and would rather defer to the player with more of a killer mentality.

See this is where I differ. I think this is just stupid. LeBron is about making the right play. If the right play is passing to the open teammate that's what he's going to do at the end of the game. Plenty of all-time greats have done the same. LeBron has taken and made plenty of game winning shots throughout his career. He's also passed plenty of game winning shots. Making the correct basketball play isn't deferring. If it is, then Jordan deferred in some of the biggest moments of his career.
