I’m sorry but Lebron has been missing free throws left and right. Even Lebron apologists will admit that.

The 4th quarter FT misses are big and hard to get past, I wouldn’t call him the Biggest Choke Artist of the Decade because, for all the failures he incurred, he achieved as much if not more successes just he came up short in some HUGE moments in HIGH-STAKES games and that naturally sticks with people. Luckily for LeBron he won 3 rings and other greats won less so calling him the Biggest of the decade is a stretch.

Game-tying/go-ahead field goals with under 10 seconds left in the postseason:

Michael Jordan: 7/15 (47%)
Kobe Bryant: 5/22 (23%)
LeBron James: 12/23 (52%)

Anyone who thinks LeBron is a choke artist doesn't pay attention to what actually happens. Talking about his 4th quarter FT% and ignoring he's a better clutch shooter than MJ in the playoffs...LeBron is human and has shortcomings, but he should be nowhere near a greatest choker list.

YES! Since 2010, Lebron has missed over 122 free throws in the 4th Quarter.


That means nothing without knowing how many he attempted.

A ten second google search showed that his his career FT percentage is 74.5% while his “clutch” FT percentage (last five minutes while game is within 10 points) is 76.7%.

His “game on the line” percentage is 71.4%.

Your narrative is lazy.

LeBron is a dominant playoff player except the weird year in 2011.

The correct answer to this question is either Clayton Kershaw or Corey Kluber. Kluber's last 3 playoff starts were awfully rough and Kershaw's playoff struggles are very well documented.

Lebron orchestrated the biggest series comeback in sports history and here we are.

It's impossible to leave Kaepernick out of the the discussion for the award.

He went from Superbowl starter, to backup to BLACKballed out of the NFL for The Rest Of His Miserable Life.

Kaepernick fell off the map when Harbaugh left for Michigan. Harbaugh and Roman built an offense perfectly suited for him.

He was last seen losing a job to Blaine Gabbert when, on paper, he was an absolutely perfect fit to run Chip Kelly's offense.

My favorite argument was the LeBron fanboys being adamant that “clutch” doesn’t exist.

I'd have to see the percentages. He's also probably played more 4th quarters that any NBA player in the decade. Considering how many times he's made it to the Finals. Plus some of it's fatigue from playing so many minutes each game throughout the season.

LeBron is not only the biggest choke artist of the decade, he’s also the biggest liar. LOL remember that lie he made up about “some people” spray painting “offensive” words at his house?

Hope LeBron blows his knee out in his next game.

This is why I'm not a huge LeBron fan in real life, but I like him better on this board.

Stats show LeBron is as good in the clutch. People here respond he's a choke artist bc he might have spray painted his garage and they hope he injures himself.

LeBron derangement.

Still 3-6 in the Finals though, 3 of those losses his teams were as good if not better than the opponent and another his team blew a 2-1 series lead with 2 games in the King’s Palace

Wait... Wouldn't this mean you're arguing 1 of his losses to the Warriors his team was as good as the Warriors?
