Oh shyt, I'm not going to get responses from Cladyclad anymore, how will I get insight on the game now?
If i wanted to hype up LeBron then I'd buy all into clutch. He's got the most playoff points ever, the most playoff buzzer-beaters, the most playoff game-winners, the highest Game 7 scoring average ever, the highest elimination game scoring average ever, and is on pace for the most regular season game-winners ever. And in every one of those numbers (plus his shooting % on game-winning shots both regular season and playoffs) he destroys Kobe.
Not to mention he's got more classic games in clutch situations than everyone else in the 21st century combined. Game 5 against Detroit, Game 4 against Indiana, Game 6 against Boston, Game 7 against San Antonio, Game 4 against Chicago, Games 5-6-7 against Golden State, Game 7 against Indiana, Game 6 and 7 against Boston...while your hero Kobe has, what, hitting two jumpers with a lead when already up 2-1 in the series 18 years ago?
And the existence of "clutch" is hotly debated, but claiming that only a Bron fan would dispute it is just ignorant:
