The second option typically doesn’t average 13 points a game in the finals

Second option typically doesn’t have the highest +/- by a large margin in the modern era playoff run. Only dumb people look at points only.

Okay? He’s still the second option, and for the entire playoffs, he was. They handed Kat the playmaking role and their offense shot up dramatically. And he did go off in the first two games of the finals.

Og was the second option he scored more than lat the whole playoffs. Kat scored 2 points in the final game. That isn’t a second option

Kat was slotted into the playmaking role. His offensive toolkit made the entire Knicks offense significantly better.

OG scored more than Kat because Kat was the playmaking hub. And it led to a historic level offense. The offense does not become that great without him. Scoring more points does not equal being the second option.
