If this were a year ago & Lebron passes up a game winner...

...opting to kick the ball out for his teammate to hit an open three, people would be killing him.

Amazing what one ship and quality teammates suddenly make that pass look like a sound decision......which it always was before the ship & Ray Allen joining the Heat.

C'mon, there' s a big difference between passing to Haslem for an open jumper (which was still the smart play being he was double teamed) and passing to the best shooter in NBA history for an open 3.

Man please. Getting the ball out to the open man will always be a better option than trying to shoot over three defenders.

People bytched when he did the same thing in Cleveland.

You right I just dont think anybody can complain when your passing it to Ray Allen

I'm glad he hasn't changed his game looking to be that "One shining moment" ass niqqa at the end of every game. I always felt that pass was the sound decision.

There is a difference when he's passing the ball to one of the greatest shooters of all time.

Youre reaching with this one.

So if he passed the ball to some garden variety 3 point shooter, it's somehow a bad decision?



In basketball life, you should ONLY pass the ball at the end of games to the greatest 3 point shooter of all time....

Agree and disagree. Passing to Larry Hughes - an atrocious 3 point shooter - when you have a lane and some time to create is not the same in any way, shape, or form as passing to one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA.

I didn't see the time to create when Bron would have three players draped on him.

It will always be the right decision. It's a better look with Hughes taking that shot than Bron trying to play one on three.

I don't know man. I'd prefer a wide open jump shot from an NBA guard (pretty much ANY NBA guard not named Rondo) over a contested shot against two or three defenders.

Simply untrue. Unfathomably untrue. Part of basketball IQ and passing is putting the ball not just in an open man's hands, but in the hands of an open man who is in the best position to be effective. LeBron is one of the greatest players of all time, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pretend this nikka never made a bytch ass decision and that he always passed to open men because 3 players draped on him. That's complete and utter revisionist spin, and I'd say that it's amazing what a ring can do for the spin in both directions.

Sometimes open players are open for a reason. Hitting the open man is not alwyas the right decision. To say so is ludicrous.

There are far too many guards with broke ass Js for me to believe this. And passing to a player who shoots between 25% and 30% from 3 is absolutely, positively, and simply NOT a better play than the best player in the NBA going to the basket or creating a relatively open, closer J for himself.

Not every end-of-game pass Bron has made has been the result of a fukking quadruple team. That's some disgusting ass revision for a player who is so good he doesn't need that kind of propaganda. Bron made plenty of passive, bytch ass, counterintuitive decisions in late-game situations over the years, and I have nothing invested in criticizing the homie. I don't do the stan thing for any player unless I'm joking about Derek Jeter or being sincere about Don Mattingly, Charles Barkley (the player not the announcer), and Dan Marino.

This would be like me seeing a thread after Kobe hit an open 10 footer at the buzzer that said "and people said he has questionable shot selection over the years. Well this proves otherwise!"
