Its been decided.............Lebron IS clutch! Deal with it.

I would love to read this board in a Lakers-no-playoffs, NBA Finals 2008 Suns vs. Cavs scenario. Damn, that would be entertaining as hell.

^^So tell me something, what's YOUR point? My point is that his performance was great, but still not Jordanesque or nearly as amazing as you guys made it out to be...Jordan woulda been HAMMERED by 5 players driving into the lane like that against the 80's Detroit teams.

Ok, lets pretend i agree with you.  Basically, what you are then saying is no performance in the past 5-6 years is worthy of being considered "Jordanesque" because defense is now so damn soft.  D-Wade in the finals last year, Kobe versus the Raps, etc, none of these performances are historics because defense is so weak now,  right? 

This ain't the 80's, but the fact is this:  Its been a LONG TIME since anyone has dominated the end of a game like that.  29 of 30???  In the 4th and Overtimes?  WHo else has dominated the end of a game like this?  I don't care if it was single coverage, no coverage, etc, the fact is he scored 25 straight points, each shot hugely clutch as any of those missing could've meant the Cavs lose. 

Dude, LeBron shot 25 straight points for the Cavs because he shot ALL of their shots. He was a man on a mission, out to prove a point and Detroit allowed him with single coverage. They didn't even double him! I give him props, but does this make him an all-time great? Hell no. Is he one of the best in the game today? Easily...If LeBron wins this series, that could really change my opinion on him. I can't go from considering him a choker to clutch in the span of 1 game though. There's a lot more to prove...PeACe

You keep changing your mind...

95% of his shots were dunks or layups.

You get punked, so...

I meant the crunch time shots.

Get over yourself.

You're a moron if you can't see that most of his shots in crunch-time were dunks and layups...I gave LeBron his props, get over ME.

It's never going to happen, but I'd go in exile from dubcc for a couple months.

Who's the moron?  Read the play-by-play.  I already posted the numbers for you to read.  Idiot.  Plain and simple.  Idiot.

I wont even get into free throws...

It's obvious that he was most succesful going to the hoop..He made some jumpers, but were they tough shots or were they poorly conested? LeBron did a great job, don't get me wrong... I was obviously exaggerating with the 95% (wasn't really sitting there with a calculator), but what won it for him was taking it to the rack, not his clutch play against a team playing him at its best...PeACe

[Fuck Your Existence]

LBJ has all the makings of a legend and last night will go down in history as a historic night(individually). Why Kobe came up i dont know,however its still Kobe>LBJ and there will be room for argument if James keeps playing the way he is now, especially if he leads the under powered Cavs to a championship.

edit: although im amazed, NIK wasnt actually the one who brought Bryant into the equation...

[thisoneguy360]

Lebron James played a great game, he's a great player with a huge future ahead of him. He's not Kobe bryant though. I'll leave it at that

["THE" MoSav]

He had a great game...Don't get ahead of yourself though. Dude still missed a grip of clutch shots and coulda closed it out in the 4th with free throws. Too early to call him clutch. I still think Detroit takes the next 2, like last year.

this is a way different bron bron then last year...

[PLANT]

NIK, you are the biggest dummy on dubcc.  this thread is hilarious.  I cant even get into it with you anymore becuase I cant  take your comments seriously. 

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

^^LOL@"biggest dummy"...From the same guy who revived "dork". STFU, Urkle Canada...It's obvious that LeBron still has a lot to improve/prove...Make some points and MAYBE I'll think about taking your comments seriously. As of now, you're just another cancer to the thread...PeACe

[Juronimo]

If Lebron drags Cleveland to the finals, you will have to mention him in the same name as Kobe.

["THE" MoSav]

whats funny is Cleveland wouldnt have beat the 8th seed in the west

[Antonio_]

Props to LeBron. Like teecee said, he has answered the critics, so i'll give him props for his amazing performance. I promise if he brings his team to the Finals, i'll start to consider him an elite player for muthafucking real (and my list is extremely short, just to let you know).
