:heh:

Game tying or winning shots in final 10 seconds, post season careers:

MJ: 7-15 (47%)

Bron: 6-14 (43%)

Kobe: 5-22 (23%)

But I'm sure Kobe's percentage is nothing more than an ode to MJ's jersey number.

WE GOTTA STOP INCLUDING THE 3 OR 4 LAYUPS DUDE MADE.

Why? Didnt they win games?

:comeon: the reason people don't trust Bron with the last shot is because he can't make jumpers.....and at the end of games you'll rarely get layups

most of Bron's game winners came on busted plays that results in layups like that one against the Pacers in game 1 last year.

something stats will never show you

:leostare: the nikka has hit jumpers in the clutch as well as layups. If the layup is there u take it instead of shooting a 20 ft fall away jumper over 3 defenders

only jumper I can remember is that 3 against Orlando in 09

refresh my memory on these other clutch playoff jumpers

:ld: He never hit clutch playoff jumpers vs Chicago, Boston, or Detroit in his Cleveland days? Even if he didnt that says alot about him if he can get to the rack so often in crunch time :yeshrug:

It's more about Kobe's willingness to take the last shot

If you told me who do I want taking the last shot between Lebron and Kobe, I would say Lebron all day.

If you ask me, "whose more confident to take the last shot vs passing to a team mate" it would be Kobe.

But Lebron would be the guy I'd force to take the last shot, not doubt about it. because he can get to the rim at will! Hell, I might have to give him the nod over Jordan as well especially with Lebrons new found 3 point shooting...it's a tough call.

problem with that is once he gets fouled he's only a 75% free throw shooter

the reason Bron doesn't get to the rim at the end of games and instead takes those ackward off-balance jumpers is cause he's scared to take pressure free throws.....he has a history of missing them in the final minutes of a close game......having to hit 2 FTs with no time on the clock in a playoff game to tie would be incredible pressure and he seems to run away from that

He can't make jumpers yet that's what he did in game 7 to clinch the NBA finals.
