Classic LeBron

[IGotACoolStory]

Anyone scorer in the world would hold for the shot and shoot a 3. Allstar game and all. LeBron passes and it wasn't even a good pass.

In the DNA.

[Dwyane Rose]

:facepalm

smh LeBron.

When there's 6 seconds left and your being guarded by Kobe, you take the shot.

[stallionaire]

Right right... Let's criticize LeBron for passign to DERON WILLIAMS who essentially air balled it. No one played defense all night. the game was garbage. Stop pretending just because the teams started trying a little in the last minute that this game matters. 300 points were scored tonight :palm:

[Indian guy]

LeBron's really had a knack for blowing good games the last 2 seasons.

[Living Being]

OMG.....LeChoke with the LePass and the LeInbound....both for the LeFail!

[bartman2]

:facepalm

smh LeBron.

When there's 6 seconds left and your being guarded by Kobe, you take the shot.
He's such a ****ing *****! I love Lebron as a player but when it matters this guy is a STRAIGHT *****! It honestly pisses me off, he's gonna be a loser for life and I hate to say it

[guy]

Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith are going to destroy him tomorrow :oldlol:

How are you 6/8 in threes and not take that shot ?

[inclinerator]

lebron phagggggggggg

[MTing]

Right right... Let's criticize LeBron for passign to DERON WILLIAMS who essentially air balled it. No one played defense all night. the game was garbage. Stop pretending just because the teams started trying a little in the last minute that this game matters. 300 points were scored tonight :palm:
But he had another shot at it and passed it up.
Should have taken it, he was hot from 3 all night.

[CardiacKemba]

Can't believe he wouldn't take the shot. He was unconscious from deep. Stage was set up for him to silence Skip and co (at least for a day or so).

However in saying that, this is an ALL STAR game. In the end it means nothing. Williams and Wade won't get any stick for missing. LeBron gets the ball from miles out, 2/3 defenders in front of him, and sees an open team mate. If it gets to team mate and they sink it LeBron is applauded.

Also, did anyone see who Kobe was having words with on the East bench? Was it Pierce? No love lost :lol

[IGotACoolStory]

I wasn't talking about the set play to Deron. That is a play and it was a good look.

I'm talking about after Melo (?) saved the miss to Deron who threw it to LeBron with about 6 seconds left.

Even Kobe said after the play to shoot the damn ball. You could hear it over the TV.

And tell me you weren't expecting the guy who got that saved pass to shoot a 3. It's basketball mentatility.

[HighFlyer23]

he passed it up THREE TIMES

LOL is he even a man??

[SwooshReturns]

LeBron's really had a knack for blowing good games the last 2 seasons.
Who are you kidding dude? He used to pass the ball off to much less capable players deflecting possible blame and criticism cause he was shook under the guise of the "right basketball play" when he was in Cleveland, too.

:oldlol:

[NattyPButter]

It was a freaking All Star game who cares.

You're right, dude was afraid to take that shot in a game that didn't matter. Which probably means he'd be infinitely more scared to to take that shot in a game that actually does matter. Would anyone be surprised if he tried to throw a cross court pass to Wade with 4 seconds left down 2 seconds in the FINALS?

[DropStep]

Lebron has all the talent in the world but for some reason whenever all eyes are on him... he just crumbles.

[Doranku]

:roll: Even Kobe was yelling at him for not taking the last shot and then inbounding on the final possession.

[L.Kizzle]

It was a freaking All Star game who cares.
That's the whole point.

[Pushxx]

Kobe making fun of LeBron for Linbounding the ball was pretty funny.

[D12"Magic"]

Pointless game, big deal, He lead the East to a comeback any-way's.

[ThunderKat]

Queen Lechoke. This guy is as arrogant as they come, so it's fun to watch him fail. I hope this continues and Durant and the Thunder crush him in the finals. :banana:

[Extempo]

All-star games or Finals games, one thing you can always count on is Lebron choking. Just stop including his name with all time greats, please.

[Eric Cartman]

It's an exhibition game i don't think he cares that much. But yeah that last sequence wasn't the prettiest.

[SpecialQue]

It was a freaking All Star game who cares.

Pretty sure both Lebron AND Kobe care about these games...probably the only two players that do.

[Heavincent]

I was in shock when I saw him pass it across the court to nobody in particular. I don't why, because I've seen him choke so many times throughout the years. But the stage was set. 5 seconds, down three, and the opportunity to tie the game with one of the greatest players ever guarding you.

[pegasus]

:roll: Even Kobe was yelling at him for not taking the last shot and then inbounding on the final possession.
It was cruel but also so funny:lol Maybe Lebron needed to hear that from a winner like Kobe, maybe he will take those shots from now on...

Yeah, right!:roll:

[PickernRoller]

This thread was bound to come. I guess when you see these kinds of threads for Kobe from LBJ fans you come accustomed to expect the same treatment.

[pauk]

Nice try..... Lebron was easily the best player of this game... that comeback assault he did was just beautiful, in Kobes face over and over and he also did set people up... the only reason Durant got the all-star mvp is because West won the game...

[liquidrage]

Lebron deserves the hate. He's an asshat.

He was so depressed because he lost an all-star game. Well, clown, you had the ball in your hands and passed up the shot to tie/win the game. TWICE.

You're the alpha. You take that shot.

But Lebron's closer mentality it weak. He's the best in the world by far when it doesn't matter. When it does he doesn't have that alpha personality.

[guy]

Kobe making fun of LeBron for Linbounding the ball was pretty funny.

LOL what? I did not catch that. Gif or video?

[SpaceJammeR]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.

[guy]

It's an exhibition game i don't think he cares that much. But yeah that last sequence wasn't the prettiest.

Did you see his interview after the game? He clearly cared.

[Batz]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.
Yeah but this is worse.

[SpecialQue]

Nice try..... Lebron was easily the best player of this game... that comeback assault he did was just beautiful, in Kobes face over and over and setting people up... the only reason Durant got the all-star mvp is because West won the game...

It's a theme with your boy. Does amazing plays, embarrasses other players, puts up great stats, and REFUSES to win the game for his team.

[LBJMVP]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.


no one would have. he was on fire the whole 4th quarter and when it comes to shoot the one shot the matters he throws it away.

[Indian guy]

Who are you kidding dude? He used to pass the ball off to much less capable players deflecting possible blame and criticism cause he was shook under the guise of the "right basketball play" when he was in Cleveland, too.

:oldlol:

The numbers don't back this up at all. LeBron's 2nd only to Kobe in every stat that charts FGA in end game situations - last shots, last 2 minutes of 1 possession games, last 5 minutes with neither team up/down by more than 5. Only Kobe's taken more FGA.

[kaino25]

Man I really hope lebron shows up big in the playoffs cuz I'm getting real tired of seeing him not take the shot and then get blame by the media for not taking the shot. Please God strike Lebron with the lighting You used in like mike lol

[guy]

Nice try..... Lebron was easily the best player of this game... that comeback assault he did was just beautiful, in Kobes face over and over and he also did set people up... the only reason Durant got the all-star mvp is because West won the game...

Let me guess, Lebron's team didn't win cause he didn't have enough help:oldlol:

[pegasus]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.
How about he takes it AND makes it once in a while? Is that too much to ask of the so-called best player in the game?

[SpecialQue]

Let me guess, Lebron didn't win cause he didn't have enough help:oldlol:

:applause:

[PickernRoller]

Pauk, there is no saving Lebron after that last two sequences. Shooting over people is done all the time. I was rooting for LBJ but again was let down. There's much greatness being clutch at the end as is being a beast all game. The pass was a mental lapse. Anyone that calls it otherwise or tries to downplay its validly is blind.

[Indian guy]

I honestly don't think anyone outside of the most extreme LeBron haters would've gotten on his case had he taken the last shot and missed. Shying away from THE moment is a lot worse than facing it like a man but coming up a little short.

[Alamo]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.

If he would have taken the shot and made it, he would have been MVP, King even. But nope, same old Lebron.

Good job to Kevin Durant though, he was ballin.

[Heavincent]

Let me guess, Lebron didn't win cause he didn't have enough help:oldlol:

His team sucked. The only good players on his team were Wade, Deron Williams, Dwight, Rose, Bosh, Carmelo, Deng, Hibbert, Iggy, Pierce, and Rondo.

[SYM86]

Pointless game, big deal, He lead the East to a comeback any-way's.

if sooo pointless what's the point having a comeback? why don't they just have a mini slam dunk contest like the rookies :confusedshrug:

you know lebron choked again!

[guy]

So if he takes that shot and misses, you guys would be praising him? No you guys would call him a choker. No matter what he does he will be hated on smh.

Not nearly as bad as this especially since the only sensible thing to do with only that much time left was to shoot it and it was only an exhibition game.

And another thing, thats the line of thinking thats exactly Lebron's problem. He's scared to take the shot due to what people will say in case he misses it. Just like if he shot too much in the Finals last year and didn't defer to Wade, he would get blamed more if they lost. In the end, he actually ends up doing something worse.

[All Net]

All this on an all-star game wow..

yeah he should of shot it but who cares...not like it meant anything.

That's what losers say. Even Lebron admitted in post game interview he felt that he let his teammates down. :facepalm

Lebron wipes his butt with 50K....and the kobe thing?? WHO CARES :hammerhead:

[iDefend5]

lebron fans mad.

[RaininTwos]

He ran the play to perfection....then got a turnover in the chaos after the offensive rebound. stop over analyzing shit.

[PickernRoller]

Maybe if it was the finals but an all-star game? why care?

If you didn't care you wouldn't be posting trying to make the story right. All in all the Lechoke bandwagon is in full steam and I hardly believe anyone will stop it.

[sfballa13]

Bron is a complete idiot

How can a grown man be this stupid?

He knows the whole world, reporters, ESPN, fans, internet has called him out for disappearing in the 4th, for deferring, for not taking the last shot.

He plays brilliantly bringing his team back and CHOOSES THREE TIMES not to shoot??????

SHOOT IT MAN, even if you miss it you still tried to win the game for your team.

What a moron...seriously no one EVER EVER EVER EVER should compare MJ to Bron, MJ would have taken that shot 1000 out of 1000.

Lebron will always be the second fiddle, never the true go to man.

[All Net]

If you didn't care you wouldn't be posting trying to make the story right.

I'm posting on a forum trying to understand why it would matter for Lebron to hit a game winner in an all-star game....he should of shot it but is hardly going to matter going forward...

Agreed

He has a chance to be the GOAT ..... number 2 man that is :lol

[dannysc305]

He caught the ball from way out, Kobe in his grill, along with some other dude backing him up, Wade was WIDE OPEN on that baseline and LeBron made a good decision. Blake makes a great defensive play and jumps in front of the pass. It is what it is.

[Heavincent]

All this on an all-star game wow..

yeah he should of shot it but who cares...not like it meant anything.

You're just further proving the point.

Lebron can't even handle the pressure of an exhibition game, so what do you think will happen in a close playoff game?

[All Net]

You really think this was all about not handling the pressure in an all-star game? really? c'mon now.

Ask Celtic and Bulls fans that same question from last year...sadly people view Lebron purely on the finals now.

[sfballa13]

People saying that the All Star game doesnt matter and 50k doesnt matter

What about Lebron's dignity?

What about his competitiveness?

Lebron isnt a man who wants to go out there and prove the haters wrong for once?

No you are right he is a big pussee who is comfortable playing the role oef the choker, crunch time disappearing act

Its moments like tonight that separate good players from the ALL TIME LEGENDS.

MJ, Bird, Hakeem they all take that shot.

If they pass and their teammates brick that bad they make it their mission to take the next not turn it over on trying to pass it again

[bwink23]

Kobe is 7 for 25 in "close playoff game" shots at the end of games....:facepalm

I suppose he gets a pass for that with his "5 rings" - :hammerhead:

As if 7 for 25 had something to do with those 5 rings.

[RRR3]

Lebron is the worst player ever he's never won a single game in his lIDE and he was TERRible in the fourth quarter against the bulls last year. He also choked against the pistons in 2007

Funny how a single blunder after an MVP-caliber game...a game that would have been a blowout without Lebron's incredible play.....changes things.

If that is the only thing wrong, I'll take my chances with what Lebron does in 47 minutes....cuz the chances say, he won't be in that situation enough to make a difference in a series. :no:

[Alamo]

[sfballa13]

Kobe is 7/25 bc he is the man and always wants to attempt to take the game winner

Bron is scared to take the game winner, maybe more scared then he was to jump off that diving board last summer

Bron is seriously one of the biggest puss's in LEAGUE history

He has a chance to win the game, the MVP, and cap an unbelievable comeback and instead defers to DERON WILLIAMS when he had been hitting 3's all quarter

THATS BEING SCARED and its a joke

Almost as big of a joke as Durant playing the whole damn game and taking the 2nd most shots in an ASG in the history of the event.

[Oositdwn]

Are people really crying this much over an ASG?? This is just for entertainment. Or did folks forget that.

Yeah, that's what you guys said last year when he passed out a wide open three point shot and passed it to Bosh to take it for him at the end of the ASG. Then we saw what happened in the finals. Habits are hard to break.

OK how did he defer to Deron Williams when it was pretty obvious that was a play set up by coach thibb don't get wrong I'm upset he didn't take the shot when kobe was guarding him at the top of the key

[PickernRoller]

Lebron fans drawing quick comparisons to Kobe to make their points. There is no point to be made. Lebron in those last two sequences was the same Lebron of the Finals last year. No denying, no denial. LBJ fans should take a nap and relax.

Pulling till the last straws and derailing the thread to a Kobe's stat sheet just shows how pathetic LBJ fans can be. Go to sleep and take this one deep. It was real and it happened. I'll see Lebron hopefully in the finals again this year and I hope he doesn't disappoint me again.

[Foster5k]

Anyone hating on Lebron's play in the All-Star game is dumb as hell. Lebron is the only reason the East had any chance versus the West.

[IGotACoolStory]

You see the post game Wade interview?

Not an exact quote..

Sager: "The last play of the game is drawn up for you and you made one 3 all season. Why?"

Wade: "Because I'm a shotmaker"

Sager: "You are confident it is going in?"

Wade: "Always"


That is what I'm calling out about LeBron.

Lebron wipes his butt with 50K....and the kobe thing?? WHO CARES :hammerhead:

98% of your posts are Kobe related. Who cares? You obviously.

[SpecialQue]

At the end of the day, Lebron is still a great player who will probably end his career with a few championships under his belt and an impressive resume.

That doesn't mean that him deferring in a game that DOESN'T MATTER wasn't some hilarious shit though.

Lebron just can't to close the game. Thats mental thing. This is the reason why he joined Heat.

Hardly the same thing...Lebron was dominant in the 4th...he didn't show up for the 4th in the Finals, not the same thing. One play isn't gonna make or break in the playoffs, it rarely comes down to that.

[PickernRoller]

Anyone hating on Lebron's play in the All-Star game is dumb as hell. Lebron is the only reason the East had any chance versus the West.


Ok so first so you say the game shouldn't be cared about then highlight how Lebron got the team in it again. Why get the team in the game again if at the end you're not going to win it and choke. Dumb excuse made a gazillion times today, next.

You must have missed the 90% that are Jordan related...your math sucks.

[Meticode]

It was really odd watching the game. I didn't start watching until the second half, and LeBron started going off. Then in fourth he hit some ridiculous threes and I'm like "Woot, it's a game again." And during this whole time I was watching the game I have no hate towards him, I was just kind of enjoying the game especially the last 3 minutes when they started playing defense.

Then at the very end LeBron refused to take to take the shot and threw the pass away and I literally laughed out loud so hard. Right before my eyes flashed what he was all of last year when the game mattered.

[d21221hk]

First it's him not showing up for the 4th, now it's about him not taking the last shot. He made a bad decision with the turnover and he's going to learn not to make the same mistake again. He'll be fine.

[hawke812]

Kobe is 7 for 25 in "close playoff game" shots at the end of games....:facepalm

I suppose he gets a pass for that with his "5 rings" - :hammerhead:

As if 7 for 25 had something to do with those 5 rings.

Let's focus on this game:rolleyes:

1. Lebron was HOT (6 of 8?) from the 3pt line IN THIS GAME.

2. The shorter/older/slower/smaller etc. Kobe Bryant was guarding Lebron Beast James.

LBJ had a favorable matchup. Instead of taking a shot, he passes into traffic. This is what he is becoming known for. He does not even try to win the game:hammerhead:

[PickernRoller]

Hardly the same thing...Lebron was dominant in the 4th...he didn't show up for the 4th in the Finals, not the same thing. One play isn't gonna make or break in the playoffs, it rarely comes down to that.


I seen plenty big time shots made in the 4th, whether in the last 2 minutes or the last 30 seconds that decide games when the heat is really on. These things do matter, "they are not difining a player", a "final" but they do tell something about the character of the player down the line. When you get these repeated performances then you can see a pattern. Hopefully it can end this season in the finals. Hopefully.... for now, it's what it's.

Lebron made all the right plays and shots through out the 4th quarter....your dissing for ONE SHOT...i've NEVER seen a shot made with 2 minutes left in a tight ball game that ended the game, have you???

Kobe is 7 for 25 in the playoffs on his last shot, the same situation Lebron is in now, and you want to say that somehow that's gonna make a difference in the playoffs?? Doesnt Kobe have 5 rings while being a 28% shooter in game-winning situations?? :hammerhead:

[PickernRoller]

U mad?? True statement, Lebron made a boring game exciting, you got a problem with that??

You're the one with a problem hehehe not me. I praised Lebron for what he did, I do not praise him for what he didn't do and try to pass it off as nothing substantial. You got the wrong man. I like LBJ, he just keeps letting me down in these moments sorry pal.

When you get Kobe out of your argument repertoire maybe you can have a decent argument why your "way of thought" is the right one. Till next time in a Kobe thread hehehe..... Pauk will join you there I am sure. Looking at some many stats to draw comparisons is really a dedication for an LBJ fan.

So the right one is to shit on Lebron for not taking the last shot....Gotcha, man that hasn't been played out already :rolleyes:

It's pretty interesting that Lebron fans who are downplaying the importance of this game also use All Star appearances and All Star MVPs as further proof of Lebron's greatness when listing his achievements.

it was a boring game because he was getting his ass beat by kobe and durant


More like by Durant and Westbrook, Kobe was boring as usual.

[HB40TheNextStar]

It was a broken play. I doubt in the midst of a monster comeback, the ball wildly saved to him, he looks up and see 5 seconds left, and then thinks, "It's just an allstar game". Just about every basketball player in the world would shoot after you gain control of that ball. Probably earlier in the clock than you would like because you are working purely off of adrenaline in that situation.

All-Star games have literally no importance whatsoever.....:facepalm

[knickswin]

lebron has been poisoned by us. he's so self conscious. always thinking about how every damn shot he takes is going to affect his legacy.

these guys that gun for all star mvp are whack. it's because the media spends so much time talking about this nonsense. "is kobe the best laker of all time, "is lebron the best small forward of all time," "can durant be the best scorer of all time" blah blah blah who cares. just go out there and play to win and worry about that stuff when your career's over and all you're doing is golfing all day anyway.

this is why I gravitate toward guys like dirk, duncan, garnett, rose, melo, etc. they are not weighed down by the nonsense.

[guy]

He caught the ball from way out, Kobe in his grill, along with some other dude backing him up, Wade was WIDE OPEN on that baseline and LeBron made a good decision. Blake makes a great defensive play and jumps in front of the pass. It is what it is.

Dude have you ever played basketball? He wasn't even that open, and even if he was, you don't make a cross court pass like that. Those are the most easily picked off plays in the game.

[PickernRoller]

So the right one is to shit on Lebron for not taking the last shot....Gotcha, man that hasn't been played out already :rolleyes:

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

It's so simple, take the shot and live with the consequences - what happened, his balls dropped off. Mental lapse is a better word. Who in their right mind with James on a back jersey would turn down that kind of shot at the last few seconds, with the game on the line and Kobe teasing you to take the shot....:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Only Lebron.

[plokmz]

Let's focus on this game:rolleyes:

1. Lebron was HOT (6 of 8?) from the 3pt line IN THIS GAME.

2. The shorter/older/slower/smaller etc. Kobe Bryant was guarding Lebron Beast James.

LBJ had a favorable matchup. Instead of taking a shot, he passes into traffic. This is what he is becoming known for. He does not even try to win the game:hammerhead:
although kobe is getting older, he can still play great d, especially in those clutch points. And you know lbj does not really a good 3 pt shooter, not as ray allen or some other dispassionate guys.
you just cannot blame him because of that, we all know he will vanish into air when the team is facing win-or-go home situations

Nice try..... Lebron was easily the best player of this game... that comeback assault he did was just beautiful, in Kobes face over and over and he also did set people up... the only reason Durant got the all-star mvp is because West won the game...

Most games in the playoffs don't come down to the last shot....if Lebron performed just like in the playoffs without taking a last second shot, they still win it all.

You came here crying about a game that would be no where close if not for Lebron, simply cuz he didn't take the last shot...PATHETIC, and an All-Star game no less. It's not like he didn't show up for a whole 4th quarter.

[Mr. Jabbar]

he passed it up THREE TIMES

LOL is he even a man??

lmao

[guy]

Funny how a single blunder after an MVP-caliber game...a game that would have been a blowout without Lebron's incredible play.....changes things.

If that is the only thing wrong, I'll take my chances with what Lebron does in 47 minutes....cuz the chances say, he won't be in that situation enough to make a difference in a series. :no:

Same old story with Lebron and his supporters. No one's denying that Lebron isn't great or a HOF player. But its stuff like this that separates him from many other greats. Who would you rather take? Someone who's that great during the first 47 minutes and horrible in the last minute like Lebron? Or someone who's that great during the first 47 minutes, and just as good in the last minute like most of the top 10 players of all time? Its just an All-Star game, but it still says a lot about his character. That whole sequence gives myself and probably many other fans' more confidence that the Heat won't win it all this year once again due to the Lebron's fragile mental state.

Its so sad and pathetic that even Kobe is frustrated and trying to help the guy out with advice. Kobe, a man who's accomplishments and legacy the in the next few years could be greatly dependent on Lebron and how he performs.

Close games are a rarity but they do happen and you can't take the mental toughness required to win it all out of the picture.

Chuck had a great quote during that NBATV special with Shaq, Kenny, Kerr, Webber, etc.

The topic was clutch shots... Paraphrasing: "I was the best player on the team and I felt it was on me to win the game or take the heat if we lose"
Reggie and Webber agreed.

LeBron is the best player on the planet. I find it difficult to argue with that. But for some reason he is reluctant to deal with the potential of failure. And it sill backfires more often than not.

This is nothing new. Makes good conversation, though.

IMO, I would rather have a guy with the Kobe/MJ mentality of "My shot, win or lose" than LeBron's of "I'll try and make the best play". The latter seems like common sense, but it greatly affects the other parts of your game. I want my superstar to have that... Well killer instinct with unbreakable confidence.

[RazorBaLade]

He hasn't lost 3 series due to last second shots.

ya its not about last second shots as it is the lack of willingness to do something by himself

be it take a lot of shots over a 2 min stretch, or take a shot in the last 2 seconds.

its the mentality that was on display here tonight yet again, not it being a gw or a turnover... the mentality of the best player on the team once again not willing to make the big decisions and live with the results.

[bwink23]

That has yet to be proven. Until they win it all you can't hypothesize what is going to happen. Like I said.....:hammerhead:


That's not a hypothesis, it's a FACT...series are rarely decided on last second shots. Jordan has 18 game winning attempts in 179 playoff games. Kobe has 25 in 209. Jordan has hit 2 game winners that ended a series in his career...Kobe has ZERO.

With Lebron, i can live with those odds....plus, i believe Lebron is 5 for 12 in the playoffs for game winners...

Lebron more than showed up in the 4th quarter, he OWNED it, except for that last play...

I can live with those odds.

Your here right now ragging on Lebron not cuz of what he did in 2 minutes...cuz he KiLLED the 4th quarter...your doing it cuz of the very last play....I'm sorry, but if your taking this game to heart...then that to me is a step in the right direction...he may have not made the right play at the end, but that's better than he's been lately, AGREE?

Ya well he was very aggressive but he stopped.. He might as well not have started. No point in only doing it 95% of the way.. you don't get credit for ALMOST not being a bitch anymore. Going hard then stopping when you still have to is the same as never going hard at all.

no I don't agree. this is exactly what I expect from this player now. Sooner or later, if you can keep it close, he will choke the game away. he has yet to prove me wrong.

[bwink23]

It's an overreaction to a meaningless game, but the fact that he was on fire and didn't even attempt the game-winner...it just reinforces what haters here already think of the guy.

I know...that if he shot and missed, the haters would be hating on that, it's a no-win situation with them.

First it's, "Lebron disappears in the 4th"

Then when he shows up in the 4th in a BIG WAY, but doesn't take the last shot it's "Look Lebron's to scared to take the last shot.":confusedshrug:

If Lebron could play like that every 4th quarter, the chances of needing a last second game winner are next to none.... Like i said, if Lebron comes alive in the 4th, i'll take a 47 minute, 30-second Lebron over anyone in the league today.

This. Stage was set up for him to close out the game and overshadow his rival Mr Bryant breaking MJ's All Star record. He didn't want any piece of that last shot. You'd think his confidence would have been through the roof. He couldn't miss in that 4th q.
I just gotta hope as a Miami fan that come playoffs, either LBJ dominates so much that it doesn't go to the last shot, or if it does, that D Wade takes over.

That is where you're blind. I recognize the effort at the end. What he did at the last two seconds was most defining yet. You clearly emphasize on his overall 4th quarter performance because of the criticism. However that performance does not make up for the mental lapse in the last seconds of the game. It's that simple. Live with it and stop complaining and drawing Kobe, MJ stat comparisons etc. This kind of thing doesn't show up on stats....Pauk and you should form the Lebron Cheerleading Team :hammerhead:

Pretty sure LeBron has proven he can hit the last shot plenty of times before. People have selective memories. LeBron having trouble in the 4th quarters is a recent development, but people love to rewrite history.

You're right. Its a recent development. He's actually had very clutch moments earlier in his career. 2007 vs. the Pistons was one of the most clutch moments I've ever seen in my life.

But WHATS YOUR POINT? His 4th quarter troubles of the last 2 years or so is a much greater indication of what he's able to do in the clutch then what he did in his first 7 years. There's clearly a mental block in his head ever since he joined Miami.

No, they'd just find other reasons to hate the guy. Same thing with Kobe. You'd think three straight finals appearances, back-to-back championships and passing Shaq in the all-time scoring list would shut people up, but no.

How is anyone "rewriting" history? Dude has been choking. He choked today. Bad decisions at the end of games. It is a trend he has started on his own. All he has to do is take the last shot and all this crap will go away. I am pretty certain he would have MADE that shot if he wanted to:rolleyes:

Apart from vs Bulls and Celtics in the playoffs...think alot of it is unsure wether Wade should shoot or not too....think he realises he has another top 3player so he isn't sure when to shoot or pass.

I don't believe that at all. He's a smart player and he almost always makes the right decisions in the first 46 minutes of games. He doesn't just turn into an idiot the last few minutes, he's just scared. And even if that were the case, he wouldn't have been that passive in the Finals. And in this case, it made absolutely no sense to make a cross court pass when there's like 4 seconds left.

[guy]

Lebron's fans really need to stop complaining about the criticism. For someone as hyped as he is, he deserves most of the criticism he gets. Maybe he doesn't deserve criticism for tweeting about a dunk, but he does for stuff like this.

I'm a Jordan fan to the bone...but i recognize Lebron's greatness...i can understand disappearing in the 4th, that's unacceptable, but he didn't. Did he run from the moment?? Probably...I'm i gonna hold that against him? NO. Cuz he made his impression on the entire game. Not every great player in history has been cut-out for the absolute last seconds, and they shouldn't be crucified for it either....what Lebron does throughout a game makes his team's great, that is undeniable. Maybe he needs a Wade for those last second moments, i really don't care. If he plays like he did tonight for 47 minutes, that will be more than enough to secure rings, PERIOD.

Games are won in the last 2 minutes of games in the playoffs my friend. He can't run away from it forever. I know what your saying, but we are talking about Lebron here, if he didnt have such a big mouth and attitude, Id say the hate for him would be halved...He has shown that he can be clutch, he needs to do it alot more, especially with his level of arrogance and self-proclaimation.

I understand that also....he has brought some of this on himself, but he isn't the one that continues to keep it going. And let's not pretend that if Lebron was clutch as hell in the NBA Finals and won it all this year, that the childish antics of his detractors around here would stop...Someone has to slay the trolls.

It would actually change a lot. Lets also not pretend that Lebron winning the NBA Finals and being clutch in the process is some sort of given anymore. His supporters have been saying this now for years, but after 8 seasons of him not getting it done, I don't see how anyone can keep pretending that its a given.

[CardiacKemba]

Kobe had the biggest play of the game though. Putting words in LeBrons head, was the final piece to crushing any plans James' had of taking the last shot with 1.1 seconds to go. :lol

I don't necessarily think LeBron was in the wrong for giving to Williams, considering he was open. But to be the inbounder on the last play when you basically couldn't miss in the fourth? That was unacceptable.

Did Lebron play great in the 4th quarter...YES or NO??

[ac_gold_26]

Some of you people are hilarious. His the reason the game was even close. He made one stupid mistake he should of shoot it. But his the reason they had a chance to win.Why can't you people just enjoy the game instead of hating. It was a fun game.

[RazorBaLade]

Did Lebron play great in the 4th quarter...YES or NO??

No. Turning the ball over with a few seconds left and losing the game puts a black mark on any 4th quarter.

No, I wouldn't mind seeing bron finally not choke. It doesnt matter to me, as long as its not vs the lakers (in which I'd rather see him choke and lose) then he can win or choke...

Lebron was clutch in the 4th but failed to seal the deal...just like Jordan or Kobe have done in their careers, as other greats have done. It's not like Lebron was NOT clutch in the 4th.

Yeah no. How long have you been watching bastketball?


A LOT longer than you...Jordan has exactly 2 game winners that ended a series....Kobe has exactly ZERO....Lebron flubbing in the last 5 seconds isn't gonna make or break a series...It rarely comes down to that ...


Jordan has 18 game winning attempts in 179 playoff games...

You not once mentioned that, which is a positive step in the right direction....you zeroed in on the play....the same play Kobe has flubbed 18 out of 25 times...that's just on his shots alone.

The point I'm trying to make is no matter what, you guys are going to be showing up in droves ready to drop criticism. What actually happened is completely irrelevant. Let me say this again. Regardless of the outcome of this game and Lebron's performance in it you would all still be shitting all over him for various reasons. Just substitute one for the other. Just a few posts up you have a guy saying Lebron lost the game. He was one of the only reasons the East were even staying competitive, yet this guy is putting the entire onus for the loss on him.

I haven't seen fans be more irrational and biased with many other athletes.

The problem is that outside of criticism and fan blabber, there are facts.

At the end of the day, no post on message boards will ever outweigh facts.

A loss and a turnover is a loss and a turnover. A pull up j in kobes grill is a pull up j in kobes grill that will forever be remembered. There'd be plenty of people that would say it didnt matter... but it happened. The facts would be there, and lebron would feel GREAT about himself. theres no denying these things

That's irrelevant considering they would have never been in that position if it wasn't for him in the first place. His 4th quarter play was the best on the floor. If the Heat go to the Finals with that type of Lebron, it's a guaranteed ring...let Wade take or hit the last shots if necessary, i don't care about that at all. But tonight's Lebron = RINGS no matter how you want to slice it...He doesn't need to take the last shot to be great. He just needs to play great.

[guy]

By the way, for all the people that say he's so great in the first 46 minutes of a game that the last 2 minutes don't matter much, you can argue that maybe if he took more of a backseat to his teammates it would put them in a better rhythm so once those last 2 minutes come, his teammates that aren't afraid to take those last shots and make those decisions would be in a better rhythm to better there chances in actually making a big play. For example, maybe if it was Wade that dominated the ball and took over the game like he's clearly able to from the beginning of the 4th quarter instead of Lebron, it would've also ended up in his hands at the end and he would've made a big play. Just a thought.

He was the best player in the 4th, sure. That doesn't mean he was great. Maybe your standards are lower, I don't know. That Lebron doesn't equal rings. Boneheaded decisions like that don't win rings. You're discounting that there are so many close playoff games. It doesn't matter if the game is decided in the last second or at the last minute (where it then turns into a free throw shooting contest anyway). This is a huge reflection on who he is as a player and a leader. If he doesn't shake it off, he's not winning sh*t unless Wade saves him.

Are you telling me he couldn't have hard drove right and gotten around Kobe or faked right, and went back left to attack right down the middle?

This is ridiculous. Kobe and KD were both on him until he leaves his feet and KD goes to find his man. He would have had to pull from 28-29 feet off the dribble against a double team. I mean not even Kobe would have liked that shot.

I can't believe people are excusing him for this. Yes, had he taken that shot it would've been a very tough shot. I don't think people are really denying that. But it still would've been a much better choice to make then throwing a cross court pass with 4 seconds left. Thats literally like the worst pass anyone can make. He should've at least tried to pass it to Melo. But with only that much time left, its really hard to process who to pass it to that quickly, which is why he should've shot it. He clearly just wanted that ball out of his hands.

I think its funny. KD makes a lazy pass in the back court with 1:40 to go that DWill steals and puts it back to go down 1. Does he get killed for it? Of course not, its an all-star game. LBJ hits Wade in stride with 1 min to go to put the East ahead and Wade inexplicably bumbles it out of bounds. Big deal? Of course not, its the All-Star game. LBJ doesn't shoot a 28 footer to tie on double coverage, off the dribble? KILL 'EM.

[pmj]

I'm a fan of his, and I was disappointed as well. Everyone on the court (and 99% of the people on earth) didn't understand why he didn't shoot it.

It doesn't matter if there were people on him. There wasn't much time, there wasn't a good shot at that point, and realistically he's the most physically capable of taking a long, contested 3.

Look at Kobe & Melo's faces.

LBJ hits Wade in stride with 1 min to go to put the East ahead and Wade inexplicably bumbles it out of bounds. Big deal? Of course not, its the All-Star game. LBJ doesn't shoot a 28 footer to tie on double coverage, off the dribble? KILL 'EM.

That stupid pass is why KD didn't deserve the all star MVP, in addition to that retarded coach basically gifting it to him while preventing other players from getting on the floor.

I'm probably the only one here who feels this way, but aside from Rose and Dwight's vanishing acts during THE ENTIRE GAME, I hated KD the most in this game. And the weird thing is I don't even have a problem with him in general, but his performance in this game just really pissed me off.

And before some retard chimes in about me being a "Kobe stan," I thought Kobe had an alright game, but he also didn't deserve the all star MVP. Looking objectively at the game, aside from that very last brain fart at the end, it should have gone to Lebron.

Because in both of those cases there was a good amount of time left, KD hasn't shown a pattern of shrinking in the clutch and he isn't nearly as hyped, and Wade has won a title before and hasn't shown a pattern of shrinking in the clutch either. Yes it was only an ASG, but the fact that he was that scared to take a shot in a meaningless exhibition says alot about his psyche. He probably would've been infinitely more scared if that was the NBA Finals.

Not a Kobe fan, but this is funny.

Umm yes. Given his track record lately, just how ridiculously stupid of a pass that was to make despite being hot frome 3 all game, and the fact that he inbounded the ball the next play, yes thats what I thought.

There's no other wing player in that game that makes that pass instead of shooting it. Kobe, Melo, Durant, CP3, Rose, Westbrook, Nash, Dirk, Pierce, Love, Wade all take that shot.

All-star games or Finals games, one thing you can always count on is Lebron choking. Just stop including his name with all time greats, please.

This right here

Its just odd all the hate lebron is getting over that last 5 secs...he should of shot it yeah but u can see why he did try to pass and to him at the time it made sense considering who else was out there... He and wade made it close in the 4th and saved this from being a terrible weekend...he played great in the 4th and made it worth watching from a highlight standpoint.

There are times when he deserves hate but in a fun show off game this really isn't the time. For people to think he was scared to take the last shot in an all star game is hard to get my head around.

Oh well was a great game in the end and made the weekend not quite as bad.
