His jumper looked back to the very good playoff form in the 4th. Those 3s were backbreakers and he had another one that was half way down. Felt a lot betterRare you see LeBron with 27 shots....just 4 ft attempts.
I am concerned that he's losing his 3 ball before the finals.
He needs to do a better job on the boards as well.
He's gonna break it in Boston. Can't wait.Now 27 points short of tying MJ for most playoff points of all time.
Goat.

Not that it's talked about much but I feel like his record is going to be damn near unattainable. Look how many years he's gone deep, and look how many years he's going to go deep.
So I've been laughed at for this but I firmly believe LeBron James will play longer than Kevin Durant. There is a variety of reasons, but id bet money on it.Yeah, I mean Durant has 2800 points... basically 3100 behind. Westbrook 2200, Curry 1800, Harden 1800, Kawhi 1400. Anyone else who is closer is old and basically retired at this point. I would expect LeBron is going to basically keep pace with anything that Durant does over the next 3-4 years or so. So Durant would have to have 6-7 more deep runs (15+ playoff games) after LeBron retires to run him down, all while keeping pace right now (which is quite possible if the Warriors don't split up). I don't think that's happening because I don't see Durant staying healthy to play long enough to do that.

The gap in playoff games played will be stupid when it's all said and done. Even if we sweep 2 rounds every year, how many guys can say they play about 20 playoff games a year?
Another record that will belong to LBJ. It's crazy to think bc Durant seems like the more natural scorer but LeBron is only .1 pt behind Durant's average for his career. Durant came in 1 year later than LBJ & missed nearly an entire year. Two things that will be hard to recover from. Also how crazy is it that LeBron had a higher ppg than KD this year? Improving jumper and hopefully FTs as he ages.I mean, it's possible he could retire before LeBron. He's a little less than 4 years younger than LeBron. And he's obviously more fragile. But yes, LeBron will basically play as many games as Durant for the next several years barring Durant leaving the Warriors or them going downhill (or the Cavs somehow losing in the East).
I sort of think Durant wants the all time points record, so I wouldn't be surprised if he plays quite a while as well though.
Durant will finish top 5, but not sure he can get to 1. First he has to stay healthy something he has never done. Second has to duplicate his points for his 19-28 years for his 29-38 years. Thats basically averaging 28 points a game for the next 8 years healthy or 25 points 10 years averaging 70 games a year(his career average games/year). Be might play after 28 but those are some big averagesI mean, it's possible he could retire before LeBron. He's a little less than 4 years younger than LeBron. And he's obviously more fragile.

Not to mention, when LeBron does break it, you think he will leave the door open for Durant?

RJ said on FSO that Deron Williams missed shootaround with a bug today, and that LeBron had been dealing with the same one the last couple days.
