This is bullshyt. The man has played in 287 playoff games, whereas the GOAT played in 179 playoff games, that's a 108 differential.
Bron has been to 10 NBA Finals and has ZERO game winning buzzer beaters. And zero series ending buzzer beaters in 287 appearances.

Career buzzer beaters
Playoff series ending buzzer beaters
It should come as no surprise that the all-time buzzer-beater king is Jordan. His shots were all jumpers, ranging from
14 feet (
’95 in Atlanta) to
26 feet (
’92 vs. Detroit).
6 were in the regular season (trailing only Kobe and Johnson), and
3 were in the playoffs (trailing only LeBron).
2 of those
3 even ended the series.
7 were unassisted, which is tied for the most with Johnson. Jordan also averaged
34.4 points per game in the
9 games he won at the horn, which is the highest average among the
11 players with
5+ buzzer-beaters (beating LeBron by a fraction).
LeBron is obviously a legendary player, and he's a legendary player who appeared in nearly 300 playoff games. But that doesn't mean he's the most clutch, he's not even close to being the most clutch. What shots in the playoffs has he made that truly resonate? Again, ZERO game winners in 10 Finals appearances.
Cut it out.
