LBJ is still in Finals trolling mood

quote:

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James says the jump shot that clinched the NBA title for the Miami Heat had him thinking about Michael Jordan’s iconic shot that wrapped up a championship for Chicago 15 years earlier.

James tells Sports Illustrated for a story released Wednesday that his shot with 27.9 seconds left in Game 7 of the NBA Finals "was an MJ moment." Then he paused a moment and added, "It was an LJ moment."

"I know it wasn’t the magnitude of MJ hitting that shot in ’98, but I definitely thought about him," James said. "It was an MJ moment."

He watched Game 6 of the 1998 Bulls-Jazz series in his hotel room in San Antonio during this year’s finals, up to the moment where Jordan posed after making the shot that sealed Chicago’s sixth championship.


Trying to hard to be MJ

I wish we could go one fricking day without hearing about LJ or MJ or Lebron James or Michael Jordan.

Ehh, his team had the lead. That's usually when he takes those shots. It was a clincher though. I respect him for saying that.

What a turd.

Yeah, we all remember that time in Game 6...where the Bulls were about to lose the Title...and MJ came down the court and shoots over Russell...and bricks it...but alas! Pippen gets the rebound and throws it back to Jordan - who hasn't moved from the same spot...and shoots again...and hurray! - it goes in!

Clutch! MJ just like LeBron.
