    He had a triple double. You're absolutely r****ded without a doubt. I'm legitimately impressed you know how to use a computer.

    Because he missed. Both of them pretty badly with nobody closing out on him.

    There is no such thing as a good turnover. That's why its called a turnover. Ginobli also had a bad finish with his turnovers.

    It seems to me that the only way you can be clutch is if you hit the game winning shot or something.

    Anything else you do good outside of that is irrelevant or something, only hitting the big shot matters the most.

    It should be mentioned that Lebron also checked Parker for most of the clutch time tonight too...

    There is not one basketball coach in the world worth his salt that calls a bad shot a bad shot because the player missed it. Not one.

    You'd be right but if the other guy doesn't catch the ball or isn't paying attention it's not entirely the passer's fault. I don't know what was the plan but Lebron definitely threw a lob that Bosh didn't jump for.

    The other TO was all Lebron's fault and seemed of him getting desperate trying to bull his way into the paint, realize nothing was there, and try a tough pass.

    Still, those two TOs still don't get to the heart of the matter that you are ignoring. Had Lebron not played the way he did in the 4th is team loses. Had he not made that big three the team also loses.

    Well, don't get upset or anything with my opinion. Its just that... an opinion.

    By the way, we ARE talking about a VERY high standard here. I mean we are comparing Lebron to Jordan, Magic, Isiah, Bird, Hakeem. Pretty lofty company even if he doesn't (yet) have the signature moments they did. Maybe he will someday. Maybe for you he already has. I just base my opinion on what I've watched as a fan for 40 years.

    LeBron's game 6 against Boston is a top-5 individual playoff moment. He had as much pressure going into that game as anyone has had in any game, and he delivered an all-time great performance. Anyone denying this is strictly hating on the guy.

    He didn't miss them. He BRICKED them. So badly the rebound bounced off of Leonards hands right to Miller on the first one. I think it hit the side of the rim barely.

    I'm comparing Lebron to Lebron. No one else. He put the team on his back in the 4th quarter, hit a big shot, was the main reason his team won tonight.

    If Lebron wins this championship and gets a finals MVP opinions be damned, he'd have accomplished more to be up there with those players you named outside of Jordan accomplishment wise.

    Don't be ridiculous. Its not a top 5 moment in NBA playoff history.

    It might be in the top 5 for this decade but beyond that is just silly.

    Now he bricked it and that makes it a bad shot? So he should have passed it then?

    Not sure what he should have done in that situation?

    I'm sorry, you don't make every shot you take. That's just the truth of it.

    Also some of the guys that have the best clutch percentage when it comes to those shots never make it this far...like Arenas at one point and Melo...because their team isn't even close to getting to this point...

    In terms of a great performance under pressure, it is most certainly a top 5 moment in NBA playoff history. LeBron was at that point where people sincerely questioned if he could win due to many failures with the (admittedly crappy) Cavs and the choke the year before, and losing to Boston here would have been devastating to his legacy. And he came through with a game for the ages, basically singlehandedly winning the game on the road against a very tough team.

    Name 5 better.

    Easily top 5. Probably top 3 with the pressure and past hauntings in the garden.

    LOL. I'm taking this outside this Lebron thread to see what the general clutchfan population thinks.
