Did Lebron have a statistically good finals in 2011 vs the Mavs?

TheMuffinMan is saying we can clown him for the loss, but not his stats.

LeChoke averaged 17.8 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 6 games in the 2011 NBA Finals.

In game 4, he was 3-11 with 8 points

He got outscored by Jason Terry in the NBA Finals. I don't care how efficient he was. Getting outscored by Jason Terry is inexcusable. It would be the equivalent of MJ getting outscored by Detlef Schrempf in the '96 Finals. It was a joke of a performance.

LeBron doesn’t have a Jordan vs Jazz NBA Finals type shot.

LeBron been in the league for 20 years and nothing stands out besides a block.

LeBron choked in that series and everyone pretty much universally agrees with that.

That and the 3 he hit against Orlando. For someone who has the all time scoring record, he doesn’t have a lot of iconic plays.

Yea but he did deliver an all time great finals in 2016 averaging 29.8 pts, 11.3 rebs, 8.9 assists, 2.6 steals, and 2.3 blocks. That stat line in an NBA finals is absurd. And his opponent in that series won 73 games.

So he probably falls somewhere between bum and second greatest player of all time.

I blame Spoelstra and Wade’s one dimensional game. Lebron was the best player on the court, but he tried to play off ball because Wade was absolutely useless if he didn’t have the ball in his hands. The Mavs zoned the shite out of them and had Tyson Chandler manning the middle.

Carlisle was masterful.

You come on here and say something that is just stupid beyond stupid. Why? We watched his career play out and we were there, in living color. Plenty of last-shot heroics come to my mind in a nanosecond. And Jordan pushed off Russell to get that most memorable moment. The only reason you remember is that TV reruns it, period.

LeBron and the Lakers would never have taken a 3-1 lead against Memphis without yet another LeBron Playoff miracle.

LeBron came in the fourth quarter when the Lakers trailed by two points. With just a few seconds left before the final buzzer in regulation, LeBron managed to tie the game at 104-104 connecting on an amazing layup over the defensive MVP with less than one second remaining on the clock. The Lakers then get another clutch OT from LeBron and they win.


As noted by FS1’s Nick Wright, this was the seventh time in LeBron’s career that he has hit either a game-tying or game-winning shot in the final second of a playoff game.

Per Wright’s query on Stathead, no other player on record has ever made more than two shots like these in the postseason.

And just so you know, LeBron is also 7-for-12 (58.3 percent) on these opportunities.

And just for some context just among MVP contemporaries of his generation:

Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, Nikola Kokic, Steve Nash, Russell Westbrook, and other MVP winners in this era are a combined 6-for-50 (12.0 percent) on these possessions.


In short: You are an idiot. The next time you want to throw out mindless crap for all Lebron haters try to keep in mind you are speaking to fans that have watched all of his games.
