tim duncan made first team all-nba & all-defensive second team as a ROOKIE. in year 2, he gave you a finals mvp (27 PPG, 14 RPG & 2 BPG), all-nba first team & all-defensive first team. we absolutely love wemby, but we have to chill out w/the recency bias.
This game being framed as some return of a wronged hero RE: Wemby, rather than a guy who was very fortunate he wasnโt suspended after wildly flagrant elbow to an opponentโs throat is just wild to me.
LeBron played on (3) or played against (2) 5 of these 11.
Considering 2012 SAS and 2010 ORL were just worse versions of 2013 + 2014 SAS and 2009 ORL + counting for obviously the 73-9 2016 GSW โ just absolutely wild career LeBron has had in the playoffs.
More history for OKC!

2006: Facing a 64 win team with a championship core in the 2nd round, LeBron leads the series in PPG, but the next 4 highest scorers were all on the other team.

The unluckiest great player in sports history.
Nikola Jokiฤ this season:
28.7 PPG (Higher than Hakeem any year.)
13 RPG (Higher than Duncan any year.)
10.8 APG (Jason Kidd's career high.)
43% 3PT (Reggie Miller's career high.)
67% FG (Higher than Shaq any year.)
Gilbert Arenas says no one respects your ring if youโre the second option
"The one who's leading the team... that ring counts. The second option ring... no one respects it."
