As for the jordan comparisons, lebron averaged 38,9, and 9 in a 6 game series against orlando - the best defensive team in the league. Not exactly a slouch

You're putting words into my mouth. I didn't say he was a slouch.
You are comparing him to a guy who averaged 33 points per game in the playoffs, and a guy who hit 50% of his game winning shots. You are comparing him to a guy who three-peated TWICE. You are comparing him to the greatest player to play any professional sport, ever.
So no, pulling a few games here and there isn't good enough when you're making this comparison. LeBron has played in the past 2 seasons, unbelievably lackluster playoff competition and up until the Pacers series, it's largely been dominating performances followed by strong enough late game performances with some unbelievable flashes sprinkled in. You can feel free to look at late game logs of close games and see how many turnovers, missed shots, passes, and missed free throws he committed. Again, these are not saying he's a slouch, but let me repeat for the billionth time. You are comparing him to Michael Jordan.
