Wait, did he just go there???








ONE shot is your "eye test and facts"???
He's basically begging me to post it again, right?
2004, attempts first game-winner in just
5th NBA game, makes first game-winner by getting a steal and layup with 16 sec left against the Nets to cap off a 41-6-13 game...at the age of 19.
2005, hits his first game-tying three, right over prime Artest with just 1.7 sec left in regulation in the season opener (can't find video).
Pacers vs. Cavaliers - Game Recap - November 4, 2004 - ESPN
2006, the first player in history to hit multiple game-winners in his very first series right out of the gate.
2007, scores 29 of the last 30 points in overtime in the decisive ECF game, including the game-tying shot in regulation and the game-winning shot in overtime.
2008, hits 7 game-tying or game-winning shots and duels Paul Pierce to the end of Game 7, scoring 45 against a stacked title team with almost no support.
2009, hits that huge fadeaway three to win Game 2 of the ECF against Orlando, and was an inch from nailing back-to-back threes to take Game 4 as well.
2010, one of his better years with four game-winning/game-tying shots, but none of them were particularly special so I'll throw up his buzzer-beater from 2009 instead:
2011, dominates every 4th quarter against Chicago in the playoffs, including the elimination game where he scored the final 10 points while holding Rose to 1-10 shooting to come back and win.
2012, the title run (with both Bosh and Wade hurting) goes without saying, especially Game 6 against Boston
2013, an even more impressive title run, especially the huge shots in Game 1 against Indiana, and Game 6 and Game 7 against San Antonio.
2014, drains that classic buzzer-beater three against the Warriors.
2015, when he not only called his own number to make that enormous game-winner in the ECSF against the Bulls, but took pretty much EVERY damn shot against the Warriors in the Finals while his entire team was in the ER.
2016, scores 9 of the final 12 points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals and had the clutchest block in NBA history to cap off the greatest 3-game stretch in Finals history
2017, hit big threes against the Bucks and the Wizards to win games.
I mean, you're right, other than hitting 42 game-tying or game-winning shots over the course of his career (including 8 in the playoffs > Kobe's 7), and having the best clutch time stats in the NBA nearly every year, he's sure "never been that guy in the clutch".
