[ChipotleWest]

He joins Michael Jordan, Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain.

15-18 Playoff record.

15-18 Playoff record.

That doesn't really impact this, playoff record is also based on team strength.

Jordan had 20 losses when he had played 33 playoff games.

Wilt had 19

Baylor had 16

Don't do this to the poor man. He really thought he had something here.

Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor don’t exactly have reputations as strong playoff performers.

It's good to play in a fast paced league...

Says who? They basically lost to Boston year after year and beat everyone else.

How many 25 year olds have winning records in the playoffs unless they are playing with another top 50 all time player their entire career so far? I'd argue not many. These hate Luka takes get quite pathetic.

Magic got drafted to a team with Kareem and championships right when he got in the league, that doesn't happen unless they have another great player with them from day one.

Why aren't other current players besides Luka on this list then? Do they play in a different league?

Nicely done.

Based on what? Running into the greatest defensive dynasty in the history of the sport?

Who? I was commenting on Wilt, Baylor, and Jordan...but obviously mostly Baylor and Wilt.

Are you not saying Luka benefits from a fast paced league? I was just curious then why other players beside Luka aren't on this list.

Sorry, someone in another thread said Tatum was special because he carried his crappy team to the finals a few years ago. Thought the same theory should be applied here. Not sure how to navigate this place.

Nice try.

Ran twice in healthy Kawhi Clippers and another playoff run ended against the later champion Warriors.

So what was your point?

[bisme37]

Tatum recently joined Bron and Kobe as only players with 3000 playoff points before turning 27. Mentioning it because I believe JT has played 99 playoff games, and with Luka having played 33 and scoring 1000 playoff points they seem to be scoring at pretty much the exact same rate. I did the math you guys.

Edit: I took this info from Statmuse and it was not exactly correct as was pointed out later in the thread. So never mind I guess haha.

Well, LeBron was 42-29 in the playoffs through age 25.

Pace

Wilt's Rookie Year - 126.1
Baylor - 118.9
Jordan 102.1
Luka - 100.0

So I say again, it's good to play in a high paced era.

That was the beauty of the Leastern conference back then. Sleepwalking until the ECF…

Amazing. Congrats!

Ant could be there next playoffs too. He’s on pace now.
