Damn 41 triple-doubles with only 79 games? I'm not sure I can do that in NBA2k13 My Player

[Dre Day]

LBJ has two less pts with 2 more rbds, 2 more assists, shooting 4 more percent and just broke an NBA record for 30 pts in 6 games shooting 73% from the field. KD is not even in the same class as LBJ, sit down young blood.

Best overall player ever

[Tripster60]

if your specific enough I could break that record

[Jay Diaz]

I was talking about finals mvp's mainly which oscar has none theres a pattern of those 11 they all have at least one finals MVP (besides Russell who would obviously have at least one probably 7-9)

[sleepee11]

why does that even matter?

we're talking about basketball, not the fucking civil rights movement.

smh...

[sleepee11]

rings are team achievements. they don't represent individuals' skills.

robert horry has 7 rings. that doesn't mean he was better than allen iverson, or charles barkley, or reggie miller, or patrick ewing, all of whom had 0 rings between them.

that sure as hell doesn't mean he should be spoken of in the same breath as jordan who has 6.

Oscar revolutionized the game. guards play the game nowadays the way they do because of him.

you can hardly say the same for kobe or jerry west.

[Jay Diaz]

Come on this is all time wise kobe 2 finals MVP's 5 rings, jerry west 1 finals mvp 2 rings, shaq 3 finals 4 rings mvp's duncan 3 finals mvp's 4 rings to oscar robertsons 1 ring that kareem won for him.

[Emil Goubasarian]

6 rings more then 4 MVP more then 11 all-star appearances a lot of scoring tit.a couple of all defensive
