Was the Lebron James' end of game and over-time performance against Detroit the greatest in NBA playoff histor

It's hard to name the absolute best singular performance, but if I had to I'd pick one it would be Magic Johnson's 42 point, 15 rebound, 7 assist game as a rookie in the deciding game of the NBA Finals. Lebron's performance is right up there with that one. Who else can you remember scoring that many consecutive points (25) in a deciding game, in such crucial situations, against a solid veteran team in the conference finals?
Other performances worth mentioning is Elgin Baylors 61 point game in the Finals (but they lost that game and the NBA was still young in the 60's) and Michael Jordan's 35 point, 6 three pointer half. Isiah Thomas and Reggie Miller both scored 25 in a single quarter in the playoffs. Those are the only ones I can think of, but Lebron's performance has put him in the company of legends.

Maybe not. Michael Jordan might have something to say about that. One great game from Lebron shouldn't make us forget the great performances by MJ.
But Lebron's performance is legend material. It's really amazing and spectacular. And considering the fact that he is just 22, has never been in the nba conference finals before, and having the Detroit Pistons as opponents make his performance an out-of-this-world one. It's just unbelievable and you couldn't ask for a better game than that.

More like Detroit pulled off one of the biggest defensive choke jobs in playoff history. Letting one guy score his teams last 25 points, some of them even by just going to the basket untouched is kinda sad especially for a top defensive team.

Yes I think Lebron in now the man, his game was so great that I think it passes Magic Johnson's Championship game heroics and Michael Jordan's, Willis Reed, Isiah Thomas, and the others.

maybe not the greatest but one of the greatest the only reason it is not the greatest is because it didnt win the series yet and it wasnt the finals while the performance itself may have been the greatest the importance also comes into factor

Only for Cavs fans. His performance is barely top 20 by overall playoff history standards.

Not even close, the refs handed them that game. Why don't all you losers that obviously don't know anything about the NBA besides Lebron James get off his nuts.

What God might have for us is maximum dazzling. the top interest? What end interest? There are truly outcomes whichever way. in basic terms God can do God's will the mostest. i in my view, shall purpose to do as God might have me do... God speaks to us all in many procedures, alongside with voices, desires, visions and so forth. loose will operates out of selection, loose will is thereabouts the devil's will, to me in my view. it relatively is an apple genesis tale lower back. do no longer settle for apples from the devil. do no longer settle for apples from the devils. Ask God approximately apple of existence, & apple of understanding. do no longer take from the centre tree. God so is established with. Ask God first. lots of my braincells look to think of they have a will, whilst in fact, all they have is volition. God is established with. Will is basically undesirable, i in my view would not bypass alongside that direction. Grace is maximum more suitable. Grace comes at Grace velocity. thank you be to God.
