Basketball fans love acting like only LeBron James has playoff failures while ignoring bad playoff series from other all-time greats.

2011 First Round:

#1 seed San Antonio Spurs lost to the #8 seed Memphis Grizzlies 4-2.

34-year-old Tim Duncan averaged:

12.7 PPG
10.5 RPG
47.8% FG

Meanwhile Memphis controlled the series with:

Zach Randolph
21.5 PPG
9.2 RPG
50% FG

Marc Gasol
15.0 PPG
11.2 RPG
2.2 BPG

And somehow this series rarely gets brought up in all-time debates.

Also don’t switch the standards and start blaming injuries or age here either, because fans rarely care about context when discussing LeBron’s playoff losses or injured teammates.

Every superstar and Hall of Famer has bad playoff moments. That’s part of basketball history.

Comment who should be next

You have to beat this lineup in a 7-game series:
Damian Lillard
Tracy McGrady
Paul George
Amar’e Stoudemire
Dwight Howard
What’s your counter starting 5?
Rules:
No MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Curry, etc.
Only players outside the all-time Top 15
Fit matters just as much as talent

Who y’all building to stop them?

Can still get gold brick wall for the people worried about the strenght
