[@jaykall1171]

2006 Wade is almost unmatchable. People talk about his FT attempts in game 5, but realistically, that game is ranked 13th amongst most FT games of all-time. Not only that- but it’s like an 8 way tie for 13th place. 1 less freethrow puts him from about 20 on that list, to 30. Edit; that all being said- he was also constantly driving to the lane which results in more FT attempts, the Mavs didn’t have someone doing that. MJ got to the line constantly in his career but he was constantly driving. Just stuff to consider when talking about the 2006 finals.

[@captaincortez4917]

I think 2011 Dirk deserves a mention at least here. Maybe it wasn't the best statistical performance, but he just had moment after moment in the finals against Miami in 2011. The Game 2 winner which capped off a 15-point comeback in the final 7 minutes, Game 4 performance where he was actually a bit sick yet still outperformed himself and Game 6 dagger over Chris Bosh... Plus, like his long-time rival Tim Duncan, he did not have a bona fide Super Star alongside (maybe Jason Kidd and Jason Terry, but I'm not sure) yet he lead a win over prime Chris Bosh, best Dwayne Wade as a part of the Big Three and LeBron.

[@kennyfuentes23]

Where magic in 1980,he was a rookie and put up 22/11/ 9 on 57% FG.And he was put up these numbers when Kareem suffered a severely sprained ankle.He managed to come back in the game in the fourth quarter to lead the Lakers to victory and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.And then in game 6 magic recorded 42 points and 15 rebounds playing the center position to win the NBA title. So magic in 1980 should be on here.

[@TyroneNBAFan]

No he shouldn't lol. 1980 Magic wasn't better than anyone on this list. He wasn't even the best player in that series (Kareem was). You want to give Magic a spot based on one game.

@@sportslangtv2181 bro mj can’t guard lbj? Bro lbj can’t even guard kobe and Jordan better than Kobe, bro how you say a guy with 9 all defensive first team selections and a DPOY cant guard somebody? And stop acting like LeBron got that much over Jordan he only got 2 inches over him and 25 more pounds bro that ain’t nothing in the league, even if you got a great body but no skill, you ain’t doin shit on the court bruh you a clown or something? And if the Warriors could shoot over everybody why were they bricking in the last few games of the 2016 series?

I will take the 23ppg, 27rpg, 6apg, 5bpg on 54% shooting over 7 games which included a 7th game 30 point 40 board performance.

Seriously? Leaving magic Johnson out for the 1980s finals performance???!!! Wow! Magic Johnson averaged 21.5 points, 11.2 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 6 games in the 1980 NBA Finals in his rookie season and played all 5 positions! A 20 years old going against Dr. J and Daryl Dawkins? Game 6: 42 points, 15 rebounds & 7 assists!!!!! Your list is ok but leaving that performance out is a crime!!

I agree.

Honorable Mention not top 5

@@dhollins lol. I’ve watched every NBA finals since the 70s. If you choose not to recognize the fact that magic Johnson‘s performance was one of the greatest of all times and you think it’s just an honorable mention, I think you’re biased. Your assessment is wrong.

​@@hab9609 how does that me biased. Did i say it wasn't one of the greatest no i said not 5. its top 10 but not top 5. and since this a top 5 list it makes honorable mention. sound like your the biased one not me LOL

[@hab9609]

@@dhollins I just disagree with you. This is made by some guy but I think he’s wrong. A lot of people roils disagree with him as well as you. Especially people who’ve watched more than the finals in the 90s & 2000s. Some of its subjective I know. … But if you consider a 20-year-old kid who only finished 2 years of college. Played against the best team in the East. Played against every position including Daryl Dawkins who was a beast, Dr J who was at the top of his game averaging 22 points, 15 assists and 7 boards. And the eliminating game 42, 15, 7… wow if that doesn’t make top 3, I have no idea what the hell criteria you’re working with.
