..

I think all great players have had bad series shooting wise..

Again, lebron never had an efficient, 30+ series against champs until 2016

Whereas MJ had them all the time and since he was damn-near 22 years old (44 on 50% vs Celts' #1 defense), while 22-year lebron was shitting the bed vs the 07' spurs #1 defense (22 on 36%.. yikes)
