Despite leaving the game late in the 4th with heat leg cramps and watching his team lose, LeBron James joined Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant as the only players in NBA history to reach 4,000+pts, 1,000+ast, and 1,000+reb in the postseason tonight.

Gave me cause to look up Wilt Chamberlain's stats
He had 300 more rebounds than points in the post season

Often find it amusing when today's players are compared to the champions of yesteryear.
Wilt Chamberlain's point were all 2 points.
The NBA adopted the three-point shot 1979-80 season.

Lets just say they are all wonderful players in their own right! Statistics are only an initial indicator at best.
Apologies to Shack and a few others I would include if I was comapring teams of 10 players or so.
My point is that there are so many super stars from different eras, superficial statistics are meaningless when you play team v team...

You raise a very good point bear and I have to agree. Each player has their role within their team.
However if it was team vs team you wouldn't have 5 out of your 8 players centres.

Only 600+ points, 1300+ rebounds, 400+ blocks behind Tim Duncan.
Depending on how long this series goes Timmy may or may not make 5k playoff points.
Plenty of Greatness and History playing the other side of the ball this series.
