Lebron has made the right play so many times but the team ends up losing the game because a 3rd wheel like Green choked. Kobe and MJ was taking the last shot, even if it was a bad shot. Everybody in the building knows they are taking the last shot. They are telling their teammates to give me the damn ball and get out of my way. That’s where I think Lebron just doesn’t have that killer gene. He is a team first, people pleaser and gains excitement seeing Irving or AD make the final shot as much as himself. I also think he’s had a history of missing foul shots in crunch time, so he doesn’t want to create contact in the clutch. As a Cavs fan it pissed me off seeing him defer so many times. You’re the best player on the team. Take the shot and let the chips fall. If it was me, I’m not putting the game in the hands of Danny Green. Screw that. But I’m also no Lebron James, so while I criticize, I can’t claim to really know any better.
