In fact, in many cases, like Jordan or Kobe, the clutchness factor helps make them the best player in the NBA. There is almost no doubt that just based on physical ability, Lebron James is the best player in the game right now. Even if he did team up with two all-stars and become the villain of the NBA. Speaking of which, he seems to be reveling in that role...starting beef with Boobie Gibson because Gibson yelled that he was the King of Cleveland at his birthday? Come on man...check out the story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/news/story?id=6162858
On a slight side note, since when have Lebron and Wade become the Ambiguously Gay Duo? Please tell me someone else saw their gay little matching outfits during the post game conference...
A little disclaimer here: I really loved Lebron when he was on Cleveland, and I respected his decision to go to Miami, but the more and more I hear about him outside of the basketball court the more I dislike him. This could be the NBA trying to spin his image into the bad-guy role, but whatever they are doing, its working.
Now, back to his game. If Bron does not step up in the clutch or pass the ball to Eddie House in order to hit a game-winner:
Clearly Eddie House has the balls Lebron does not...but if Bron Bron can't do it, you have another guy on your team who has proven some clutchness:
Even Brad Miller knows that Dwyane Wade has some clutch ability. The Heat have lost game after game against good teams in the waning minutes. Instead of having Lebron James jacking up threes (which I have seen twice now in clutch situations) give the ball to Mr. Wade.
