Hmm, you sure about that? That MJ is clutcher than LeBron?

Lol, yeah, I'm sure. Watched him end the hopes of dozens of teams, whether he shot it or he created the perfect shot for a teammate too many times to count. he may not have been the greatest 3-point shooter, but he always drew the foul, scored the bucket or created the perfect shot for someone else.

leBrn, on the other hand, managed to get the steal in the previous game, but failed to score. MJ would've gotten the steal, drawn the foul and scored the bucket.

And in the last game, LeBron couldn't get the game-tying shot off, where MJ definitely would've scored that bucket, and drawn the foul for the win.


It's just what he did, time after time.

Le Bron is a great player; one of the very best to ever do it. But he's obviously not the assassin that MJ was. Not a knock on him as much just a statement of fact.
