What's LeBron's legacy if Ray Allen doesn't bail him out with the 3-pointer?

LeBron did make the 3-pointer with about 20 seconds to cut it to a two-point game, but without Allen's 3-pointer, LBJ watches the Spurs celebrate another title after misses a game-tying 3.

If the Heat go on to win Game 7, which they probably will, how much did Allen help erase another possible late-game disappoint from LeBron?

Means he will never be in the conversation with the GOAT because of 3 Finals defeats.

We can play this game with a lot of star athletes, yes including Eli Manning, Peyton, Tom Brady, MJ, KOBE, etc. It takes a TEAM to win.

He could go 6-24 tomorrow and win finals mvp. Fact.

But really, we wont know his legacy until his career is over. He could win 10 more rings or he could never play in another finals.

I'm not sure what response you are looking for besides the usual LeBron sucks

Allen not only saved the series and the season, he might have saved the heat franchise

Or Jordan's if Paxson and Kerr dont hit game winners in two seperate playoff series? Or Kobe if Horry doesnt hit game winners? Or Tom Brady if Vinatieri doesnt make two game winners? Or Joe Montana if his tight end drops the ball? Or Skip Bertman if Morris and Cresse arent clutch? Or Vince Young if the defense doesnt stop USC on 4th down?

LeBrick

or...

LeTurnovers

As he had multiple of both in the final minutes.

That was the least clutch final minute I've seen from a Superstar in a must win game until he got his do-over 3-point attempt b/c the Spurs can't rebound.

If the Spurs rebound his brick...they win and LeBron is the heel and can't get it done guy.

Lets be clear LeBron choked down the stretch.

His stats were amazing and his heart is not in question

Ray Allen saved the day but its still a team game. I think his legacy would have been tarnished by losing 2 NBA Finals.

every great team has a role player step up and make a big play. LeBron made both good plays and passive plays at the end of the game, but game winners aren't only hit by Top 50 players. Look at Kerr,Paxson,Horry,etc.

Also, you're talking about Ray Allen- a HOFer with or without his extended career as a role player, who did more than just hit a winning bucket, guy was near the ball almost all the time at the end.

Would that change the narrative on LeBron? maybe a little, but he had a triple double in an elimination game. He's a top 10 player regardless of last night's outcome (or game 7 for that matter).

What is Jordan's legacy if Steve Kerr doesn't hit 8,000 3 pointers? What about Kobe if Shaq is not there? This is the stupiest topic and point I have ever seen.
