More Clutch: Lebron James Or Luke Walton

[darkhat]

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.

Walton would make his FT's

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.

waltons getting like 11 mill sitting on the bench, walton isn't clutch anything

Sounds like he's pretty clutch at the negotiating tables

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.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Dlunc how accurate is that list? Kobe made a game winner in like 03 i believe one of his top 3 game winners. Double OT buzzer beater over ruben patterson last game of season.

[dlunc3]

i dont think there is one, so i thought it would be a good place to post that... thanks

that list is postseason only, bc that is where people hate on lebron so much for some reason

Walton.....all day. No question about it. Brains. Mamma not boning teammates. Etc.

[SportsPedagogy]

Is this with the game on the line or does it include games where they are up or down big ?

[edawg]

More like Lebron vs Scalabrine. BTW give me Scalabrine

[Tree Rollins]

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?

[jjgold]

Hard to compare..have to watch 4th qtrs as these guys do more even though they miss a lot of shots

Kobe was pretty awful tonight

[Hotdiggity11]

Lebron is good at being clutch when the game doesn't matter.

Go watch last year's Bulls and Celtics series.

Go watch last year's Bulls and Celtics series.

Go back and watch the finals.

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

[Sam Odom]

Kobe was pretty awful tonight
