Jerry west is 1-9 in the finals.
I love the Logo but he would killed today perpetually losing like that. Wade has 3 chips and similar stats. So that gives him the edge.
06 should be Dirks first chip though....those refs were criminal.

Ray Allen is not on Harden'a level let's be cereal here.
Harden being trash in the playoffs is overblown.
Playoff Averages
Vince Carter in New Jersey
26/7/5 on 42/33/77
Vince Carter in Toronto
25.7/6/5 on 42/36/81
James Harden in Houston
27/6/6 on 41/35/88 He takes about 10ft a game though i think.
and yet one was trash and the other putting up crazy numbers
AI was a bad defender steals=/= good defense having to hide him on defense is also a sign.
TMAC was amazing but you know how his injuries/playoff career went....

Like Wade wasn't playing godlike in 06 and Dallas having a meltdown in the finals. But we have this debate on here all the time

West averaged more points (without the three point line) assists, and rebounds, 10 time all NBA first team to 2, 4 time all defensive team to 0. Going to the finals 10 times is still impressive. It just sucks he ran into Russell's Celtics.

everyone had stupidly high stats in that era
getting to the finals doesnt mean much when you dont win.
losing in the finals just means you wouldnt have made the finals if you were in the other conference

Oh and fxck Harden's flopping self. I remember watching the Lakers game where Blake hit the game winner over Dwight, and early on in the game, the Lakers led by about 15. Harder proceeded to literally throw himself at defenders on back to back to back to back possessions and tied up the score with basically just free throws. Pure BS.

He up there. For me. Other than Jordan of course.
1. AI
2. Penny
3. Kobe
4. Melo
5. Blake (Rookie Season)
Those dudes were must see TV for me. Penny was the first NBA player I remember being a fan of as a kid and all I remember were dunks and 3's

True. I'm just a bit hesitant placing him in top 3 shooting guards in history when he really wasn't a very good, um, shooter.
I hope you feel the same about Lebron as you do with Jerry West.

There were only 3 rounds then I believe. 1st, then conference finals, then finals. Numbers were slightly inflated back then, but I will admit that if Jerry West had a 3pt line, he'd be still averaging 30. One of the best shooters ever....kind of evens out though because wade takes an insanely low volume of 3's. Prime wade was a better defender too though....Kobe robbed him of a few first team selections based on rep.

that time jerry west hit a half court shot at the buzzer to send a finals game into OT
I think they still lost that game, would they have won the series if that shot was a 3?

Maybe not. You have to adjust the score for every shot taken and made from 3pt range.

I'll say he's a better defender than Kobe then . In his prime he did it all,steals,rebounding,blocks

i dont think that would make much of a difference
in the 80s when there was a 3pt line they hardly ever shot any 3s
i dont think they would shoot any from that far out unless it was end of shotclock stuff

It's a shame that Luke Ridnour didn't get to be a backup pg on more good teams. Wasted away in Minnesota in his low top Kobe's....
