Okay I will admit it LeBron is the best all around player in the NBA but I wouldn't want him with the ball in his hands in the final seconds of the game. I'd rather Kobe, D-Wade or Durant.

Fair enough.

I won't even try to change your mind on that, but will ask, what do you make of the stats in the link?

You said KD is the most clutch "because he is", and said he doesn't disappear like Lebron in big moments. But then you see the numbers, the actual data, and they suggest otherwise. They suggest Lebron does take the shot, and makes the shot more often than guys you'd never think he did.

Just curious, but what do you make of that?

Pretty cool info. Never seen that link before

In-games and ESPN always make it a point to low LeBron's low shooting percentages at the end of games. They fail to mention everyone is just as shitty. It's no wonder everyone thinks LeBron is the most unclutch player to ever play when all they see is what the tv shoves down their throat. Isolation basketball is a bitch.

It's probably because of the fact that while LeBron was in Cleveland there was nobody that could/would take that last shot other than him and KD has Westbrook so he doesn't have to take the last shot all of the time which is probably the reason he has fewer shot attempts than LeBron. I'm not saying he WON'T take the shot because he will but when he does he sucks at it.
