What other player in the NBA could have put up 40 points 18 rebs and 9 assists after being called out and needed to win to even up a series? Could any other player not named Lebron do it??

I don't think so...

Kevin Durant, Michael Jordon, Clyde Drexler, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant

could have


probably a handful, but no one has. I can't stand Lebron but he was fricking excellent yesterday.

Most of the other players good enough to do it wouldn't get themselves in this position in the first place.

Youre right, no superstar in this league has ever lost a game or been in a hole in a series

Youre really reaching for this one man

I can't think of one that has the reputation for shitting the bed in end of the game situations such that the media would call them out the way LBJ got called out.

OP asked what other player COULD...Hell, I COULD have listed every single player in the NBA and the D-League. Any player is capable of doing it...it's just a matter of it actually being accomplished.

Joel Anthony played 34 minutes in game 2 and didnt score... He'd be first on my list of players that have no shot at this.

Its only been done one other time in the history of the playoffs. This isnt someting Boobie Gibson is capable of.

Why stop at the D-League? How about every college basketball backup could do it or even every high school basketball player? What a joke. 40 points with 9 assists is hard enough to do but 19 rebounds too. Very few players are even CAPABLE of doing it

Kevin Love could put up single game numbers like that. Good call.

Rondo would be one of a few players that could even come close to that as far as filling all three categories are concerned.
