In the eyes of many NBA stars, the championship is their highest pursuit. This is the case for Jordan, Kobe, and now James. If you want to win the championship, leading the team into the playoffs is the first step, and passing through many obstacles to get out of the division is the second step. Only in the finals will you have a chance to compete for the O'Brien Cup. Therefore, the performance on the finals stage is one of the important factors to measure the strength of superstars. James' 1,383 points in the Finals rank second in history. Do you know where he ranks in rebounds, assists, steals, blocks and other statistics?
Lao Zhan has a strong scoring ability, averaging 27.1 points per game in the regular season, 28.9 points per game in the playoffs, and 28.2 points per game in the finals. His performance is stable and strong. As the most outstanding star in active service, James's team leadership ability is undoubtedly the strongest. When he was 23 years old, he led the team to the finals with a single core. After reaching his peak, he led the team to the finals for 8 consecutive years. He scored 1,383 points in the Finals, second only to Jerry West throughout NBA history.
In terms of rebounding, James also performed well. As a small forward, James has a strong body and explosive athletic ability. When the full-power James mode is turned on, James must compete for every ball and is also very strong in rebounding. He averaged 10 rebounds per game in the finals, which is already comparable to post players. He grabbed a total of 490 rebounds, ranking fifth in the Finals, second only to Russell, Chamberlain, Baylor and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Organizing ability is one of James' labels. He is a representative of all-around forwards. James' success relies not only on his strong talent, but also on his outstanding golf intelligence that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Lao Zhan has an excellent overall view, has a broad passing vision, and is recognized as an organizational master. On the finals stage, James' connection is also a weapon for the team. This is the reason why opponents dare not double-team him. James has 379 assists in one game, ranking second in history, second only to the legendary point guard Magic.
James is a very good defender and was selected to the All-Defensive Team many times when he was young. Today's pace is not as fast as before, but the defensive awareness and skills are still there. His stealing skills are also very good. He made 86 steals in the finals, which is also ranked second in history, second only to Magic Johnson.
When it comes to blocking shots, I believe the fans are very impressed. In the regular season, James is a master of blocking shots, and he is a frequent visitor to the top five goals. On the finals stage, James also had many classics. That year's front-end blood cap Split and The Block in 2016 were both legendary moments. James blocked 43 shots in the finals, ranking sixth in history, second only to famous insiders such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Duncan, O'Neal, Olajuwon, and Parish.
In general, Lao Zhan ranks second in history with 1,383 points in the finals, fifth in history with 490 rebounds, second in history with 379 assists, second in history with 86 steals, and third in history with 43 blocks. 6th position, such a performance is really too strong.
