95% of the NBA would have scored there. That was a defensive breakdown, not a clutch play.

Lulz. Lebron broke down one of the best defenders in the NBA and left him in the dust. Easy shot, clutch move.

Paul George's free throws = clutch...not LBJ's layup

Look, it was a smart play and I'm surprised he drove and didn't settle for a jump shot. So props to LBJ for that...but clutch? meh

If making the play wasn't clutch then you can't possibly say he choked if he didn't make the play.

As long as you're consistent, great. But had he missed, you can't be saying it was a choke.

missing a basic layup isn't choking? That's the definition of choking. However, I wouldn't say he choked if he missed a contested jumper in that spot...I would have said "what an idiot." Because LBJ should drive way more than he does.

The easiest part of the game is free throws. This is just making it so funny to watch the hatred for LJ. Everyone's tears are tasting so sweet. George hill should be inducted into the hall of fame after those free throws or at least into the top 50 players Of all time.

Look man, i'm not a fan of LeBron my any means, but I don't dislike the guy though.

With that being said, it was a lay-up on a defensive break down, props to him for recognizing it and attacking, but lets not go nuts here!

You must be a bad arse basketball player I guess...in that spot, that is one of the more difficult shots in basketball.

Had LBJ been fouled and forced to make 2 free throws to win, I would have said that was clutch.

Did he blow past him on the over play, Yes. Did he "break him down?" No!

if you look at the numbers, basically anyway you try to, I think you'll findlLebron was better in the clutch in Cleveland compared to Miami.


Um



Nothing clutch about him in Cleveland during the playoffs.

So missing a layup is a choke.

Shooting a long jumper makes you call him an idiot.

But driving to the rim, what you want him to do, makes it not clutch?



Are you really not seeing the flawed logic here?

Ok, you can choose to not believe the facts that are out there, that is fine. You can pretend the 3 against the Magic at the buzzer, the 2 free throws with .1 seconds left to tie, and the 1 or 2 other big shots in the final seconds of games in that series weren't clutch, no biggie.

For 2.9 seasons, ALL we heard and saw was how Lebron was like 1 of 15 or something ridiculous in the last 10 or 24 seconds of games, but you can choose to believe otherwise, that is your right.

Absolute clutch move. Smoked George and Hill was to scared to get in the way.

Would have been much better had he tomahawked it in Hills face


LBJ just facked around and got another triple double


LBJ greatest all time and even Pippen said that LeBron would smoke Jordan

Haters gonna hate
