On August 8, 2025, 4 greatest finals performances in NBA history, 16 James is on the list

Yesterday, the beginning of autumn, and now I feel that the temperature difference between day and night is still relatively large, especially in Jiangxi. Autumn is a sentimental season and a relatively dry season. Eat more light food. I won’t say so much, let’s get back to the point. What should I talk about today? After thinking about it for about 10 minutes, I would like to talk to you about the 4 greatest finals in NBA history. It can also be said to be a personal exhibition match, it is like a cheat. Let’s take a look at which 4 finals are there?

1: The 2016 finals of James in the 2016 finals can be said to be the most exciting final in NBA history to win the championship, and it is also James's personal performance. Facing the Warriors who won 2 games with 73 wins, James dominated the next three games with averaging 36.3+11.7+9.7, especially in the 6th game of the Finals, he scored 41 points in the 6th game of the Finals. The blocking of Guy Guodara made the Warriors desperate. In the 7 games of the 16-year Finals, James ranked first in the two teams in five statistics, with 208 points + 79 rebounds + 62 assists + 18 steals + 16 blocks. This championship is extremely valuable and is the Cavaliers' first championship. It was also won by the Epic Warriors 1-3 behind in the face of 73 wins.

2: Iverson

2001 Finals, I still remember that I was still in the first year of high school, and I almost skipped classes to watch the finals. Although the 76ers led by Iverson lost 1-4 to the Lakers, Iverson's personal performance reached the extreme. At that time, the 76ers seemed to have only one Mutombo had a stronger defense. The others were role-level players, and Iverson was solely responsible for playing alone. In the 5 finals, Iverson faced the Lakers OK combination. Iverson averaged 35.6+5.6+3.8+2.8 per game, especially in the G1 game. Iverson led the team to win the Lakers 107-101, and Iverson also scored 48 points alone. The 2001 finals can be said to be Iverson fighting alone, fighting against the OK combination of the peak period with his thin body of 1.83 meters, making it hard for fans to forget that it was the impact of the spiritual level.

3: O'Neal in the 2000 Finals

O'Neal's performance in the 2000 Finals can be said to be at the monster level, with averaging 38 points, 16.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in 6 games. This data should be done by only O'Neal except Chamberlain. Although there were 2.11 meters Davis and 2.24 meters Smits in the Pacers team at that time, they almost had no choice but to face O'Neal. In the end, they even used double or even three players to limit O'Neal at the basket. However, O'Neal's ball quotient was also extremely high, and he could pass the ball to improve the Lakers' scoring performance for his teammates. In the end, he could not use the shark-cutting tactic and deliberately made a foul and let O'Neal get a free throw. The effect can be said to be very small. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Pacers 4-2 under O'Neal's leadership and won the championship, and O'Neal also won the FMVP.

4: Duncan in the 2003 Finals 6 games, Duncan's performance is a model of winning a single-core championship in NBA history. Duncan averaged 24+17+5.3+5.3 in these 6 games. The first three are scores, rebounds and assists, and the last one is blocked. At that time, Parker and Ginobili were still in their growth stages except Duncan. Parker and Gillo Billy averaged just 14 points and 11.8 points per game. Facing the Nets' Big Three Kidd, Martin and Jefferson, the Spurs were completely supported by Duncan on the offensive and defensive end. With Duncan's all-round performance, the Spurs finally defeated the Nets 4-2 to win the championship. Duncan in 2003 can be said to have perfectly performed the ultimate personal performance.

There are fans or may say that Jordan can also contribute 41+8.5+6.3 per game in the 1993 Finals. I checked it. Jordan averaged 31.7 shots in the 1993 Finals, which was the one with the most shots in the Bulls and Suns. The second leader Pippen performed better in offense and defense, and could achieve 21.2+9.2+7.7+2.3 per game. Do you still say Jordan is right when he sees these?
