LeBron's Game Winning Jumper to Seal the 2013 Finals

[SilkkTheShocker]

Where does it rank in all-time great Finals moments? Game-winners in a game 7 have to be pretty rare.

[Bobcats2013]

Bad switch, I wouldn't rank it high.

[K Xerxes]

Uhhh, it wasn't a game winning jumper.

Better to describe it as a game sealer. Not to mention those two FTs he made to make it a 6 point game and essentially put the game out of reach.

It wasn't a buzzer beater, or game tier, or game winner, but it was a crucial shot and I give him mad props for that shot. Biggest shot his career?

It has to be up there at the very least. He was phenomenal.

[kennethgriffin]

not only were they already up 2. but they werent even the last points of the game


if this stuff counted towards kobes game winners. he'd have around 500 instead of 28

:facepalm


F7cking epic fail OP

[diamenz]

silkk, you're making a bigger deal out of it than it really was. it wasn't a game winner and lebron didn't have a great series - he got bailed out BIG TIME by ray allen. lipstick on a pig.

[TMT]

Game 6 was Game 7 to me. And all I saw in the final minutes of that game from Lebron was him going into desperation chuck mode. The guy legitimately had fear on his face and thought it was over. Are we forgetting that the offensive rebound that Bosh got and tipped to Allen was off a Lebron James three point clank? :confusedshrug:

[VeeCee15]

Please guys think critically.

This shot was nothing..who cares if it was game 7.

Game 6 or Game 7 is the same both ELIMINATION games for the heat.
Therefore, Ray Allen's 3 pointer is...5000 times more CLUTCH than lebron's shot. And lebron is my fav superstar out of the current generation..along with D rose.

Most clutch game 7 maybe ever.
You know what's more clutch?

Never having to play a game 7 in the finals. :pimp:

You cant mention that truth on InsideHeats..Don't talk about how even all the Lebron stans were calling for his head from games 1-6 of the finals:lol if not for rayray bron would be a laughing stock right now.

He had some great chokes to finish game 6 but ray had to make that 3:facepalm

Hopefully the east is healthier next season, a few teams can actually challenge and beat the heat.

This comment makes no sense. They were down 5 with 28 second left. What was he supposed to do if not go into "desperation chuck mode"?

Allen doesn't tie the game without LeBron's dominance in the second half. You still lose.:oldlol:

You rather believe a lie than accept the truth that LeBron carried the Heat by himself back in that game. Looks like your're still under the effects of failed suicide attempt after LeBron's 2nd Ring, you are still incoherent:roll: :roll:

Im talking about game 7. You know, where LeBron ended any shot of Duncan ever winning a 5th title. :oldlol:

You mean the day Lebron achieved 50% of the success Duncan has? :lol

On a serious note though, Lebron was lucky to even be playing in a Game 7. Once again bailed out by his teammates having bigger balls than him. :oldlol:

So, since you want to talk factual, will you admit that fact that time and time again Lebron is bailed out by his teammates performances and at times elite feats? Let's be real, how many games did Lebron play his full potential in during the Finals? Realistically I'd say less than half. What's your opinion on that, Silk?

[Brokenbeat]

Ray Allen's 3 is the highlight of that entire series regardless of how well LeBron played. If that 3 didn't go in, then LeBron would most likely be out of the GOAT conversation. Dude was about to cry in the seconds leading up to Ray making that shot too. Then he got all cocky after they won game 7, lol. We were all witnesses.

[SilkkTheShocker]

I guess the Heat were luck that Spurs have been the biggest chokers in the for several years now.

Im still laughing at him bragging about beating a shitty Cavalier team. In 20-30 years people will still be watching games 6/7 on ESPN Classic and talking about how LeBron ran his nuts across the Spurs faces :oldlol:

[tazb]

:facepalm @ these people saying Allen saved LBJ's legacy. Yes, you gotta give credit to Allen for dropping such a big time shot. But lets forget there still was another game to be played for the NBA title. Now, that's where the legends are made and LBJ sure proved it dropping dagger after dagger. Meanwhile we got other stars in the league shooting an unpleasant 6-24 in a Game 7 and being labelled as the GOAT. :lol :facepalm

You know what is sad and pathetic? That you still have resorted to use "if" and woulda/coulda scenarios when defending your team. Do you want the truth? The truth is LeBron James shit on your team in game 7 and ended any chance of Duncan winning a 5th ring or retiring in the Bird/Magic tier. Those are the facts.

And what gives you the idea that he's still in the conversation?

Individually; He's not better than Jordan.
He can tie or surpass 5 MVPs but he's not competing against Prime Magic, Prime Barkley, Prime Hakeem or even Karl Malone.
Jordan is the better playoff performer. Of course he had some bad series but he didn't have the chokejobs LeBron had (and still can be added on).

Peak wise Jordan.
Prime wise Jordan.
Accolades wise Jordan.
LeBron can surpass Jordan on longevity but I highly doubt.


And that's just Jordan, the player which is called the goat by many NBA followers. LeBron doesn't have a case against Kareem either.

If LeBron doesn't start to win like Shaq did in 2000, he can have any rings he wants, he wouldn't have a case for the goat. Jordan is called the goat due the level of play he has ever reached. He was called the goat right after his first retirement. People got obsessed with the rings coz him. He was that big. LeBron isn't.

He's in the conversation whether or not you or I agree with it.

As for LeBron, I don't even dislike the guy. If anything, I think he gets a lot of unwarranted hate. I saw the look of defeat in his eyes leading up to Ray's shot, though. Would LeBron have taken that shot with that much on the line? The entire series hinged on that 3 (as did LeBron's legacy), and him missing it would've been worse than just losing. After seeing that look on his face, I don't think he would've taken it, and the fact that it's even questionable speaks volumes. He's easily one of the best ever though, I just think that he lacks the mental fortitude needed to take him over the top (into GOAT status).

LeBron wouldn't have taken that gamble, so Ray Allen did it for him. This thread should be about that shot, but the stans can't seem to give credit to anyone else.

Hmm, let's think if lebron missed that shot. Miami still would be leading by 2.

Game 7 was like watching a zombie mutant villain beating the crap out of an "over the hill" hero who had no more energy.

The game was like freebee for Lebron.

He had already had his "nightmare" game/ending (gm6) and somehow escaped it.

Game 6 was Game 7 to me. And all I saw in the final minutes of that game from Lebron was him going into desperation chuck mode. The guy legitimately had fear on his face and thought it was over. Are we forgetting that the offensive rebound that Bosh got and tipped to Allen was off a Lebron James three point clank? :confusedshrug:
I would be upset too if Lebron dominated my team. :lol

[aburre21]

it's amazing how Lebron doesn't get credit for his shot in game 7 but Tony Parker got credit for his shot in game 1 when the spurs were already up 2 in that game. They were calling him all kinds of heros and clutch after that game



Congrats to the Spurs for winning Game 1 and to Parker for that huge shot. Three more wins to go.

That was like the best shot in history.

Such a clutch play by Parker and a clutch win by the Spurs on the road.

Shot is good, and it's one of the ballsiest clutch shots I've ever seen...

Goatny Parker won this game for the Spurs!!:rockon:


that shot was 0.4 derek fisher-eque :bowdown: :bowdown:

it counts to me. legendary shot from a legendary player. :applause:

That's one of the stupidest ****ing GOAT plays ever. :lol


PARKER CLUTCH yessssss


Tony Parker Is A Clutch God


and that's not even the half of it :lol





People were calling it an all time clutch jumpshot

This shot by Lebron is clutcher than anything Kobe did in his Game 7 or in the Finals.

ftfy

[tmacattack33]

It was great. One of the most clutch things we've ever witnessed in sports given the rash that woulda been thrown at Lebron had he missed, and the implications it woulda had on his legacy had they lost that game.


Sh*t like that is why I'm a sports fan.

[AintNoSunshine]

huge shot for lebron, routine shot for kobe or mj.


Why the fukk is Kobe in the same sentence with MJ?:biggums:

Lol Kobe was taking over the 4th quarter of game 7 in the 2000 WCF finals when Lebron was still in jr high. Sit down kid

So now Conference Finals are more important that Finals? I've seen Lebron take over Game 7 Confernece final games before.
Again this shot by Lebron is clutcher that anything Kobe did.

[Kurosawa0]

It was a huge shot, but it will always be overlooked because Ray's shot is probably top 3 all-time. Honestly though, you have to admit, that shot and the two free throws he hit is as clutch as it gets. Easily a bigger shot than anything Kobe has made and arguably bigger than anything MJ did either. Game 7 is just special like that.

It was a wide open shot with the Heat having the lead right?

MJ's shot against the Jazz was the 2nd most clutch shot to only Ray Allen's Game 6 shot. The Bulls were underdogs against the Jazz before the series, Bulls down by 1 Jordan gets the steal from Malone, with the clock winding down, Jordan aims up Byron one on one, fakes one way crossovers back and pushes off Russell and nails the last shot in a Bulls uniform to win the championship.

They wouldn't have needed 7 games if he played to his potential through the first 6 games. I mean, all he did in game 7 was take and make WIDE open jumpers the Spurs were begging him to shoot all series. Why did it take so long for him to have the confidence to capitalize? It's not alienating teammates with aggressive play when the defense is begging you, sagging, and giving you wide open looks. That means that IS the best shot on the floor. Trying to work harder to find another will be very difficult.

LeBron clearly out thunk himself, and lacked testicular fortitude to punctuate on the Spurs oddly disrespectful game plan. Pop knows Bron is most devastating when driving and getting others involved. He banked on Bron not having confidence in himself, and un willing to handle the pressure of wide open jumpers, alienating a very team centric player ... and it nearly won them the NBA Finals if it wasn't for Duncan and Ginobili's choke jobs.

If LeBron would've done what he did in game 7, in say ... game 2 and game 3 to prove that defensive philosophy on him wouldn't work. It would've forced the Spurs to guard him tightly, respect his entire offensive repertoire, they would then have to restructure their defense, and LeBron could go back to penetrating and dropping dimes for easy looks to teammates and finished the series MUCH sooner.

No need to talk about possibilities in different games.

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron haters logic:

Best G7 performer of all time - well, he should've ended the series much sooner

He also confirmed that he is the best elimination games performer of all time in G6 - still should've ended the series much sooner, he was getting embarassed by Spurs' gameplan

LeBron wins the Finals in 5 games - WEAK COMPETITION - ASTERISK * * *

I find LeBron's game 7 performances to be very much prop worthy, don't get me wrong. He's not a let down in those situations like Kobe has been in comparison through out his career. He's had memorable games, this year's Finals game 7 being one of them.

But don't you think it's odd that you being a stan for LeBron, and others make excuses for him rather than hold him to a higher standard as I do? I know damn well he's the best basketball talent I've seen since peak Jordan.

I also know that means his capabilities are much higher, and point blank he didn't perform all that well in the Finals apart from a short stretch in game 6, and a wonderful game 7 where all he did was take advantage of WIDE open space for mid range jumpers.

I think I just might think LeBron is a better player than his actual stans do. Who make excuses for his short comings or failures, where I harp on them because they are aspects that if improved upon would MAKE HIM BETTER.

That's what coaches do. They are harshest on their best students, with the best capabilities.

Why is it difficult for you to acknowledge that apart from a head band less stretch in game 6, and all of game 7 ... LeBron was average at best in the Finals. Being defended by Boris Diaw (at times Leonard), was sagged off and disrespected ... asked to shoot wide open mid range and three point shots and he didn't capitalize until the final game?

His game 7 doesn't negate the fact he should have had the balls, and basketball intelligence to take advantage of the obvious much earlier in the series. He could've been way more impressive, but wasn't.

[Doranku]

You're not the best anything if you have a team playing Rondo defense on you (effectively, at that) for an entire 7 game finals series. :oldlol:

Anyone who says stuff like that is a retard and can't really be taken seriously.

[raid09]

He's in the conversation whether or not you or I agree with it.

As for LeBron, I don't even dislike the guy. If anything, I think he gets a lot of unwarranted hate. I saw the look of defeat in his eyes leading up to Ray's shot, though. Would LeBron have taken that shot with that much on the line? The entire series hinged on that 3 (as did LeBron's legacy), and him missing it would've been worse than just losing. After seeing that look on his face, I don't think he would've taken it, and the fact that it's even questionable speaks volumes. He's easily one of the best ever though, I just think that he lacks the mental fortitude needed to take him over the top (into GOAT status).

LeBron wouldn't have taken that gamble, so Ray Allen did it for him. This thread should be about that shot, but the stans can't seem to give credit to anyone else.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. This entire post is based on the precedent that LeBron wouldn't have taken that shot?


Sure... Unless we remember that he just drained the previous 3 to make it a two point game. He also happened to miss a 3 off the front rim on the play leading to Allen's 3, where he was jumping up and down calling for the ball from Bosh. Yeah, looking at the context, you seem right on point..........

I see what you're saying and sometimes your shots not going in and you lose confidence..this happens to a lot of players. Kobe and Melo will never lose confidence in that regard but they will shoot their teams out of games. But what other super star would dictate that kind of "pack it in" defense like LeBron? You can argue Shaq, but LeBron is way more of a complete package in both offense and defense. Just because the Spurs had an odd game plan doesn't mean all credit should be taken away from the 37 points LBJ scored.

GIVE KOBE WIDEOPEN JUMPERS ALL SERIES AND FAT BORIS DIAW DEFENSE. 42PPG 58%FG FOR FINALS.

GIVE THE SAME TO LEBRON 25PPG 44% FG. PRICELESS:roll: :roll: :roll:

25 PPG on 45% FG down from a 27 PPG 56% FG regular season. LEBRON THE GOAT CARRIED HIS TEAM TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP WITH ANOTHER ALL TIME GREAT NBA FINALS :bowdown:

lebron is on the mount rushmore of NBA clutchness.



not even debatable.

[3ball]

anyone else in lebron's place would've won in less than 7 games because they wouldn't average 16 on 39% thru 3 games, or 23 on 43% thru 6, nor would they be a net negative for the series (heat lost with lebron on the floor)

lebron net rating in 13' Finals = NEGATIVE 0.3.. so the heat lost with him on the floor.. he was horrible in that series and saved by Ray allen
