Imagine Jordan not receiving any votes for taking the last shot during the 90s.

I'm very surprised that Kawhi & Kyrie didn't get a single vote either

Well Lebron is an average or below average shooter, you definitely wont want him to take the last shot. You'd put the ball in his hands with 10 secs left, he will be able to drive and find and open shooter, but with 1-2 secs left hes not going to take the shot himself since hes just bad at shooting.

This post makes it seem like you honestly haven't watched LeBron at all, you got things completely backward. He's actually made virtually all of his playoff game winners with 1-2 seconds left ('09 Magic, '13 Indy, '15 Bulls, '18 Indy), and even the Raptors one he crossed half court with under 4 seconds left. It's when he has time that LeBron is prone not to put up the shot, like he didn't do against the Warriors in '18 or Miami last season

Which year of the 90's was MJ going into his 18th season?

Yea that’s a weird position. Given no time he catches and shoots or attacks pretty well. I think the game winner vs the Wizards was like that too. The one he caught it and went baseline. He probably had 3 seconds max in that one.

Im not sure he doesn’t have the most(recorded) buzzer beaters in history. Obviously we can’t account for Jerry West or Sam Jones types. But of who we have video of? I think he’s the all time leader in playoff buzzer beaters.

When he gets it with time he might try to make a play. Catch and go? He’s often made the shot himself.

Thinking back now, it's funny how completely wrong kiddlovesnets is on the subject :lol LeBron does much better with almost no time left in those situations than he does winding down the clock. The only playoff GW I can think of him making in that scenario is against the Pistons in '07

Meanwhile, he's missed in similar situations on several occasions; against Boston in Game 1 in '08, in 2013 right before Ray's 3, and the end of Games 1 & 2 in the '15 Finals. Maybe he just overthinks it :confusedshrug:

No votes for Kyrie, 25% votes for Curry. Thank God LeBron isn't on that trash
