Bonus Question: How many did he attempt?

No clue but I'm guessing its pretty low as he wouldn't have been involved in many game 7's... maybe, 6?

[My Chumps]

Zero from zero attempts?

Yes, he only played in 3 game 7's. And it is a low number...

Incorrect..

Zero from zero attempts?

Correct, he did not make a 3. But he DID attempt at least one... :-X

Was funny actually. Couple of regs from another forum were discussing LeBron's lack of WIM. This guy who is a well respected poster and an analyst for bleacher I believe too said this :

complete bs. yes he quit that celtics series and thats big deal. but he was absurd in all the other years.

starting with his first playoff series vs a wiz team that many picked to win, he opened with a triple double and went on to hit 2 game winners in the closing seconds and found damon jones for another game winning shot.

the next series he led a cavs team to a near upset of a rediculously heavy favored pistons team. i think the books had the pistons at like 50/50 to sweep. if drew gooden wouldnt have forgotten he was on a basketball court and grabbed a rebound that hit him in the hands, that series was over in 6.

next year cavs beat the wiz and nets in series that the books had close to even. then ofc the epic 25 pts in a row to completely soulpozz and dismantle a perennial contender in the pistons. what ppl dont rememeber about that series is the cavs were really down in the dumps after donyell marshall missed a wide open game winning 3 (labron obv drew the d and passed to him) and then in game 2 lebron missed a game winning layup when he was blatantly fouled about 3 times including rip hamilton slapping his elbow just prior to the release. no one remembers the adversity he overcame.

then ofc the orlando series. one of the best playoff performances of all time. the game winner with 1.2s ya. but the rest of the cavs just completely sucked ass, shooting like 25% from 3 and getting bent over by dwight howard. labron avged 38.5 pts/game on 59% true shooting. 231 pts on 154 shots lol. 8.3rb/game and 8ast/g.

just absurd for the modern era. only shaq, jordan and olajuwon of the last 20 yrs have series that remotely compare.

the labron postseason narrative is one the most disgusting myths that is perpetuated in sports. just blatantly false. he has unequivocally been the best playoff performer since shaq.

I tend to agree with him as well. Guy has been beast but his mistakes get outlined so much by newspaper columnists and people like Skip Bayless who don't really have a clue whats going on.

flower off Holz, thats bullshower. MJ was good enough to avoid game 7's unlike Lebron who needs bailing out by a 38 year old to even force a game 7 ::)

Took him how long to make the finals? LBJ got there with the worst team in the nba lel

When Cavs made the finals, it was a weak period in the nba. AND HE GOT SWEPT HAHAHA. "the greatest of all time" should never get swept in the finals.

Love it how you act as if Lebron has been going up against guys at the level of Magic, Bird, Thomas, Malone, Stockton etc.

[Andrew3737]

Getting swept in the finals is better than getting swept in the first round, twice. Also, Parker, Duncan and Manu though.

MJ dominated the most dominant era of the NBA. Lebron is doing well (lost 2 finals) in an average era of NBA.

[Andrew3737]

Really? "Doing well"

Highest PER since Jordan, 4 MVP's, 2 Rings, 2 Finals MVP's. If that's doing well, than anyone else is a failure. Howard, Kobe, Durant, CP3, Duncan, KG. Must be doing pretty bad. He has dominated the past 6 years like an all time great does. The teams are more stacked than they were back then too.

Never played with Bird, Magic, Malone in their primes either. Jordan was just a rookie. He got owned by these guys because of it. 63 points, but still got swept.

[Andrew3737]

Karl Malone, Drexler, Stockton, Kemp, Payton and Miller were his real rivals. Which aren't nearly as good as when Bird and Magic are taken out
