Great if we need a clutch shot we should ignore Kobe

Agree. Lebron has always compared far more favorably to Magic than MJ or Kobe as far as style of play. Unfortunately for Lebron (and everyone else) when it comes to GOAT status, MJ is there at the top of the list and it doesn't look like he's getting removed any time soon.

As far as the point someone made about him "looking to defer." I think that, as a facilitator, he looks to make the right play at the right time. Sure Magic was willing to take the high pressure shot. But you also never saw anyone criticize him for giving up the ball to Kareem or James Worthy in a pressure situation.

I think there was a time in Lebron's career when him shying away from taking the high pressure shot was a legit criticism. However, I think that, at least since his 2nd season in Miami, he has shown that he is not only willing to take those shots, but does a good job of hitting them too.

Hater.

Another fucking idiot with this photoshopped picture. :L

We've seen this before, junior, keep up.
LeBron May Be The Most Clutch Playoff Shooter Of His Generation

Unfortunately, Jordan’s playoff career predates BBR’s shot-by-shot database by three seasons, but the site does have a record of every such shot attempted since the 2001 playoffs. And in those go-ahead situations (after accounting for the leverage of the game in which each shot occurred), nobody has a better record relative to expectationspoints generated per shot above what would be expected from the distance of the shot.">2 than James — particularly not his longtime nemesis Kobe Bryant, who sits at the opposite end of the list.

Which the article clearly included Bryant in, you silly little fanboy. Or was that photoshopped too?

Yeah, they started their careers 7 years apart but clearly they're in the same generation, you sad little nut-hugger

Take it up with the author, fruitcake, I didn't write it. And, for the record, the stats they were citing included 75% of Bryant's playoff career. The rankings were so drastically different that it's unlikely Bryant could have caught up even if he'd been perfect on those shots in the remaining 25% of his playoff career.

Based on those metrics, if you've got a choice between Bryant and James on what the author defined as "clutch shots," smart people would clearly choose James.

For the record, I'm not even a basketball fan, much less a Lebron James fan. I just enjoy watching fanboys like you piss down their legs.

If LeFraud wasn't such a pussy, he would have played football.
