    More Clutch: Lebron James Or Luke Walton

    Everyone always has exaggerated comparisons like Lebron VS Kobe or Lebron VS Jordan. It's time for a more realistic one.

    Scientists everywhere agree these guys are statistical mirrors if you compare heart in the 4th quarter of any finals game they've played in. Or are they? I believe the heat would of lost the finals even if they had Luke Walton instead of Lebron James, but would they have been better? Worse? I'm only referring to playing in the 4th quarter of the finals, since that's when Luke and Lebron are in the highest pressure games.

    If you had to play 1 quarter, with your life on the line, who would you rather have: Derek Fisher or Lebron James?

    Fisher without thinking twice. Even if he is 57.

    Sounds like he's pretty clutch at the negotiating tables

    the end result: During his 8 year career, Lebron James is 5/12 or 47% (or in other words, ONLY 2 LESS MAKES THEN KOBE IN 13 LESS ATTEMPTS!)


    Your thread should be callled.... Lebron is more clutch in a high pressure situation with the game on the line then kobe is

    This is a bout Luke Walton and Lebron, not kobe. And it's about how they perform in the 4th quarter of the finals. Thanks for the info though. If there is ever a Kobe Vs Lebron debate in this forum, which is unlikely, we can discuss it there.

    Cool story dlunc....Michael Jordan has missed 26 game winning shots in his career, in the final seconds of a game. I only counted 25 on your list for Kobe. Does that mean Kobe is more clutch?

    Lebron statistically is not very clutch, but neither is Kobe.
