June 15, 201214 yr Lebron is what he is...the best all-around player in the league and the player that anyone would want above all others for the first 42 minutes of a game. He is not a closer. I don't care what kind of stats are presented, I've watched him look like a different guy in late game situations enough for it to be a legit question. I've seen him miss many clutch FT's and I've rarely seen him deliver when he has a last shot to tie or win a game. I think we just need to accept him for what he is and appreciate the talent. I also can't help but wonder how things might have been different for him if he'd ever had the opportunity to play for a good coach.
June 15, 201214 yr Right. He only has the best single game 4th quarter/OT performance in NBA history. On an away court. In the Eastern Conference Finals. He only carried a team of stiffs to the NBA Finals. Only carried that same team of stiffs to the best regular season record two years in a row. Again...if people would look at all of his accomplishments instead of focusing on his failures then we wouldn't be having this discussion. He's performed in the 4th quarter more than people want to believe. When he succeeds we say...'he should be doing that'. When he fails he gets hammered like no other. The stats give some kind of matrix that documents 4 quarter success. You say he plays 42 minutes out of 48 and this website is showing you what he is doing statistically the last 5 minutes of the game. Dismiss all you want. He still performs. Should I say KD isn't clutch for missing the game tying shot tonight?
