Ohh so now +/- is the be all end all. I’m sure if AD has the better +/- while Lebron had those stats you’d say the same thing! AD has clearly been the best Laker this series, and Lebron knows it too, which is why he quit after he went down like the front running bundle of sticks that he is (love how you ignored that because it’s indefensible).

It's yet another aspect that proves his superiority to the rest of the NBA. And AD never has the better +/- than LeBron because his impact on the game isn't as significant. It was the same way in the Finals last year too when LeBron carried that group to the title.

Paul George was 4th, so he’s definitely a top 5 player and the best player on the Clippers over Kawhi! Rudy Gobert was also top 5, so he’s obviously a top 5 player too! |

I mean, LeBron was injured for a portion of the season and giving a half effort when he wasn't injured considering he's nearly 37 years old and coming off a title run that went into October. So yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised at all if Curry had a larger impact than him this season.

Anybody with an objective bone in their body can’t look at those stats I posted and say that Lebron has been “by far” the best player on the court in this series.
Only a Bronsexual would use +/- to make that ridiculous claim. |

There is no be-all, end-all advanced stat in basketball. They're all just tools to form conclusions about players. The funny thing about these tools, though, is they all seem to point in one direction towards LeBron and have for the better part of two decades now. |

That does make me think that Lonzo Ball is far better now than he's been given credit for, though. I did think he'd make a good NBA player coming out of the draft and it seems he finally has.

Except the ones you’re choosing to ignore in favor of the one that fits your narrative for this series. In no way has Lebron been “by far the best player on the court” in this series. Even if he’s been better, which he hasn’t, to say it’s “by far” is a reach only a Bronsexual would attempt to make. If there were any truth to that, then Lebron wouldn’t have quit on his team yesterday after AD went down. |

Yeah, I think it would be fair to say LeBron was the best player on the court in the series even if you just ignored the +/- situation. Not really all that close either, just like it wasn't all that close when LeBron won Finals MVP last October. |

In the only 2 games they won, AD was clearly the best player. Lebron might’ve been more consistent throughout, but AD has clearly been the difference in winning/losing. |

When only one of your elite players shows up in all four of the games (rather than just two of the games), I'd tend to say that that player was clearly the best in the four games.
