, LeBron James, who was never reversed and eliminated under a 3-1 lead in his career, scored 38 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists in the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals, leading the Lakers to eliminate gold nuggets and advance to the finals. According to statistics, James achieved 38 wins and 10 losses in the end of his career series, with a winning rate of 79.2%, ranking first in history (at least 25 games)
This is the Lakers' return to the finals stage after 2009-10, and it is also the 9th time James has reached the finals in the past 10 years. In league history, only the Lakers, Celtics and Warriors have reached the Finals more times than James alone.
This made former teammate Kendrick Perkins couldn't help but exclaim: What else is there to say? 58% of James' careers are in the finals. I don't care if it's in Cleveland, Miami or Orlando Quarantine. To reach the finals, it's as normal for James as you have to go to work the next day.
. In history, only four of them have entered the finals at least 10 times, namely Bill Russell, Sam Jones and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but James still has 1 point that his predecessors cannot reach.
That is, James has achieved this under three different teams, the Cavaliers, Heat and Lakers, and 5 different coaches. This is a huge challenge that the other three have not faced, and he also has the opportunity to challenge the fourth championship in his career.
James in the past reached the finals in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, and won the championship three times in 2012, 2013 and 2016.
