Why didnt Lebron shoot the ball for the win last night?

[whitemamba]

He was the leading scorer, basically carrying the heat all night. Dont superstars and great players demand the ball when the game is on the line? No one can gaurd his 2 dribble step back, and he has improved it tbh.. But he is still a mental midget, against good teams, and big games, he shrinks imo.

discuss.

very nice quick pass to wide open Bosh.

Excellent play given the Heat/LeBron had only 1.9 seconds to work with.

[JoeTait75]

Nine times out of ten LeBron will make the correct basketball play in that situation. If that play involves him taking the shot, he'll take it. If it involves getting the ball to an open teammate, he'll do that. It's the way he's always played the game.

it can be done in .4, lebron could of easily could of taken the shot.

Ok with that move. He has no problem to pass it to an open teammate...

Exactly. He's never really been concerned with the notion that the star/team leader needs to take the last shot because MJ always did it. The Spurs have routinely relied on role players (Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, Michael Finley, Gary Neal, etc.) to take the game winning shot.

The only times I've criticized him in game-winning situations is when he passes up an open look.

jodelo my nigga, he was on fire, 11-19 38 points, big game on the line, it was his moment? why pass? no one else was doing anything.

That mentality is the reason Lebron has 2 rings instead of 3 tbh :lol

same shit is bitch ass does all the time....he would rather someone else look bad than to take a last second shot...he trying to play for high percentages...don't worry I got another prediction about him coming soon....remember I was right the last time I predicted he'd get hurt

Just think, if Parker passed as much, the Spurs would have 6 titles, and likely be undefeated this season, they haven so much 3 point shooting talent...

[Venti Quattro]

Watched the clip of the play about 12-15 times and LeBron made the right play with 2 seconds to go. He didn't have time to explore his options. He went with the first option and threw it to an open Bosh, who regularly makes that shot. Hibbert contested the shot well

In all honesty, LeVagina needs to ice that game, show me why your the best player in the world, demand the ball when a big games on the line, and close the deal. He shrinks though, defers to others (Ray Allen :lol) and people say "its the right basketball play." No way you see MJ, Bird, Kobe pass those kinds of shots up. Lebron is scared of the media, hes scarred after that choke in the finals.
