LeBron is checkmating the entire NBA.

I'm very proud of him.

lol, 2-3 in the last 2 minutes of a single possession playoff game. CHOKED. imagine if literally anyone else was held to the ridiculous standard he is.

and created 2 wide open looks for frye and love that woulda sealed it.

not that i'm particularly interested in the narratives around Lebron choking etc... but i'm not sure where you got he's 2-3 in the last 2 minutes?

I'm couting 5 misses and 2 makes (with a bunch of Oreb) so technically 2-7

Also I remember seeing some pretty telling graphics about his shooting % for go-ahead or tying shots in the last 5 years and it was pretty bad, think it was on seth's twitter

just when i was thinking about the frye > love bandwagon, hocks have to let Love jizz all over them. hot hot fire last night.

lol hawks

Also, horford was absolutely bitch-made this whole series. Here's a guy who wants to claim he is an ALL STAR CENTER and averages 3.5 rebounds per game against the cavs. Could you possibly be more of a bitch?

Love averaged 13. LeBron averaged 8.5. Thompson averaged 11. Milsapp averaged 10. And the tallest starter on either team and only actual C who played real minutes averaged 3.5.

hm, was just referring to from the goaltend on- when it was just that play, made jumper, missed 3. guess i got the time wrong. those misses came from one possession when it was putbacks/tips that didn't go in, didn't realize that was so late in the game.

feel free to post w/e graphic, doesn't dispute my point though, no player in NBA history has been held to close to the standard he is. imagine if the Cavs were cruising through the playoffs with him sidelined due to injury, imagine if he ever wins a title where he's not finals MVP- hell people wanna asterisk 2013 bc someone else made a clutch shot- imagine if he played the 4th quarter Kawhi just did. Hell does anyone even know Kawhi had a 0 pt 4th in game 4?

Yea I mean of course I don't disagree with this, that's usually what happens to supermegaultrastars, especially the ones with lots of haters, that's partly on him with his poor attitude.

But I don't think there's much evidence out there that Lebron is clutch and I wish I could find that graph again (fwiw the graph was showing the GOAT clutch player is Dirk) that recorded every shot in the nba in clutch situations over a sample of 10 season but I did find this :

Mind blowing: Kevin Love has never lost an NBA playoff game.

And if you go back to college, UCLA won the PAC12 tournament his only year there, and they made the final four where they lost to Memphis... who vacated all their wins from that season. So even in college, he never had a 'legit' playoff loss.

The goal is to win the game not to make the final shot.

Lebron's stats and +/- in the final 5 minutes and 2 minutes of close games are probably the best of all time. Agreed that he has been worse than average on buzzer beater shots, though not as poor as you may think as the % in those situations are very low.

LeBron 5-10 on go ahead shots in the final 5 seconds of the 4th/OT in the playoffs up to 2015

that seems to be at odds with many other stats that show him being total downtown atlanta hiv in those spots...melo was the worst iirc

Did they make it up?

Heh I remember when melo had the best rate

the conclusion, as always, lol sample sizes, lol clutchness

QFLOL

No heart clips fan is all I see

Oh yeah that reminds me it's time to cash in on this class action Hawks guarantee payout.
