Looking back at LBJ in game 6 in 2013 when his Heat trailed the Spurs 3-2 and they need the game.
LBJ 11 of 26 or 42.3%
The remainder of the team 27 of 55, almost 50%
LBJ 1 of 5 from 3's or 20% the rest of team , 10 of 14.
LBJ did go 9 of 12 from the line with 12 rebs and 11 assists or some such thing, he did have a triple double but the true story in the most important area he was once again , not very good and that was at home.
In regular season LBJ was 56.5% and 40.6% from 3's. That was one of the best regular seasons in his career and in history of coarse he needed to get other great off players by his side to do it, but when the going got tough VS the better teams the guy cashed in his chips.
Let's see if he can get it done here tonight.
There's no question LBJ is one of the greatest players in history, a true all-time great.
However, my post are in regards to him being the single best player in history, I don't see how he could be since he has failed so many times in the most important area, FG %.
The info on his performances suggest he is not even in the conversation as the single best player ever, but a all-time great for sure.
That's also why when we talk about Jerry West being 1-8 in finals but he is not considered the single best player in history, an all-time great yes but not in the conversation as the single best player ever.
Just to be clear.
