You lost if you were expecting one of the most anti-clutch players of this generation to knock down some free throws. It’s been well established he is an top athlete not a top baller.

Yup. And this is why none of the greats respect him. LeBron will always be viewed as inferior to Kobe and Jordan for this very reason. He's simply not on the same skill level as Kobe and Jordan. And chocking in clutch situations is clear evidence of it.

nikkas talking about he has to make those free throws like he can magically become Steph at the line when he wants to or something. Free throws are his weakness and it always has been. It is what it is. nikkas be watching to much Skip Bayless. If nikkas could make shots anytime they wanted to I'm sure he would choose to make them all every night.

Then shut the fukk up talking bout him being the GOAT. You can't be the best if you have such a critical weakness. The inability to hit free throws in the clutch is not the sign of a guy who is great at all.

Kobe and Jordan had NO WEAKNESSES. The fact you readily admit LeBron has such a critical weakness proves he's simply not on the same level as the true GOATs Kobe and Jordan.

Bron haters have to make up new statistics that literally no one has ever quoted in order to justify their obsession with Bron.

Lebron has 197 points in the clutch this year (leads the NBA by nearly 30) and is shooting 56% in the clutch (better than anyone else in the top 10) and 65% from the line in the clutch (which sucks, but is the exact same as #2 Westbrook and unlike Westbrook, is practically the same as what he shoots the rest of the game). Lebron is also 4th in the NBA in clutch rebounds, 3rd in clutch assists, and top-20 in clutch steals and clutch blocks.

All that combines to Lebron's teams being +87 in the clutch, dominating over anyone else. He literally scores more in the clutch than anyone, at a higher percentage than any other high-volume scorer, while his team does better than anyone.

He's having the best clutch season in the NBA this year and you can't touch him on that, so you have to make up random cherry-picked stats that include free throws he missed on purpose to desperately try to justify Skip Bayless narratives.


Edit: Not to mention that this is the regular season, as if Lebron hasn't made one gigantic shot after another in the playoffs, including the sealing free throw with 10 seconds left in Game 7 of the NBA Finals (even after landing on his wrist). But no, the haters leap from "regular season doesn't matter" to "some random cherry-picked regular season stat from a single season is THE PROOF!"

Breh...3 rings...you're the CHOSEN ONE and you end up with less rings than Manu Ginobili??

He's underachieved. With his athletic gifts, he ought to have at least 7 rings by now.

And it's got nothing to do with him needing better players around. He's played with plenty of talent. He just refuses to play in any other way other than Bron Ball.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Exactly.

The thing I find most hilarious is we go through this same song and dance every year. LeBron puts up huge stats. He runs through the weak Eastern Conference. His stans start saying he's better than Jordan. Then the finals arrive, he chokes against whoever comes outta the west in embarrassing fashion. All that Jordan talk dies away as he racks up another finals loss. Next season starts. Rinse and Repeat.

You would LeBron and his stans would realize doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is INSANE. But yet, every year the persist. Thinking his empty stats in the regular season actually mean something.

LeBron James = Peyton Manning of the NBA

You're only going to go as far as your team takes you. Stop watching so much Skip Bayless bruh. Basketball is a team sport and even if you're the best player, if the other team has a better squad they will win. Outside of the finals vs Dallas, he never was on a superior team and "choked" away the game.

More like you need to learn more about basketball. LeBron James is the main reason his teams are not favored in those matchups against Western Conference teams in the Finals. LeBron deliberately builds teams that will help him rack up stats rather than putting together a team that can win the championship.

LeBron is not a good outside shooter. He likes to drive the ball into the paint. He also likes his assists. He likes to handle the ball a lot. So all his teams are filled with shooters that can knock down 3s to space the floor for his drives. He never has any post players (because they clog the paint and they don't get you assists like 3-point shooters do). He's also never wanted a real PG on his team that takes the ball out of his hands.

LeBron James is the reason his teams always lose in the finals. He creates teams that are good for his personal stats but not good to win championships.

Bron is one of the most successful player's in the league but somehow you're acting like his career is a complete failure. I can't take you serious.

Give his body and athleticism to Kobe or Jordan and they win 8-10 NBA titles.

LeBron is like Shaq. He's underachieved given his God-given gifts.

He should have accomplished a lot more than he's accomplished.

Look at this desperation. We all know he's a choke artist. No amount of spin is gonna save you from this one. Just read this and weep:

at being the worst in the clutch over the last 20 years.

 

[TheNig]

Corny cacs gonna do corny shyt

Bruh... He missed those FTs. Anyone else gets shyt on for that. He should get shyt on too.

 

[dh86]

Stop fukking this forum up with this shyt

 

[TheNig]

Man yall pop off when Lebron misses in the clutch.

But when he does make clutch shots yall are either

A. No where to be found
B. Goal post moving (nitpicking, he was statpadding, it's against this team, but but but 3-5 in the Finals)
C. Just being hating ass nikkas incapable of giving props

There's a thread right below this one about his dunk on Ersan Ilyasova. Don't get me wrong, I watched the game and that dunk was but let's keep itba hunnid. If fans can make a thread about a dunk then let nikkas party off those FT misses. Gotta have balance bruh.

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

Over a 15 year career, most players improve their weaknesses. Not Bron tho. Breh is petrified at the line. Nick Anderson at the line.

75% as a rookie
67% last year
70% this year

Doing things never before seen from a year 15 player

 

[Ben.]

Call the greatest clutch player since Jordan un clutch brehs, LBJ playoff clutch stats shyt on everyone else's and we still going through this

He is pretty shaky FT shooter in the clutch tho, so I guess you fakkit Bron haters can have that

 

[McPiff]

Bruh... He missed those FTs. Anyone else gets shyt on for that. He should get shyt on too.

Oh but im not even defending the choke job. Just stating that OP is a corny ass cac


And its funny to see dudes use the same espn stats that they usually dismiss when it doesnt fit their narrative

True but we still call out hypocrisy

 

[TheNig]

True but we still call out hypocrisy

How is it hypocrisy? If he hits them shyts, what can nikkas say?

How you gone be in here barking on nikkas if he makes the shot?
