I'll copy and past the stats:
Because unless you're brain dead and think scoring 48 night in and night out against the Hawks and Bulls during the regular season is superior to averaging 35/8/4/2 in a Finals where Antoine Walker was your 2nd leading scorer - it isn't that difficult.

"BUT HE HAD SHAQ" - Shaq wasn't Lakers 3-peat Shaq. He averaged 13.7PPG in the Finals and got out-scored by Antoine Walker. Who were the 2nd best players on those teams? Pau Gasol averaged 19PPG with Kobe in '10. Kyrie averaged 27PPG with Bron in '16. Siakam averaged 20PPG with Kawhi in '19 (and the opposing teams best and 3rd best players were out).
"OKAY, HE HAS 1 RING, HARDEN WOULDA 3-PEATED WITH LEBRON BIG 3 ERA" - NEED I fukkING REMIND YOU WADE WOULD HAVE WON HIS 2ND FMVP IN 2011 IF LEBRON COULD POST-UP JJ BAREA?
Wow look at that efficiency! If only Jason Terry (18PPG) didn't out-score Bron (17.8PPG) in a Finals - Wade would have 4 rings, 2 FMVPs, the Kobe debate vs. him would actually be quite legit. I could go on to mention how it's utter bullshyt Kobe made as many All-Defensive teams that he did on name alone while Wade in his prime was as elite on both ends of the floor - but I'm tired now and just needed to vent that we shouldn't have to deal with constant disrespect of the unquestioned 3rd greatest shooting guard of All-Time from Chicago, Illinois.
