Jordan averaged 33+7+7 in the seventh game in the playoffs. How did James perform on the same stage? And Kobe?

In the series tiebreak between the Thunder and the Nuggets, Alexander once again played at the MVP level. He made 12 of 19 shots, scored 35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and did not make 1 turnover. Under Alexander's leadership, the Thunder successfully defeated the Nuggets and advanced to the Western Conference Finals, which is also their first return to this stage since 2016.

When it comes to tiebreaks, many stars will say that this is the most exciting game in sports history. This kind of game where you win, advance and lose, and you lose, has no fault tolerance. Therefore, this tests the players' strength and mentality on the court. Like Harden, the reason why he is often ridiculed is because he is prone to performing missed performance in such key games. For example, in the first round of the playoffs this year, he played in the first round of the playoffs. He only made 8 shots in 35 minutes and finally scored only 7 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists. Because of his slump, the Clippers finally suffered a crushing defeat.

In contrast, Jordan, who is also a point guard like Harden, is considered a "god of basketball". In Jordan's career, he often becomes stronger the more he goes to the key game. Therefore, he averaged only 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game in the regular season, and he averaged 33.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.1 steals per game in the playoffs. Because of Jordan's existence, the Bulls also won 6 championships in the 1990s. It can be said that they were undoubtedly the most dominant team of that era.

However, no matter how strong the Bulls are, they have been forced into a desperate situation. Therefore, in Jordan's playoff career, he has played three tiebreaks, and his performance has not disappointed the team during this period. He averaged 33.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game.

Jordan's first tiebreak experience was in the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals. They had been eliminated by the Pistons many times before this season, so this time Jordan and the Bulls were already working hard to take revenge. Unfortunately, there was still a gap between the Bulls and the Pistons at that time. In the end, the Bulls lost to their opponents with a score of 74-93, but Jordan's personal performance was already excellent. At that time, he scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in the game. In the 1992 Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Bulls ushered in the second tiebreak in the series against the Knicks, and in this game Jordan also won the first tiebreak victory in his career. Faced with the Knicks' defense, Jordan was like a no-man. He finally scored 42 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in the whole game. With his explosion, the Bulls successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, and later Jordan led the team to defend the title.

Jordan's last tiebreak was in the playoffs when he won the championship, which was in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. At this time, Jordan, who was already 34 years old, obviously declined compared to his first three-game winning streak. This time, he was limited to only 38% of the shooting percentage by the Pacers. However, in this case, Jordan still scored the highest 28 points in the game. He also tried his best to play in other aspects while feeling poor. Therefore, he contributed 9 rebounds and 8 assists after the final. In the end, the Bulls not only successfully advanced to the finals, but later they also defeated the Jazz and reached a three-game winning streak again.

In addition to Jordan, there is also James, who is also one of the most skilled in tiebreaking in NBA history. In James' playoff career, he played in a total of 8 tiebreaks, during which he averaged 34.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game. This performance is undoubtedly one of the best in history, and he also won 6 times in these 8 tiebreaks.

Recalling James's previous tiebreak performance, the first time was in the second round against the Pistons in 2006. In that game, the opponent did not allow him to lead his teammates at all, so he only had 2 assists in the game. Although this is not the game method that James is good at, he still scored 27 points and 8 rebounds in the end. In the second round against the Celtics in 2008, James led the Cavaliers to fight against his opponent for seven games. In the last game, he even scored 45 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, but unfortunately he still failed to win in this game.

However, since then, James has never lost in the tiebreak. In the 2012 Eastern Conference Final, he led the team to eliminate them for the second consecutive year. This time, he also scored 31 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. In the 2013 Eastern Conference Final tiebreak against the Pacers, James scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The Heat successfully reached the finals. In the end, facing the Spurs, both sides hit the tiebreak again, and James' performance was not disappointing. He made 5 three-pointers in the last game and scored 37 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. With his own jump shot, he helped the Heat win two consecutive championships.

After returning to the Cavaliers in 2014, with the help of James, the team became the champion. In the 2016 Finals, the Cavaliers successfully dragged the series into the tiebreak. James, who scored 82 points in G5 and G6, scored another large triple-double with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in the tiebreak. At the same time, he also scored 2 steals and 3 blocks on the defensive end. With his outburst, the Cavaliers became the first team in NBA history to fall behind 1-3 and be able to reverse the finals.

In the 2018 playoffs, the Cavaliers reached a tiebreak in the first round and the Eastern Conference Finals respectively. They faced the Pacers in the first round. In the last game, James broke out again, scoring 45 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the 34-year-old James played the game and scored 35 points, 15 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 blocks, so he also reached the Finals for the eighth season in a row..

The last player we introduced is Kobe. As a super giant whose personal influence is even as famous as Qiao Zhan, he has played many tiebreakers in his career. However, in this regard, Kobe's performance is much worse than Jordan and James. He averaged only 22.2 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game in his career.

Kobe's first tiebreaker was in the 2000 Western Conference Finals. Facing the Trail Blazers, he scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks in his last game. With his help, the team successfully reached the finals and finally won the championship. In 2002, it was in the Western Conference Final again. This time against the Kings, Kobe scored 30 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. This time, he also used his outstanding performance to lead the team to the finals and completed three consecutive championships later.

However, since then, Kobe's personal performance in tiebreak has declined. In the first round of 2006, against the Suns, the Lakers were finally reversed with 3-1 lead. Kobe scored 24 points in tiebreak, but the team was still beaten by his opponents by 31 points. In the second round of 2009, he only made 4 of 12 shots and scored only 14 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Fortunately, with a better team, the Lakers still made it to the Western Conference Finals. In the 2010 Finals against the Celtics, Kobe, who was tied for seven, felt bad. He made only 6 of 24 shots in the game, but he still scored 23 points and contributed 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. In this defensive battle, Kobe finally helped the Lakers laugh to the end.

In the first round of 2012, the Lakers and their opponents played in a row. In the last game, Kobe scored 17 points in 16 shots. Fortunately, he also sent 8 assists. In addition, Gasol exploded in this game, scoring 23 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. The Lakers barely advanced.
