Yeah hold the bell by Lebron good job lol I didn't see any bells up there. And if the second best players average 15 per night, that's the only thing Lebron can do, do by himself but too bad the guy in front of him is Kawhi Leonard.
@globalicon2012 you do know Wade had a Cship and a Finals MVP before Bron changed addresses...and Bron actually said he had to get with D.Wade to learn how to win, so there's that LeCock rider
@Kenneth Erickson only stopped the 3peat of warriors cuz kd and klay were injured. Otherwise, Kd would've destroyed him again like he did when he was in okc.
Lebron is a master at the one hand fend off and lowering his shoulder into shot blockers to negate their defensive impact. I would say that 30-40 percent of his layups/post shots are offensive fouls and he has been averaging at least a travel per game since being drafted.
I'm using Lebron as an example simply because he is not the greatest player of this time or of any time unlike the nba commentators and espn 'analysts' would have you believe.
+NatsuTheGamer he leave the cavs,then go to miami,when he saw wade getting old and injuried,he do it again to join a team with 2 stars,I can't find any word except "cowad" can describe lecoward james
is that the problem you dumbass? LeBron joined Cavs because he saw Kyrie can ball also Lebron is the reason why they have Love and how about Wade? Wade left Heat when his team has potential but then he left them it's not about the money its about HOME
13ppg regular season Kawhi destroyed Lebron 23.7ppg the last 3 games on 69% shooting, 65% when guared by lbj he also avg more rpg spg bpg than lebron the last 3 games with a better ast to ratio than lbj shame on the heat and specially lbj's historically pathetic performance
5:32 lebron just holds the ball for 8 seconds freezing the offense and when he decided to drive he passed it to a teammate that was trapped in the corner leading to a turnover, damn the media is deciding that he's the goat what a shame.
he does , in san antonio he didnt have the burden on the offensive end , although he was always an offesive threat , now he is the guy , he has to carry their offense and leornards offensive game has has evolved and has become elite , he is a midrange killer , he isnt the clamper as he used to be because he is playing in a different system , doc and tye lue let him get the ball and do his thing iso , that isnt what pop used to do , spurs system is always about sharing the ball feeding the open man , and constant movement not going iso on the block as scorrer , kawhi needs the ball sharing system like spurs or the warriors to unlock his full potential
@@sujalgautam9761 nah, look at the Kawhi from Toronto, that's his full potential! Both sides of the court perfect, but he was healthy and in prime. I'll bet anyday on Kawhi from Toronto, rather than Lebron from any season playoff!
yea with each injury his lateral movement speed took a hit, sad to see because in his defensive prime he was one of the best perimeter defenders this game has seen.
@@anonymousperson2223 In that playoff he averaged 30.5/9.1/3.9. He got a ring, without any superstars, hit a ton of clutch shots... Only Lebron from Miami 11/12 had that kind of playoff stats with a ring won... But Lebron had a super team and the difference is defense, Kawhi is a beast on defense! So Kawhi from Toronto is my pick anyday!
Lejoke at it again. What a poser. He’s “bigger, stronger, faster” but certainly is not better than MJ. Anyone who saw them both play through their respective primes can recognize that.
Kawhi is an excellent defender but he also has the luxury of having Tim Duncan as a teammate who is their last line of defense. So when lebron goes past kawhi, he (kawhi) knew that TD will protect the rim.
Credit where credit is due, Kawhi is a superb defender, but so much of what makes LeBron - who, with his athletic ability, should be unguardable - easy to guard is how stagnant Miami's offense was. Look how many times he's isolated with no movement, or runs pick and roll with no movement beforehand. How many possessions is LeBron the only one in motion, how many times is it just him and a screener????? Kawhi is the best defender in the NBA, but this series might've showcased the worst offensive fundamentals of any team in Finals history.
KeyBoard Warrior - but that has everything to do with the way LBJ plays and it showed in this year's finals. He gets a pass for dimes that are a function of his position but he loves to hold the ball on the perimeter at times. I wish he was smart like MJ and learned to play off the ball at times and just use his size to attack any mismatches.
KeyBoard Warrior kawhi is quite the physical specimen himself. Able to hold his own with Lebron. They have similar weights, with kawhi with the edge in speed cause he's young. Lateral quickness is beyond comprehension. He 6'7 with a 7'3.75 wingspan. He has 7'4 arms so he can give the illusion of dribble space and driving space but nope.
+Dream Even though Lebron is 6"8 250 pounds he would not be able to handle the physicality, look how many times he flops in this era. Lebron would be crying all game & ask his mom to kiss his boo boo.
jayvanity If a 35 year old Bruce Bowen can lock Lebron down what makes you think Scottie Pippen would have any trouble? Not to mention Scottie says dumb shit all the time.
Bron had a minimum of three players on him damn near the entire time. Ginobli and Duncan swarmed him. Why people keep acting like he guarded him 1v1 is dumb.
@@fireeagle5633 Really? A search will show you Jordan had quite a bit of 2pt,7pt,8pt,10/11 pt games. Here's 2 of them. 1997 vs Atl 10pts, 1986 vs Cleveland 8pts. Etc etc
@@fireeagle5633 of course that 22 was awesome but sorry I don't agree with you. 1. What happens when a team don't win enough Reg season games? No playoffs right so they do matter. 2. Yes 1989 vs Knicks gm 2 15pts uh yaay. LeBron has 8 single digit games in his 18year career 6 of those were in his rookie year. This particular game LeBron scored in total more than 8pts but of only lowest counts even though Jordan had 2× as many with only 1 when he was a Rookie. Quite a bit of greats had these type of games
I like how Kawhi was all up in LeBron James grill when he was guarding him. He didn't give him any space like most defenders do. Leonard got excellent footwork too. That's another thing that stood out. Bruce Bowen was great at defense because he moved his feet well and contested every shot
It’s funny cause lebron can barely create his own shot against kawhi. He has to call a screen every single time in order to create space 😂😂😂😂 kawhi is too quick for lebron. And kawhi dominates lebron more then lebron dominates kawhi.
LeClown Ass James fans seem to be really losing it these days lol! I guess finally realizing the dude you been cheering for for years is not that great must suck
Kawhi great defender. Lebron great overall player. Spurs great defensive team. Miami great offensive team. Can not compare when everyone on the spurs is helping on defense when Lebron’s picking up his dribble. While every Lebron turnover comes as a miscommunication and tight spurs zone defense. Miami did not play right, if they did, they should’ve got at least 5 chips. The team relies too much on their stars and did not set up consistent offensive and defensive plans.
All you gotta do is play old school tight head up defense on Lebron and you can slow him all the down oh and you have to have some strength he dosen't have superb ball handle and he dosen't have a cross over keep his dribble to a minimum and keep him out the paint as much as you can and your good
It's more then just that. The defensive scheme the spurs ran was also a huge factor. Clogging up the lane as much as possible. Similar to what they did in 07
Because they didnt need defensive efforts anywhere else lol the Heat literally had 2 players who were offensively threatening, meanwhile the entire Spurs team went off
DAMn SA defense was tight as fk. and some guys say lebron can go against 90's pistons lol he'd be a walking puppet and i'm sure as hell he'll cry in the paint
Looooooool we all know Kawhi was and still is a beast but that "cAn'T sUrViVe İn OlD sChOoL" is so funny. Stop being a fanboy of MJ, and understand the facts, I would like to see MJ Going against Kawhi, George, KD instead of Bryon Scott or 33 year old Danny Ainge.
And this is prime LeBron going against a young Leonard, when they meet in the playoffs this year the LAKERS better hope AD will be the difference maker because Leonard is in his prime now and LeBron is still good but Leonard will have the upper hand
LMAO this is the most ironic comment now. Kawhi blew a 3-1 lead after being up by 20+ at half consecutive games. But when Lebron plays games through to the end after only being down 15+ at half, you all call it garbage time. Sad hypocrites you all are.
Facts: “lbj only scored 2 more points when kawhi guarding him and hardly even looked to score” Bronsexuals: “he was making the right play its just his teammates are trash” 😂😂😂😂 tbh its not lebron we hate, well a lottle after declaring himself goat, but its the d””””ass fans. They just make all the excuses in the world for him. Never seen a player given so much ridiculous excuses when losing but when winning its only all about him when his other superstar teammates majorly contributed as well lolll
@@Poopopotamusgaming dont forget dwade. I liked the heat trio when they won the championhip. That was the end of the ringless jokes for lebron which is solid. But then when he declared himself the goat... holy s**** lol. Even that time he’s nowhere near mj’s career achievements and for now still 2nd best at most.
@@raymondarsedale3879 Nah dude forget achievements, Lebron is better at basketball than MJ. If achievements are what you think makes MJ the best then you are sorely mistaken.
It’s 2024 and 5 players took FMVP from Lebron in 6 finals appearances (Tony Parker,Dirk,Khawi,Iguodala,KD(2x) Each Cemented themselves as HOFers over Lebron led teams ….
Kawahi had a nice defensive game there. But I'd like for someone to tell me what Bron's averages for the series were. (I already know, just thought you people needed a dose of reality)
I'm sorry, what? Dose of reality? Like Lebron and the heat suffering the worse finals lost in NBA history? How they got shut down 4 games to 1? How lebron admitted he's been shooting worse with Leonard guarding him? Yeah that's the reality. Kawhi is perhaps the only player who can lock down lebron. And he's proven it.
farrellcityking1 he only shut lebron down 1 game. lebron usually schools leonard but he is the best defender lebron has ever faced 2nd is Butler and 3th maybe george
Bleacher Report exactly he stat padds in blowouts then his groupies go but look at his numbers meanwhile he gets 15 points in 4th quarter in a game his team loses by 30 he did it again game 4 this year finals clearly stat padding instead of trying to come back shooting 3s in final minute it was so obvious!!
MJ and MAMBA never had that kind of body language against anyone, they were fearless Warrior's who never backs down no matter who was in front of them on defense 🤫 RIP MAMBA🙏
Sinabi mo pa.. umalis sya sa Spurs, pumunta sa Raptors at napag Champion nya kahit hindi superteam. si lebron, lumipat sa Miami at bumuo ng superteam, para lang makapag champion.. nakakahiya..
This is what I'm talking about. Lebron is one of the all time greats no doubt, but when someone stands toe to toe with him; he doesn't rise to the occasion. Kobe and Jordan would have went off, that killer mentality that they posses Lebron doesn't have that. Yeah maybe he's a different kind of player but when someone is standing in font of you going toe to toe with you he doesn't have the same outcome.
More like when Lebron and Bosh are the only offensive threats they can just zone in on those two lol. Kobe and Jordan shot their teams out of games shooting over double and triple teams because your idiotic “killer instinct” concept. You are a complete dunce.
@@Poopopotamusgaming their playstyle still won them 5 and 6 rings. Their playstyle still won them MVPs, defensive player of the year, All NBA, All Star. And two of the all time greats, one being the GOAT and the other being the only one who ever came close enough to him. The hell you talking about. You acting like Jordan and Kobe weren't zoned in on in their career. They still rose to the occasion. They didn't back down.
Christopher Wetherspoon I think you're underestimating the amount of support LeBron has. Yeah the internet is full of haters but in the real world, he's a superstar and commands a fuckload of respect and admiration. Don't be fooled.
That’s the difference ( I’m a Heat Fan) between Lebron vs MJ ..In my opinion he would have schooled Leonard with unlimited offensive move 40pts and the key word is WILL he team to victory on the biggest stage
Very unlikely. MJ shot badly and got locked down by Payton, who while a very good defender, was nowhere as tall or strong as Kawhi. Too much MJ myth-making.
@@bierdlll That's a myth. Payton had one good game on MJ in game 4. In game 5, MJ came back and hit shots on him at will. In fact, MJ shot better throughout that entire series when he was guarded by Payton then when he was guarded by anyone else. Stop the nonsense
@@x-man9473 So what happened in Game 6 when MJ shot an abysmal 5-19 (26.3%) lol. Stop with the lying. This was Lebron's worst game of the series, and yet he went 9-14 (64.3%). The difference between Lebron and MJ is just so stark. Comparing their performances in those finals: MJ 41.5% 2FG, 31.6% 3FG, 27.3 pts, 5.3 reb, 4.2 ast Lebron 57.1% 2FG, 51.9% 3FG, 28.2 pts, 7.8 rebs, 4.0 ast Lebron played way better but lost to Spurs 1-4. MJ played much worse but won the series 4-2. It's very revealing isn't it? This tells us that it was MJ's superb supporting cast that won the finals (26.3% in game 6 and Bulls still won?!), against a much weaker opponent (1HOF player) compared to what Lebron was up against (4 HOFs). Payton is not on the same level as Kawhi's defense. If he is shooting 41.5% against Payton, he will probably be shooting low 30% against Kawhi lol. Stop the nonsense.
All i see is 5 spurs player is always clock down paint every time James got a ball. Not a single play he has clear paint, he drive pass Leonard and got crowded in the paint.
Lebron gas out in the series....kawhi really took his soul...hot in the first minutes but disappeared late in the game...wade was non visible, bosh outplayed by old duncan...
For some reason they let kawai hand check everybody without calling it.The whole length of the court. Aggressive yes,great i wont go that far. I really cant think of anybody who they give that leeway to except maybe K.G.,with the right crew.They call that against anyone else.But they always say kawai is locking somebody down. That is a foul for 90 feet is what it is. They just aint calling it.
brodieben1 its not really hand checking. He puts his hand on the person for a short time but he does not do it all game. Either way hand checking should be allowed and if someone skinnier than lebron can stop him with just his hands then so be it.
+brodieben1 Quite borderline....by the rules the hand check is punished when u use both hands clutching the lower part of the body (common in the 90s).I think the refs made the right decision.
+brodieben1 Man some of you are clueless what is handchecking. Having your hands come in contact with another player's jersey without pushing or applying pressure to the other players body can't be consider handchecking. It's like those phantom foul calls that the NBA calls when there's no actual contact or pressure applied to another player's skin.
Hokage Itachi Uchiha and what lebron was averaging....have u checked that.....and was carrying the team.....and what about rebounds ....assits...if u know a little bit of basket ball...u will know the diffrence.....

@@demodiums7216 Isnt it ironic how these people say Lebron got “garbage time” stats whenever they had a 15+ deficit, but Kawhi blows a 3-1 lead after having 20+ point leads in consecutive games? Its almost like playing games through to the end is important or something LMFAO

+NatsuTheGamer he leave the cavs,then go to miami,when he saw wade getting old and injuried,he do it again to join a team with 2 stars,I can't find any word except "cowad" can describe lecoward james
is that the problem you dumbass? LeBron joined Cavs because he saw Kyrie can ball also Lebron is the reason why they have Love and how about Wade? Wade left Heat when his team has potential but then he left them it's not about the money its about HOME
NatsuTheGamer a coward
13ppg regular season Kawhi destroyed Lebron
23.7ppg the last 3 games on 69% shooting, 65% when guared by lbj
he also avg more rpg spg bpg than lebron the last 3 games with a better ast to ratio than lbj
shame on the heat and specially lbj's historically pathetic performance
5:32 lebron just holds the ball for 8 seconds freezing the offense and when he decided to drive he passed it to a teammate that was trapped in the corner leading to a turnover, damn the media is deciding that he's the goat what a shame.
0:39 -> That's good defense.
THAT'S DUNCAN AND KAWHI, OF COUSE IT'S GOOD DEFENSE. Not to mention Danny Green on help.
Kawhi is the best lockdown premieter defender of all time.
Hahaaaaa man lebron looks so vulnerable being guarded by kawhi😂😂😂😂
He doesn't have a go to move. LeBron's game is base on pick and roll and isolation
Lebron looks so vulnerable averaging 28 on 58/51/80 as the only threat to San Antonio. Your a moron.
@@Poopopotamusgaming struck a nerve ? 😭😭
@@Poopopotamusgaming Kawhi locked him down bruh admit it
@@Poopopotamusgaming 36% when guarded by Kawhi in that finals
Lebron really sucks at posting up and setting screens. Like how hard is it to set a good screen.
we can now agree that kawhi doesn't have the same defense like this anymore
he does , in san antonio he didnt have the burden on the offensive end , although he was always an offesive threat , now he is the guy , he has to carry their offense and leornards offensive game has has evolved and has become elite , he is a midrange killer ,
he isnt the clamper as he used to be because he is playing in a different system , doc and tye lue let him get the ball and do his thing iso , that isnt what pop used to do , spurs system is always about sharing the ball feeding the open man , and constant movement
not going iso on the block as scorrer , kawhi needs the ball sharing system like spurs or the warriors to unlock his full potential
@@sujalgautam9761 nah, look at the Kawhi from Toronto, that's his full potential! Both sides of the court perfect, but he was healthy and in prime. I'll bet anyday on Kawhi from Toronto, rather than Lebron from any season playoff!
yea with each injury his lateral movement speed took a hit, sad to see because in his defensive prime he was one of the best perimeter defenders this game has seen.
@@CovekBezSluha92 dats crazy and I’m a Kahwi fan
@@anonymousperson2223 In that playoff he averaged 30.5/9.1/3.9. He got a ring, without any superstars, hit a ton of clutch shots... Only Lebron from Miami 11/12 had that kind of playoff stats with a ring won... But Lebron had a super team and the difference is defense, Kawhi is a beast on defense! So Kawhi from Toronto is my pick anyday!
should show this to Shannon Sharpe every time he was scream LeBron James averages instead of looking at the game
Lejoke at it again. What a poser. He’s “bigger, stronger, faster” but certainly is not better than MJ. Anyone who saw them both play through their respective primes can recognize that.
Idk about being stronger and faster than MJ
It was not only Kawhi.. it was a concerted effort on Defense from different guys like Duncan, Diaw, Green..
Kawhi is an excellent defender but he also has the luxury of having Tim Duncan as a teammate who is their last line of defense. So when lebron goes past kawhi, he (kawhi) knew that TD will protect the rim.
Kawhi is the only player who can consistently lock down lebron, seriously no one else can do it as consistently
Never locked lebron a day in his life
Look how much help behind him
@@marcusgoreejr1771 did we watch the same video
he slows bron down he can't lock him up
@@aadilakha7310he slowed him down so much that 8 points in 40 minutes.
Credit where credit is due, Kawhi is a superb defender, but so much of what makes LeBron - who, with his athletic ability, should be unguardable - easy to guard is how stagnant Miami's offense was. Look how many times he's isolated with no movement, or runs pick and roll with no movement beforehand. How many possessions is LeBron the only one in motion, how many times is it just him and a screener?????
Kawhi is the best defender in the NBA, but this series might've showcased the worst offensive fundamentals of any team in Finals history.
Chris Riley u could not said it better
Dave jahoer
they won 2 titles that way its to bad lebron dont have a jumoer because they were giving him that shot all series!!
KeyBoard Warrior - but that has everything to do with the way LBJ plays and it showed in this year's finals. He gets a pass for dimes that are a function of his position but he loves to hold the ball on the perimeter at times. I wish he was smart like MJ and learned to play off the ball at times and just use his size to attack any mismatches.
KeyBoard Warrior kawhi is quite the physical specimen himself. Able to hold his own with Lebron. They have similar weights, with kawhi with the edge in speed cause he's young. Lateral quickness is beyond comprehension. He 6'7 with a 7'3.75 wingspan. He has 7'4 arms so he can give the illusion of dribble space and driving space but nope.
the only players that I think can stop lebron defensively is kawhi,butler,and draymond green
+Mark Byrd what about iguodala who won the finals mvp last season for his defense on lebron?
+Mark Byrd i think paul george too
Lmao Draymond green? lol boy
boris diaw. don't forget he kept lebron 3/18 when he was guarding him throughout the 2013 finals

@Kishon Moore Good point.
#OWNED BY KAWHI
LeFlop wasn't scared of Kawhi, he was TERRIFIED!
I would like to see Rodman or Pippen guarding LeBron.
+Dream Even though Lebron is 6"8 250 pounds he would not be able to handle the physicality, look how many times he flops in this era. Lebron would be crying all game & ask his mom to kiss his boo boo.
RODMAN SAID LECHOKE IS A ROLE PLAYER IN 90S
you know he only said that because pippen was trying to be humble but let be real here in pippen mind he eating lebron alive.
tengtx PIPPEN HUMBLE ????????
jayvanity If a 35 year old Bruce Bowen can lock Lebron down what makes you think Scottie Pippen would have any trouble? Not to mention Scottie says dumb shit all the time.
Bron had a minimum of three players on him damn near the entire time. Ginobli and Duncan swarmed him. Why people keep acting like he guarded him 1v1 is dumb.
Because he did. You could clearly see that Kawhi was the one who initiated the defense.
It would be hard for me to admit to if my fav player got locked like that😂 I understand gang
This is more embarassing than the 2011 finals. Lol.

This particular game LeBron scored in total more than 8pts but of only lowest counts even though Jordan had 2× as many with only 1 when he was a Rookie. Quite a bit of greats had these type of games
I like how Kawhi was all up in LeBron James grill when he was guarding him. He didn't give him any space like most defenders do. Leonard got excellent footwork too. That's another thing that stood out. Bruce Bowen was great at defense because he moved his feet well and contested every shot
Kawhi > Lebron for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nuff said.

Parker was playing amazing defense also.
Kawhi great defender. Lebron great overall player. Spurs great defensive team. Miami great offensive team. Can not compare when everyone on the spurs is helping on defense when Lebron’s picking up his dribble. While every Lebron turnover comes as a miscommunication and tight spurs zone defense. Miami did not play right, if they did, they should’ve got at least 5 chips. The team relies too much on their stars and did not set up consistent offensive and defensive plans.

It's more then just that. The defensive scheme the spurs ran was also a huge factor. Clogging up the lane as much as possible. Similar to what they did in 07
Because they didnt need defensive efforts anywhere else lol the Heat literally had 2 players who were offensively threatening, meanwhile the entire Spurs team went off
that´s the difference between Jordan and LeBron - nobody was able to shut down MJ
Because he played nobodies.

Kawhi had that man scared passing the ball depending on Chalmers and Norris Cole to get bucket 😂
And this is prime LeBron going against a young Leonard, when they meet in the playoffs this year the LAKERS better hope AD will be the difference maker because Leonard is in his prime now and LeBron is still good but Leonard will have the upper hand
They better hope AD can average 30-40 ppg like they said.
LMAO this is the most ironic comment now. Kawhi blew a 3-1 lead after being up by 20+ at half consecutive games. But when Lebron plays games through to the end after only being down 15+ at half, you all call it garbage time. Sad hypocrites you all are.

Kawahi had a nice defensive game there. But I'd like for someone to tell me what Bron's averages for the series were. (I already know, just thought you people needed a dose of reality)
I'm sorry, what? Dose of reality? Like Lebron and the heat suffering the worse finals lost in NBA history? How they got shut down 4 games to 1? How lebron admitted he's been shooting worse with Leonard guarding him? Yeah that's the reality. Kawhi is perhaps the only player who can lock down lebron. And he's proven it.
Victor Raposo He just did he definitely lock Lebron down 7 turnover and 8 points
farrellcityking1 he only shut lebron down 1 game. lebron usually schools leonard but he is the best defender lebron has ever faced 2nd is Butler and 3th maybe george

exactly he stat padds in blowouts then his groupies go but look at his numbers meanwhile he gets 15 points in 4th quarter in a game his team loses by 30 he did it again game 4 this year finals clearly stat padding instead of trying to come back shooting 3s in final minute it was so obvious!!
farrellcityking1 Averages mean nothing in the face of defeat
MJ and MAMBA never had that kind of body language against anyone, they were fearless Warrior's who never backs down no matter who was in front of them on defense 🤫 RIP MAMBA🙏
And now Kawhi is the best in the world currently.
Nope. Kawai didn't lock down Lebron. It's the people inside not Kawai himself.
You know Lebron blamed everyone else AND then had to correct his narrative
If it was LeBron playing the same defence Leonard is, people would say that he's reaching in
Kawhi fouls a fucking lot

This is what I'm talking about. Lebron is one of the all time greats no doubt, but when someone stands toe to toe with him; he doesn't rise to the occasion. Kobe and Jordan would have went off, that killer mentality that they posses Lebron doesn't have that. Yeah maybe he's a different kind of player but when someone is standing in font of you going toe to toe with you he doesn't have the same outcome.
More like when Lebron and Bosh are the only offensive threats they can just zone in on those two lol. Kobe and Jordan shot their teams out of games shooting over double and triple teams because your idiotic “killer instinct” concept. You are a complete dunce.

That’s the difference ( I’m a Heat Fan) between Lebron vs MJ ..In my opinion he would have schooled Leonard with unlimited offensive move 40pts and the key word is WILL he team to victory on the biggest stage
Very unlikely. MJ shot badly and got locked down by Payton, who while a very good defender, was nowhere as tall or strong as Kawhi. Too much MJ myth-making.

So what happened in Game 6 when MJ shot an abysmal 5-19 (26.3%) lol. Stop with the lying.
This was Lebron's worst game of the series, and yet he went 9-14 (64.3%). The difference between Lebron and MJ is just so stark.
Comparing their performances in those finals:
MJ 41.5% 2FG, 31.6% 3FG, 27.3 pts, 5.3 reb, 4.2 ast
Lebron 57.1% 2FG, 51.9% 3FG, 28.2 pts, 7.8 rebs, 4.0 ast
Lebron played way better but lost to Spurs 1-4. MJ played much worse but won the series 4-2. It's very revealing isn't it?
This tells us that it was MJ's superb supporting cast that won the finals (26.3% in game 6 and Bulls still won?!), against a much weaker opponent (1HOF player) compared to what Lebron was up against (4 HOFs).
Payton is not on the same level as Kawhi's defense. If he is shooting 41.5% against Payton, he will probably be shooting low 30% against Kawhi lol.
