3:29pm, 20 May 2025Basketball

When the Nuggets and the Thunder are about to stage a peak tiebreak battle in the Western Conference, the US media "hoopshype" announced the NBA's historical tiebreak battle score rankings at the right time. This list not only records those superstars who shine in the battle of life and death, but also reflects the legendary stories of the NBA for more than 70 years. Let's take a look at which stars are best able to stand up at critical moments of "win or go home".

Active two: Curry's tiebreaker with Tatum, Stephen Curry ranked tenth with 185 points, and his average of 30.8 points per game was amazing. This epoch-making shooter maintained a 42.1% three-point shooting percentage in the tiebreak battle, perfectly explaining what "Key Mr." is. Interestingly, Curry's tiebreak winning rate is as high as 66.7%, proving that he is not only a data brush, but also a guarantee of victory.

The new generation representative Jason Tatum ranked seventh with 187 points. The Celtics star averaged 26.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game in the tiebreak, and his three-point shooting percentage reached an astonishing 47.9%. Although it is often criticized for being invisible at critical moments, the data will not lie - Tatum is writing his own tiebreak legend.

Ancient Beasts: The ultimate showdown between Russell and Chamberlain

Bill Russell uses a perfect record of 10 wins and 0 losses to tell the world what "Lord of the Rings" is. The terrifying data of 18.6 points and 29.3 rebounds per game perfectly interprets the true meaning of winning the championship with defense. In sharp contrast, Wilt Chamberlain, who averaged 24.4 points and 27 rebounds per game, had a more explosive score, but the winning rate of 44.4% reveals the essential difference between the two: one was born for victory and the other fought for data.

Legendary Shooter: Bird and West's key genes

"Big Bird " Larry Bird ranked sixth with 216 points, and a 75% winning rate proves the legendary shooter's killer nature. He once said boldly on the eve of the seventh squad, "Are you here to compete for the second place?" and then proved with his actions that he was not boasting. "LOGO Man" Jerry West ranked second with 278 points, with averaging 30.9 points showing the big heart of this Lakers legend.

Contemporary GOAT: James' tiebreak dominance

LeBron James leads the lead with 279 points, averaging 34.9 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. The experience of winning the six tiebreaks confirmed the extraordinary dominance of "Season James". Interestingly, James' average score per game in the tiebreak game is even higher than his regular season average score. This "strong will be strong" trait may be the secret of his ability to stand at the top of the league for a long time.

This list not only records classic moments in NBA history, but also reflects the unique charm of basketball. On the stage where the tiebreak battle is the most challenging for the quality of the stars, real superstars will always shine with the most dazzling light. With the rise of a new generation of stars, this list may usher in new challenges in the future, but those legendary stories will always be engraved in the NBA's historical scroll.
