Is Klay Thompson in Game 6 in 2016 the most consequential performance in modern NBA history?

Couldn't beat the warriors up 3-2 but I'm supposed to believe they beat the champs that year. It's all would've could've should've.
This has already been debunked a million times.

GS were relatively at full strength and were essentially playing at the peak of their powers in the WCF. That series took a lot out of them (conversely the Cavs had an easy run to the Finals). GS went up 3-1 in the Finals - Steph was deteriorating, Bogut got injured, Iggy was hobbled with his back, Dray got suspended and a whole lot of favorable officiating allowed Cavs to get back into it.

Replay that series 10 times and GS is winning it 8-9 times.

If Cavs played the version of GS that OKC faced, they would’ve lost 4-1 or 4-0. If OKC played the version of GS that Cavs faced, they would’ve won 4-2.

Cavs were really the 3rd-best team that season, they were just fortunate with how the postseason unfolded.

Cavs swept them that year. You underestimate just much easier it was the Cavs to matchup with a non shooting backcourt.

I've searched the Multi Verse like Dr. Strange and Bron always tops out at 4. If he goes the non-hoe route he only gets 2, and only in Universes that COVID exists that he actually gets 4 :yeshrug:

Jordan and Kobe max out at 8 if you wondering
You're using outdated Endgame logic.

Based upon Loki this is only universe where Bron has just 4 rings. The powers that be are trying to keep this the sacred timeline so there is a tougher GOAT debate.

Lebron’s performance against the Raps in round 2 of the 2018 playoffs. The Cavs swept the top seeded raps in 4 straight games. This disappointing and gutless no show by the raptors led to the firing of coach of the year Dwayne Casey and the promotion/hiring of former assistant coach nick nurse.
.it led to demar derozan and Jakob poeltl being traded to San Antonio for Kawhi Leonard and Danny green.
It led to the trade of Jonas valanciunas and Delon Wright to Memphis in return of Marc gasol
It led to the raptors taking Jeremy Lin off waivers
It led eventually to the raptors first e et championship
It led to Kawhi leaving to the clippers( free agent decision) Paul George trade between the thunder and the clippers( and thunder getting Shai gilgeous Alexander )
It led to clippers and thunder being competitive contenders.



Zaza pachulia deliberately hurting Kawhi in game 1 of the 2017 WCF…
