just my .02 cents

The stats I showed above is how LeBron performed in games where within the last 5 minutes of the game, a team was leading by about 5-6 points. And the point is to shake off the criticism he has always had that he is not as good of a closer as a person of his talent level should be.
I haven't disputed that he was nails in the playoffs and finals last year. But people are trying to re-shape the dialogue to suggest he shook off criticism that he's clutch. He wasn't asked to be, and in games where he was, he was pretty so-so and sometimes really bad.
