Does Jabbar have more playoff game-winning or tying assists than LeBron?
I know that Lebron has none in 13 playoff years (missed it first 2 seasons), thats 232 games.
Considering that many games and a lot of them were close, that would be remarkable considering LeBron is regarded as an unselfish player, good decision maker and an all-time great passer.

Wouldn't you agree?

Tied 2:2 in the current series.
You know I'm gonna take a knock at him.
I'll say he "passes" Jabbar once he makes a game-deciding pass - for once.

He can't make the shots and the passes.  I mean Korver missed a wide open 3 in game 3 last year off of a James pass.  He makes that maybe they have a series with GS in the finals.

True, it takes two to make an assist.
The instance you mentioned was 54 secs before the end of regulation, Cleveland lead ATM (113:111), so it doesn't qualify in the "playoff game-winning or tying assists" category.

I find those distinctions odd. If Korver hits that shot the Cavs win that game.  Lebron has had plenty of passes that would qualify but his teammates didn't hit the shot.  You can't make the pass and take the shot.

Now granted if Kareem had played in more series and more 1st round games earlier in his career while still in his prime, he probably would still have the record (though Lebron would have obviously eventually caught him).

Lebron is going to end up with just about all awards tied to longevity. Some people may catch him 17 years down the road just because the games are faster paced and so many more 3's (if the league stays in this direction).

Example Donovan Mitchel had basically as many points as Lebron did his rookie year. Ben Simmons had nearly 200 more rebounds and 200 more assists than Lebron did his rookie year.

Jabbar does. It actually is not close. He has 6. I am sure he would rather have those than playoff field goals or whatever.

Celts have to beat the Cavs and win this series

LeBron is having one of the all-time great playoff runs right now and it almost feels routine. 6 40+ point games, 3 triple-doubles, averaging 30/8/8 with a steal and a block on 55% shooting. It's absolutely nuts, especially at his age.  I sure hope we end it soon though.
