LeBron, Wade and Dirk in the post-season

[Nitro]

Saw this on RealGM and thought it was very interesting...specifically the Wade and Dirk stats. These links are about their career performances, and also include interesting stats on other great past and presents players (Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, KG, etc...)....

 

Excerpt:

Of particular interest are the three players still playing the 2011 playffs: Wade, James and Nowitzki. Their teams win significantly more when they shoot well, so much so that LeBron’s teams and Wade’s teams have win% approaching Michael Jordan‘s Bulls teams when MJ shot well.

 

Think about that for a second.

 

When Dwyane Wade shoots well, Miami has won at the rate of a 70-win team. When he doesn’t hit the 60% mark, a 34-win team. And he’s hit the mark in nearly half his playoff games, more than anyone on the list outside of Dirk Nowitzki. This further echoes the idea that Wade has been something special in the postseason.

Excerpt:

Fittingly, Bryant and James show improvement the easier the defensive foe. Wade, however, has some surprising results. His performance versus elite D and non-elite D isn’t too different. (Note, those six games against “solid” defenses are from the 2006 Finals against Dallas.) He quite clearly outperforms the other two against elite defensive teams, even ramping up his three-point % and assists.
