will lebron forever be known as a guy who lacked "killer instinct"

[kennethgriffin]

every time i hear a guy pick kobe over lebron or jordan over lebron in a prime vs prime debate

its cause they had "killer instinct"

they took over. never deferred. wanted the ball/shot/pressure/blame and never ran to another mans team



stat geeks can come out and say "lebrons efficient though!"

lol thats cause he passes up the tough shots in the clutch more often than not... that turn around to win it vs the bulls was a rare time lebron wanted to take a tough shot. he's hit a few. but 9 times out of 10 lebron would shy away



padding fg% in the clutch and having team mates take the pressure shots half the time has made lebron into a magic johnson ( without all the titles )



imagine if magic only had 1 real title ( and it was off the back of a team mates finals saving moment )

magic made up for his passive mentality by demanding the ball in crunch time during important moments.

like the hook shot to win a finals game. that combined with his 5 titles are the reason people give him a pass for "passing"

lebron just passes and loses. this is the reason "the magic johnson of our era" is ridiculed and passed up for guys like kobe and jordan in all time debates for "prime vs prime"



this is why guys like larry bird, michael jordan, shaquille oneal and many more go public with their picks of kobe over bron

my question to ISH is...

if killer instinct = alpha

whats the opposite mean?

Just shows that Kobe got that killer instinct. Never afraid of taking big shots

[Young X]

Why do you look at passing like it's a negative? People gave Magic a pass for passing? What?

[HelterSkelter]

and I'm sure you clowned on LeBron for missing a lot too.. so..

So LeBron made more on fewer attempts and that's a bad thing?

[LikeABosh]

No, he won't. Especially after winning 2 straight FMVPs and hitting more playoff game winners people have woken up and seen the data. Lebron is an all time great clutch performer. Now matter how hard your gang of pathetic kobe stands try to say other wise. People outside of your circle of basement dwelling, unemployed, virgins know the truth. After Lebron wins another FMVP this year I suggest you seek counseling, maybe check your self in to a mental health institution for a while so you don't do anything stupid.

How do you pad a game tying or game winning shot in the playoffs?

And I'm sure Lebron has made a ton of those clutch shots as well. If I was an unemployed virgin, I would scour the web to compile the data.

[HelterSkelter]

Idk , you tell me. If that's not lack of killer instinct, then idk what its

It was funny from 2011-2012

the URL. A special folder for LeBron...

That's from the 2011 finals, right? There's no denying that LeBron choked in that series but his playoff performances since have been elite, no? 2014 is iffy as he did some of his scoring in garbage time but it's not like Miami had any shot of winning against SA that year (at least in my eyes going into the finals).
