And a stats look to this.
This was Kawahi's 7th season in the NBA.
He got 26.6 points / 7.3 rebounds / 3.3 assists / 2.4 steals per game.
In PO those numbers bumped up to 30.5 / 9.1 / 3.9 / 1.7
Points per game and rebounds per game is carrer high for him, both in season and in playoffs.
He was final's MVP , also All defensive second team.
Interestingly, MJ's 7th season was the one he got his 1st championship. His numbers were:
Season : 31.5 / 6 / 5.5 / 2.7 and also 1 block per game
Playoffs : 31.1 / 6.5 / 8.5 / 2.4 / 1.4
He was NBA's MVP , Finals MVP , Scoring leader and All-Defensive team that year.
NONE of those numbers was a career high.
Just sayin'
