Lebron averaged over 60% on his 2 point % in 5 different years while averaging points in the high 20s and once in the low 30s
that is fantastic and very rare for anybody other than a center - and unheard of for a high scorer such as that (other than Wilt)
I'm not knocking any of these players but Larry Bird was never even close to that - neither was MJ and neither was Magic - Wemby has not gone over 60% but he's gotten close

Take Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Magic or Bird or GOAT-candidate-of-choice and make them 18 years old today with today's coaching, views on conditioning and modern sports science and medicine. They would be unbeatable monsters.
Karl-Anthony Towns. OG Anunoky. Mikal Bridges. Jalen Brunson. Landry Shamet.
Stefon Castle. De'Aaron Fox. Dylan Harper. Keldon Johnson.
Very intense game.
Kareem was totally awesome in just about every aspect of the game
he averaged 4 or more blocks per game in a couple of years
Wemby has been under 4 in all 3 of his years
they didn't keep track of blocks in Wilt's years until his final year
in that year at age 36 he averaged 5.4 blocks per game
many more blocks than either Kareem or Wemby
what a monster he was
Wilt and Kareem dunk on each other____________:)___________fun to watch

I’ll check on final score later…..

spurs had exactly 30 points in second half. Knicks 58Quote: SOOPOOThank God TV has an on off switch. No way I was gonna watch that disaster of a game with Knicks down 29, then 27 at the half. For them to win they’d have to hold the Spurs to what, 30 second half points? And that’s if they remember how to score. Free money too! Only had to lay 100-1 on Spurs. My $1k gets me a free $10!

107-106 final
it was the greatest comeback in finals history
the Knicks were down by 29 in the 3rd quarter
De'Aaron Fox went for a layup with 12 seconds left that was blocked by OG Anunoby
all he had to do was run out the clock and the Spurs would have won

and here's the tip in that won the game by OG Anunoby

wow - OG had the block and the winning tip in - just spectacular

I think the Fox angle is overblown. He would have been fouled a second later and need to make 2 free throws to go up 3. After watching Wemby clank two he probably thinks he makes that shot more often than he makes two free throws.
30 points in a half is historically dismal.

I disagree
he went right up in the guy's face trying to make a very difficult shot when they didn't necessarily need any more points to win
if it was an uncontested layup or dunk that would have been different
yes, he probably would have been fouled but he might have been able to run the clock down to 2 or 3 seconds making it harder for the Knicks to score
it was deserving of all of the criticism
it was a terrible play

Quote: billryanThere is plenty of blame to go around. I want the Spurs to win, and I enjoyed the first half enormously. About halfway through the third, I started to get a bad feeling. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the fourth quarter and am glad I witnessed such a historical game. San Antonio is a very young team, and hopefully, it will learn from this.

Wemby who is supposed to lead the team had a bad night
he made only 9 of his 25 shots
only 2 of 8 on his 3 pointers and only 7 of 17 on his 2 pointers
and only 4 of 7 free throws
.
It was both a classically great effort by the Knicks and a stupid, poor performance by the Spurs.
I also question whether the Spurs have the stamina they should have -the kind of stamina the Knicks have. They consistently look tired in the 2nd half.
I don't think they can legally do that, as credit card agreements require a vendor to accept all Visa cards if they accept any.

Huh? Just counting when a team down 1-0 scores next, that would be around half the time? So 1/2 to the 5th power is 1/32, or 3%. That’s not even counting 2-0 going to 2-2, or heck, 4-0 going to 4-4 which both happened in THIS series. There have been hundreds of Stanley Cup playoff series. Wanna change your guess?

Agony using AI to help. They list 2015 Final as first 6 games meeting the criterion most recently.

I will take your word for it. I was speaking specifically of the Stanley Cup series, not all playoff series. I just looked at the 2015 series and see I the first five games all determined by a single goal win and met the criteria. The sixth game was 2-0 so it did not. Did any Cup finals meet the criteria for all games?
