Lebron is the most clutch playoff shooter in his era, if you go by actual numbers.
Lebron is the best Game 7 scorer in NBA history.
Lebron has some of the most iconic playoff performances (the 48 game against Detroit, the 45-15-5 elimination game against Boston, the 37-12-8 against San Antonio in Game 7) in the 21st century.
But yeah, Lebron only "chokes" in the playoffs.
Carried a team with Boobie Gibson as his co-star to the Finals, including an incredible 48-point game against Boston where he scored 25 straight in 4th/overtime.
Scored 45 in Game 7 against the NBA champ Celtics and barely lost with...I can't even remember...as his best teammate. Kobe faced the same team with a far better lineup and got blown out by 40 points to lose the series in 6.
Averaged 38-8-8 against Orlando, made a huge game-winner in game 2, and still lost because literally no one else on his team could guard anyone on Orlando.
Lebron looked FAR better against Orlando than Kobe did, but the Lakers had someone who could actully defend Dwight and the Cavs didn't.
Averaged 28-8-8 against a stacked Celtics team that took the Lakers to 7, and were a Perkins injury or a lucky MWP shot away from winning it all.
And he had a 27-19-10 game just one game after he supposedly "choked".
Dallas had a really good defensive game plan against Lebron, Lebron didn't know how to counter it, and he fell apart. Definitely his worst playoff performance, but it only came after he dominated Boston and Chicago in the playoffs, with that Bulls team one that a ton of people said was going to beat him.
Oh yeah, you conveniently skipped Lebron coming back from 3-2 down against the Celtics in one of the most lethal playoff performances ever, then destroying a healthy Durant-Westbrook-Harden-Ibaka Thunder team in just 5 games.
Lebron "choked" in a 32-10-11 game where he had 16 points and 4 assists in the 4th/overtime, including a 3pt with 20 seconds left that cut the lead to 2 and a jumper with 2 minutes left in overtime that was the last made shot of the game and gave the Cavs the lead for good. Ray's game-tying three was the ONLY shot in the last 10 minutes of the game that Lebron didn't score or assist.
And let's forget Lebron winning back-to-back game 7's, including the greatest scoring performance in a Game 7 in Finals history with his 37-12-8 finishing touch on the thing.
The only time in history that averaging 28-8-4 on 57%/52%/79% shooting splits will be referred to as "absolutely shut down".
That stat sounds made up. He shot 42% in the 4th quarter of the 5 games that weren't blowouts, and he put up double-digits in the 4th in every one of those games.
And outplayed by Curry? A rare moment when 26-6-4 and 0 Finals MVP votes is considering outplaying 36-13-9 and 4 Finals MVP votes.
You are consistently an awful poster.
