Lebrons passing late

Over the next few weeks Lebron James has opted to pass the ball in two game winning situations. Friday night he dishes it to Haslem and passed it to a spot with three west players to D Wade that resulted in a TO. Should Lebron take the shots? Is there a problem with him passing?

My opinion: I have no problem with the pass vs the Jazz. I do in the all star game. He was against Kobe Bryant one on one an threw it in to "triple coverage" instead. Against the jazz he was triple teamed and dished it to a wide open Haslem.

Are you talking about that perfectly thrown pass that Wade bobbled out of bounds?

This is a non issue. It makes sense to pass when your double or triple teamed

Exactly. The critics are being ignorant.

If he passes, he's being to passive. If he takes on the double, he's selfish. The guy can't win.

Uh no. In the all star game he threw it directly into a bunch of west players for a TO

I ask because it the hot topic and it seems this forum barely gets the headlines in. I might start an "end of the week headline" thread. I enjoy talking about all sports not just UT.

It's so blown out of proportion. I don't have anything against Lebron and I'm not a fan of his. But if Kobe did the same thing, he would be called a "team player". It's comical how everyone tries to find any flaw with Lebron.

Lebron is 5 x the distributor Kobe is and is better than MJ was. People want him to take their approach to crunch time, but that's not his game. He tries to avoid forcing shots much more than most superstars.

What is the definition of anti-clutch?

You need to throw an "fyp" in there. It's dishonest to misquote me.
