I'll give you that, it was amazing. While exciting, it is USUALLY a foolish way to play basketball. Look up studies regarding guys like Kobe Bryant, who many people regard as "clutch", and it can be proven that he routinely hurts his team by playing hero ball down the stretch of games, going one on one and jacking up a forced shot instead of running offense, moving the ball, and getting the ball the open man, regardless of who it is. This is something Lebron doesn't mind doing, he doesn't care if he gets the last shot, he doesn't care how it's done, he just wants the win the game. It's quite logical, that if you get double teamed, or are in a position for a bad shot you get rid of it rather than be prideful and try to just "be the man" or the "alpha dog". Lebron is the most efficient player in basketball, it's one of the reasons his win shares is so high. In that sense, Lebron doesn't have an ego.
