Heat are down by 1, 3 seconds left

[spursfan1000]

Who takes the shot?

[Shastafarian]

The answer is what the entire NBA fears: It doesn't matter

[Trainwreck2100]

not bosh

[JamStone]

Better to have 2-3 options than 0 options.

[HarlemHeat37]

What a great problem to have :lol..

The other team will likely only have 1 defensive stopper, so you could go to the other guy..you could go to the guy with the best overall matchup..you could go to the guy that is hot that game..you could give it to either guy, and they're pretty much guaranteed to get an open look for a teammate if they pass it out..

[Cane]

Joey Crawford.

[InRareForm]

Derek Fisher!

[Jace]

Pretty obvious that Wade takes that shot..Lebron isn't a closer, Wade is

[DMX7]

David Stern?

[DazedAndConfused]

The more I think about Lebron's decision the more I'm impressed at the guy.

He either had no idea of how his legacy would be perceived or he just doesn't care and wants to win.

He will literally be ridiculed as Pippen 2.0 for the rest of his career.

[baseline bum]

Joel Anthony

[HarlemHeat37]

Statistically, Lebron has been arguably the clutchest player in the NBA for years, I don't know where the idea comes from that he isn't a closer..well, I do know where it comes from, the biased Al-Quobe media, but just saying..

Wade is clutch too, but he was actually horrible in clutch time situations last year, it was uncharacteristic of him..

It'll be worse than Pippen 2.0.

Pip didn't bail on his hometown team (close enough).

Look at how Magic's legacy was destroyed by playing with 2 Hall of Famers and tons of great role-players.

[Kevin Durant 35]

Who ever is open!

Yeah Pippen is a 2 time MVP and avereged 26 PPG 7 APG 7 RPG during his career. Oh yeah he also won 3 championships in high school and that aint all his achievments.

[badfish22]

Wade, obviously.

Did Pippen ever take the last shot from MJ?

[DPG21920]

This shtick is going to get old fast.

i didnt know Kevin Durant idolized Lebron. :p:

badfish..setting trends

[himat]

3/4 people on an ESPN poll said D Wade...if you guys care.

Honestly it doesn't matter all 3 guys could make a play, but if I had to choose I'd pick Wade.

[Chieflion]

LeBron James.

[himat]

Look at how Magic's legacy was destroyed by playing with 2 Hall of Famers and tons of great role-players.

It's different though...he didn't leave a team to join those guys. He was always a Laker.

See if LBJ stayed in Cleveland and somehow one of those guys (Wade, Bosh) very few people would be saying this.

His legacy isn't destroyed. He's still a fantastic talent. His chance to be the GOAT took a huge hit though.

[Josepatches_]

Wade, obviously.

Did Pippen ever take the last shot from MJ?

Kerr or Paxson

[MiamiHeat]

ZCiZ2cBQeuw

3:08 in the video, they answer this same question

[Darrin]

Who takes the shot?

Wade. James is good, not great, in that scenario. Bosh isn't great, either. Wade, on the other hand, has at least 12 game-winners in his back pocket.

[DJ Mbenga]

as long as this commentator is calling the game i dont care it will be amazing:

let's keep it in context...Magic straight to LA (win title as a rookie)...never abandoned his team to play for Bird, or MJ....your argument is total shit...but thanks for the smokescreen..:toast

"Coach... whatever coach draws for us"

[Jacob1983]

David Stern

[alchemist]

Pippen 3.0
:toast

Kobe = Pippen 2.0

[Jacob1983]

Pippen = 6 for 6 in Finals and not a rapist
Kobe = 5 for 7 in Finals, a rapist, and adulterer

[DazedAndConfused]

Kobe will never be compared to Pippen because he has won titles as the main man. He willfully forsake the possibility of more titles with Shaq because he wanted to be the unquestionable #1. Comparing Magic Johnson to Lebron is equally ludicrous. Magic was drafted by the Lakers, he had no say in what players came onto the team and he never left the Lakers to go join some super team of stars. Is Spur fan really this dumb?

Even with a team full of stars one player has to be the go-to guy in the clutch. Look at our recent Team USA, that man was Kobe. Look at the Celtics Big 3, that main is Pierce. I suspect Wade will assume that role as this new Miami team takes shape.

Yeah, until whomever DOES take the shot and misses--then all hell will break loose and they will second guess themselves.


They will be good at first, but they will not have depth and they will be scouted and weaknesses exposed and ultimately brought back down to earth and humbled. book it.

You shouldn't be talking after that beating we gave you. Until you win the big one keep your mouth shut.

[Mr Bones]

It wasn't a problem with Walt Frazier, Earl Monroe, and Willis Reed. It wasn't a problem with Kareem, Magic, and Worthy. It wasn't a problem with Duncan, Manu, and Tony.

If LeBron had somehow signed with the Lakers this summer, would Laker fans be saying, "oh no, what happens in the closing minutes of a close game?!" No. They'd say that they were unbeatable.

:lol If Lebron had signed with L.A., 99% of the responses from Laker fans would've been some 'haters gonna hate' gifs/pictures.

[DazedAndConfused]

As good as Lebron is, I'm glad we have Kobe instead of him.

Lebron epitomizes everything that is wrong with today's professional athletes. Say what you want about Kobe's personal life, but his work ethic is unquestionable and he is without a doubt a true student of the game. Lebron merely gets by with his freakish physical talents, if he put in 50% of the effort Kobe did he'd be unstoppable. He's too busy hyping his free agency decisions and marketing himself to care though.

wade

james will miss

when james does not get swepts in finals
james will not be refered to as not a closer

but he will always rember as a a quiter

[mattb_25]

Well thats an easy answer, Wade of course.. There's a reason that the media only shows ONE clip of James buzzer beaters, which is the one of him beating the Magic in the PO's that one time they almost got swept :sleep

[ducks]

wade missed more clutch shots last year carrying the load so much

he will be fresher and more deadly in the clutch this coming year

[fevertrees]

Obviously if the Heat are down by 1 with 3 seconds left that means none of the POWER TRIO are in the lineup tonight!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Wade.

[ffadicted]

Doesn't matter because the zone defense will destroy them

[MiamiHeat]

Here's a question.

How many games are going to end up with the Heat losing by 1 in the final seconds?

I doubt many.

[Zelophehad]

If they're smart they'll go with whichever player has the worse wing defender on him.
