The Worst Finals Peformances you never hear about (THREAD)
Patrick Ewing had a very poor performance in the 1994 Finals, he averaged 19-12 on a terrible 36% FG, especially for a center. Ewing only had one good performance in the entire series in Game 5, when he had 25-12 on 52% with 8 blocks.
Kobes 2004 Finals was really bad. Like Ewing in 1994, Kobe only had one good game in the entire series Kobe played solid defense on Rip Hamilton for the series, but that doesn't make up for his incredibly poor offensive output. Kobe averaged 22.6 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 4.4 apg on 38%
Dirk was able to lead the Mavs to the title in 2011, because it made people forget about Dirk's 2006 Finals performance.Dirk had a very poor series in the 2006 Finals, finishing with avg of 23-11 on a poor 39%. Jason Terry nearly outscored Dirk in this series avg 22 ppg on 48%
Lastly, Dennis Rodman in the 1998 NBA Finals played 30.3 MPG and avg a horrific 3 and 8. Although they won the series that dosent make up for the horrible performance that he had in that finals. If they had lost that series our views would be different on Dennis right now.
