Can we all just agree Lebron IS NOT clutch?

[Tenchi Ryu]

No pressure in the Bulls series being down 1-0 with PLENTY of people saying Bulls would beat them? Revisionist history at its finest.

Too bad a MAJOR portion of that comeback is currently injured and out indefinitely. Just so happens the game were it WAS the Lebron/Wade show was the game they got blown out.

Yeah. They were going up against an inexperienced team who couldn't close out games and they didn't have a consistent 2nd scoring option. Thus, the Bulls didn't really put pressure on the Heat.

Kobe quit in 2006? He was the reason we were up 3-1.

This is of Kobe's BEST clutch moments. He put up 50 in game 6 how is that quitting?????????? GTFOH........

Why do Lebron fans do this? Like they try to pull some crazy stat or game from Kobe & Jordan's past to justify all of his flaws. These guys are some of the most cold blooded players & have 5 & 6 rings no comparison.....

It's cuz they lack not only the common sense to know when they already lost an argument. But they also lack the basketball knowledge to come up with a coherent defense for Lebron's obvious flaws. They fail to understand that trying to make somebody better than Lebron look bad, in order to try and make Lebron look good, just makes them look foolish. Grasping at straws, trying to preserve a lost argument.

The problem with Lebron is that he doesn't step up in the FACE of adversity. When things are getting going (Like Boston and Chicago), he does fine. But the minute his jumper doesn't fall, or the other team is gritty enough to keep it close, he wilts. He doesn't have an extra gear.

It's like the school bully who abuses guys (Boston and Chicago), but when somebody punches him in the nose, he suddenly backs off.

That's the same thing I'm saying, but remember now, Lebron's supposed to be the best of the best of the best.

According to who? The people who voted Rose MVP and were picking the 1st seed in the East to continue their success into the playoffs and beat Miami with their HCA? It's easy to state this shit after the fact but during that series, specifically after game 1, there was PLENTY of pressure on Miami, in particular LeBron.

^LakersReign off his medicine again...

[Alamo]

Yes, Lebron isn't clutch. We already know this.

[Rysio]

he's clutch but mostly when he's the underdog. dude hates pressure.

Im not talking about who were favorites to win the series. The Heat's back were never against the wall during the series.

What, they need to be down 3-1, and overcome a 20 point deficit in the 4th before it's considered real pressure?

Orlando game 5 in 09, with one of the most brilliant 4th quarters in recent memory conveniently forgotten as well?

[Indian guy]

before the pressure comes.

Again, how is a player who supposedly can't handle the pressure the 'best'?

[LakersReign]

Lebron was Gassed and Shook after missing 2 Fts and than having Shot Blocked By Goerge. Down 2 He passes to Wade instead of attacking rim was Bad and than Being a Decoy letting Chalmers jack up contested last shot when he has done nothing productive all was Inexcusable. I said this after loss to Knicks The games that come down the stretch are still a problem with Heat cause Lebron Dominates Ball All game long than wants nothing to do with it when it matter most and Other are expected to bail him out.. Doesn't work that way Lebron U won MVP act like it and Demand the ball and Shots in those closing situations. 2 Playoff Losses Both times Lebron doesnt even have Anything to do with last play.

That's your boy Lebron....the 3 time MVP.

No point in arguing with these biased posters. It's clear who the LeBron haters are. If you don't like someone, why spend so much energy bringing them up. Just doesn't make sense.

[Tenchi Ryu]

Gotta agree with Shaq and Kenny

"Go with what you know"

[LBJMVP]

good points about how the play was broken and lebron still passed to wade.

[DMAVS41]

At this point there are just too many examples and mounting evidence that Lebron can only front run late in tight games. Yea, he may score a lot in the 4th qtrs....but in this really tight games that his team is down or tied...he just hasn't had it since the 2010 playoffs.

I've always defended Lebron because he still does take way too much criticism, but these games are starting to pile up and pile up.

The Pacers really could win this series now. And Lebron absolutely choked his ass off yet again in a big playoff moment. Ouch for Heat....

[Kujo]

Yes, especially in the playoffs, when it really matters.

Skip Bayless is going to have a field day on First Take tomorrow.
