Top Finals scorers' average share % of points:
In hindsight for anyone curious:
MJ's average: 34.30%
Bron's average: 29.15%
- Bron really stunk it up in 2011
- This dispels the notion LBJ had "no help"
- This also strengthens the narrative that the real reason his teams keep losing is because of the system that everyone is forced to play/adjust through him (and in the process, inflates his stats).
The most valid claim to the "no help" narrative isn't even in 2018 (his standom aggressively pushes this because his Cavs were swept), but in 2015 when Kevin Love couldn't play after the 1st round and Kyrie Irving got injured in Game 1.
The highest average of % of team points is by Shaq, who averaged 34.47% from 2000-02.
And yes, I believe one player can carry his team offensively (or defensively), but it's ludicrous to say one individual can win on his own in a team sport.
