This is crazy. LeBron has a 39 point almost triple double and Kyrie has 38 points and they STILL lose. KD ruined basketball. Jujuju

Stop whinning that KD has passed BronBron in both Super Team creationism and play on the court.

Kyrie was absolutely amazing last night. Every single one of those drives was contested by 3 or 4 Warriors. Dude is just fucking fearless. He looked gassed by 4th quarter.

Lebron has better stats, KD has a better team.

KD is averaging 2 more points per game, 2 fewer rebounds and 4 fewer assists. Lebron is one of the best passing forwards this game has ever seen. The stat difference isn't that big. KD is a better player at this point in time.

Statistically better in every individual stat that matters. About to pass him in Finals scoring.

This is ironic when he's "about to pass him" having played 43 Finals Games to Jordan's 35. Lebron going to end up with as many Finals losses as Jordan has wins.

KD clear NBA Finals MVP. One of the best Finals performances since Jordan, clearly.

He also did it in less attempts with a higher fg%. Don't cherry pick stats like that.

Got a link to page that shows these stats? I can find a breakdown for overall playoffs but not just the Finals. Jordan has a better career FG% overall in the playoffs currently, but can't find a list for just the Finals. 8 more games played still a larger factor for me.

The fact that LeBron has more finals played and less wins says it all.

Team. Sport.

Jordan's Bulls were better teams. They played against worse teams in the Finals. Blah blah. I realize LeBron haters don't care about shit like facts though so its cool.

Worst was Portland, best was probably the Sonics or the Jazz. None of them were even close to as good as this Warrior's team or the 14 Spurs team.

Again, to reiterate, Jordan never even got passed the first round, getting swept out even, until the Bulls acquired Pippen and Grant. He was scoring 63 points in first round losses.
