Just stop. I have always been neutral towards Lebron. Neither hate him or love him. I criticized him for his performance in the Finals earlier and said that he if he doesnt show up for the last two games he will have to answer a lot of questions. And then he leads a massive comeback in game 6 and then tonight's performance.......one in which he used the ONE part of his game for which he has always been criticized. For the first 5 games you could look at him and tell he didnt trust his own jump-shots. And then to overcome his own hesitation and to win game 7 of an NBA Finals on long jumpers??! That is clutch my firend. That is the definition of CLUTCH. If you dont love that, you dont love NBA basketball.
good redemption by ray allen of lebrons legacy. it's amazing one shot in space and time can do that and that was that shot by allen. Good game by lebron for not finally choking when it mattered. I will eat some crow but he is not Tier 1. He is darn good (been saying this the whole time) and good for him but not tier 1 legend. If he can go on and play like he did tonight without any end of game turnover fests like game 6 he can still be tier 1...but making it past and into top 10 of names like magic wilt kareem russell bird jordan shaq olajuwon thomas robertson dr j barkley will be tough good show savior ray allen and good on lebron.
You are living in the past man. This is as good of a performance under pressure as any legend, "tier 1" or otherwise. You should try to appreciate greatness while you have a chance to watch it, because it'll be gone soon.
under pressure? you have to thank ray allen for that one...the savior came down to ray allen. Not lebron. why is that so hard to accept? Good for lebron but if it weren't for another player, lebrons choke job would have been his legacy. He redeemed himself game 7 and hooray. So the past doesn't count? living in the past to mention names like jordan and jabbar? Helen of troy didn't look good? she doesnt count? Is this a bell curve based on most recent stats mattering more somehow. So where does the 4 turnovers and ray allen fit in the recent chain of events? AGAIN.. he is a darn good player. Legend? top 10? he's inching closer but he still has to somehow pass duncan barkley oscar robertson just to get into top 10? It's already too late to pass magic bird olajuwon jordan. But hey that's just me and his game 6 TO performance as fact with ray allen saving him. not sure how to get around that.
Seriously, this thread make da thread starter look more and more r****ded every year . LOCK IT UP MODS.
Are you saying this knowing that Ray Allen is the greatest 3 point shooter in the history of the NBA? He has the most 3s ever and is at the top in %. So, the greatest player at a task does that task in a game and that is a problem? Why is lebron's rep hurt because one of his supporting players does what he is suppose to do. That is why they signed Allen. What you are saying is that if Lebron isn't doing it all himself then he owes everything to other players. Also, how old are you? Not insinuating that you sound young and dumb. Not at all. Just honestly would like to know how old you are. People would respect you if you just owned it. Just own it. It's not big deal about being wrong. Everyone on this board is wrong at some point. It's when you just don't own up to it that you look like you just might be too stupid to realize the mistake.
