Tim Duncan* 2859: 4. Over 164 career postseason games, he put up 23.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per contest.He's also Boston's career leader in playoff points, assists and steals.Between Bird and Russell, there really isn't a wrong answer here. Even Shaquille O'Neal, who is the team's all-time leader in playoff rebounds, may deserve some consideration for his dominance during the three-peat.But the answer is Magic Johnson, L.A.'s all-time leader in postseason If Kareem was the foundation, Magic was the architect of Showtime. He's the organization's all-time leader in postseason Two slides in and we're already getting controversial. He's the organization's all-time leader in postseason Two slides in and we're already getting controversial.

All the questions that I had were answered. He nearly In 2008, at 22 years old, he pushed the dynastic San Antonio Spurs to seven games in the second round. In those four Finals series alone, he went for And of course, he brought the Cavs their only title in franchise history when he beat the 73-9 Golden State Warriors in 2016. He's averaged 17.0 points and 6.3 assists in the postseason with the Raptors.He's also first in team history in playoff wins over replacement player, but his lead there is pretty narrow, and that is what's so impressive about Kawhi Leonard's lone postseason with Toronto.In 2018-19, Leonard led Toronto to its only title with playoff averages of 30.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.7 steals. He'd averaged 31.0 points in Games 1-3 and had 28 in 26 minutes before leaving Game 4. Nothing showed that better than his legendary "In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Miller and the Pacers were down six with 18.7 seconds left.Miller caught an inbounds pass while cutting toward the sideline, wheeled around and drilled a three in one fluid motion. They held off all three of those organizations for two full years when they had plenty of talent.In the lead-up to his first title, Donnie Walsh, then the president of the Indiana Pacers From the Dream Shakes to the swats and everything in between, Olajuwon controlled games on both ends of the floor during multiple deep playoff runs, and he dominated a couple of high-profile individual matchups.A year earlier, he dispatched Patrick Ewing and the New York Knicks in the Finals, topping his opponent in points and assists per game while holding him to 36.3 percent shooting from the field.Olajuwon had a legendary career, thanks in large part to those postseason travails.In Games 3 through 6, all Miami wins, Wade averaged 39.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks. He also averaged 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks across his 179 postseason games.The list of players he eliminated from the playoffs over the course of his career is a whopping From 1991 through 1998, the Chicago Bulls winning playoff series felt inevitable (though the Orlando Magic upended them in 1995 when Jordan returned from his baseball venture). Prior to the arrival of Malone, all those marks were If anyone else wasn't convinced, surely the playoffs took care of that. Michael Jordan's career regular-season numbers leap off the screen, but his 6-0 record in the NBA Finals truly sets him apart.Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are near the top of several career leaderboards, but their battles with team accomplishments on the line defined their rivalry.With the 2020 postseason on the horizon, set to be played under unprecedented circumstances amid the coronavirus pandemic, another legend-making performance may be on the way.Someone may suddenly have an argument to join the ranks of those listed below as the greatest playoff superstars for each of the league's 30 organizations.Over 60 years ago when the organization was in St. Louis, the Atlanta Hawks won their one and only NBA championship.The leader of that squad, which topped Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics in the 1958 Finals, was Bob Pettit.In that series alone, Pettit averaged 29.3 points, 17.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists compared to Russell's 14.5 points and 19.3 rebounds.
'"14.9 rebounds, 10.6 points and 3.8 assists over 119 playoff games with the organization"Wes didn't even play in three of the games against Philadelphia [in the conference finals]," Hayes In that NBA Finals, Hayes averaged 20.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 steals compared to Unseld's 9.0 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.1 blocks.This was one of the great frontcourt combinations in league history. In those four Finals series alone, he went for And of course, he brought the Cavs their only title in franchise history when he beat the 73-9 Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Elgin Baylor, Anthony Davis, Hakeem Olajuwon and Bob Pettit are the There was a real temptation to go with Nikola Jokic here. He led the league in playoff scoring average three times and eclipsed 30 points per game twice.He may not have been a member of the team for long, but it was more than enough for him to establish himself as its greatest postseason performer.Garnett was a pioneer. Thomas is one of those rare examples of an NBA star who consistently found a higher level once the playoffs started.During the championship seasons, his play against MJ's Bulls was especially dynamic.In Game 7 of the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals, he led his team in a 19-point beatdown with 21 points and 11 assists.This is another difficult call.

The decision for the Brooklyn Nets was quite a bit easier.And in the early 2000s, he led the New Jersey Nets to a pair of NBA Finals appearances against the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs.Over the course of his 78 playoff games with the Nets, he averaged 16.8 points, 9.1 assists, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals.Organizational history gets a little funky with the Charlotte Hornets.
