In the NBA playoffs, for stars, the difficulty of 30 points may not be much higher than that of the regular season, but if it is 40+ points, the difficulty can be seen! After all, this event has an all-round improvement in defense, and if the player's playing style is as paranoid as Kobe, the center of gravity of defense will naturally shift unreservedly, which also makes the Black Mamba have a relatively low proportion of 40+ points in the playoffs in his career, and his 20 years of purple and gold years have participated in 220 games in the playoffs, of which 13 have 40+ points, accounting for only 5.9%! Of course, there are many opportunities to consider as a substitute at the beginning of his career, and how tightly the opponent defends him. Below, we'll also compare the percentage of players scoring 40+ points in the playoffs, which seems to be more valuable than simply comparing games.
Harden 4.8%
The beard has never missed a season in the playoffs in his NBA career, which is a remarkable achievement. In the case of 166 playoff games, it has scored 11 times in 40+ games, so the proportion is currently 4.8%! In this, it can also be seen that Harden's high-scoring explosiveness is really good.
Curry 5.4%
So far in his career, the number of playoff games that Moe God has participated in is currently 147, and he has completed 8 games with 40 points, so the proportion is 5.4%! In terms of individual scoring, Curry seems to be a better presence in the playoffs than in the regular season, and the defense needs to be considered here, after all, not every player can "enjoy" the treatment of having at least two players come to the opponent as soon as the half is over.
Durant 8.2%
So far in his career, Durant has 170 playoff games, and the 40+ games are currently 14 games, which is not bad, after all, 40 points compared to 30 points in the playoffs is really not something you want to complete, you also need to consider the changes in defense and whether the more points you score, the higher the help to the team, etc.?
Jordan 21.2 %
The god of basketball is really good, 179 playoff games have 38 games with 40 points, which is the first level in history! And we all know that in terms of points per game, Jordan is currently the No. 1 scorer in the playoffs, which is why he is called the Goat, not only scoring steadily, but also scoring explosiveness!
James 10.1%
James played 287 playoff games in his 21-year career, including 29 in terms of 40 points! This shows that James is currently 10.1% in the playoffs in terms of scoring such a high score, which is higher than Durant and Kobe, but it should be noted that the defensive level faced is not very different, but if you only consider the data, it seems that it is second only to Jordan in this aspect!
