How difficult is it to score 500 points in the finals? Only three major players have done it, and Irving Durant failed

NBA Finals are about to start, and this year is a showdown between two small markets. The Thunder breaks through the West and defeats the powerful all the way, showing the league's first dominance. The Pacers stood out in the East, as the fourth-ranked team in the East, defeating the strong team three consecutive rounds and making a comeback all the way without being optimistic. Alexander, Halliburton and others are also excellent young people, which is very interesting. So how difficult is it to score 500 points on the finals stage? Only three major players in the current service did it, and Irving Durant failed the exam.

Leonard is an active superstar and one of the few players to win two FMVP trophys. He was a great success with the Spurs and the Raptors, winning the championship in 2014 and 2019, and losing to the Heat on the finals stage. Although he played in the finals three times and won two FMVP trophys, Leonard scored only 362 points in the finals.

Looking at Irving and Durant, both of them are big players. Irving helped the team enter the finals for three consecutive years during his time. Last year, he successfully led the team to the finals with the Mavericks. He was not at a disadvantage in the fight against Curry that year. He scored 459 points in the finals, but also failed to break through the 500-point mark. Durant is one of the best scorers in the league today. He led the team to the finals when he was in the Thunder. After joining the Warriors, he also entered the finals for three consecutive years, with a total score of 455 points.

Thompson is a core member of the Warriors Dynasty. As the Splash Brothers, his backcourt combination with Curry is impeccable. Thompson is 2.01 meters tall, tall, strong defense, sharp three-pointers on the offensive end, and excellent empty cut without the ball. Under the Warriors system, he can be said to be like a fish in water. He helped the Warriors win 4 championships. As long as he stays healthy, Thompson is the top scorer in the league. His finals score also reached 610 points, ranking third in the active service. As the league's super point guard, Curry's style of playing can be said to be a unique existence. Curry is the best scorer in history, his three-point shooting ability is unparalleled, and Curry's one-on-one skills are also perfect. He is very stable in terms of breakthrough, throwing or mid-range shots, which also makes him a big killer in the finals. He won 4 championships and won 1 FMVP trophy, and scored 928 points on the finals stage. This performance is impeccable.

James is one of the league's appearances and one of the most powerful players in leading the team. James has led the team to win championships in the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers, and at his peak, he led the team to the finals for eight consecutive years. Such a resume is top-notch in NBA history. At that time, as long as there was James, he could basically make it to the finals. He also scored sharply on the highest stage, with a score of 1,562 points in the finals, ranking first in the active service.
