The thing is, a lot of people aren't even saying he's not the best player.. they're simply saying that his choking is inexcusable and indefensible, and even at that the Lebron stans have to argue. How can any honestly deny that at this point?
LeBron, Wade and Chris Bosh combined to shoot 3-for-8 in the fourth quarter and then went 0-for-7 in OT. The only Miami player to score during the extra session was Mario Chalmers.
In fact, let's break down the many fails in Miami's fourth quarter fail bucket:
With 5:48 left and the Heat trailing 80-78, LeBron bricks one of two free throws.
With 5:16 left and the Heat trailing 80-79, Wade clanks a 20-footer.
With 4:54 left and the Heat trailing 80-79, Wade misses one of two foul shots.
With 3:40 left and the Heat trailing 83-82, Bosh misses from seven feet.
With 3:13 left and the Heat trailing 83-82, Bosh is called for traveling.
With 2:44 left and the Heat trailing 83-82, LeBron misses a layup.
With 2:15 left and the Heat trailing 83-82, LeBron commits an offensive foul.
With 2:00 left and the Heat trailing 83-82, Bosh goes 1-for-2 at the line.
With 1:21 left and the game tied at 83-83, LeBron goes 1-for-2 from the line.
With 33 seconds left and the Heat leading 84-83, LeBron misses a 20-footer.
With 16 seconds left and the Heat trailing 86-85, LeBron goes 1-for-2 at the line.
With 05 seconds left and the Heat trailing 86-85, LeBron goes 1-for-2 at the line.
And now the overtime "offense":
Wade missed jumper.
LeBron missed seven-footer.
LeBron turnover.
LeBron missed nine-footer.
Chalmers missed three-pointer.
LeBron missed layup.
Wade missed three-poitner.
Chalmers made three-pointer.
Bosh missed four-footer (blocked by DeAndre Jordan)
Chalmers missed three-pointer.
Dwyane Wade missed three-pointer.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, the cHeat rank second-worst in the category of Lowest FGP With Less Than 24 Seconds Left And the Score Within Three (35.7 percent). They rank ahead of only the T-Wolves (33.3 percent) and worse than the Bucks (36.4), Clippers (37.0) and Rockets (37.5).

LeBron is the best player in the league, but give me KD if I'm starting a squad. I couldn't believe how bad he choked at the free throw line last night. He lost the game alone at the line, no matter how bad Wade was.
I wasn't implying that it wasn't impressive; I just found it surprising for him and assumed he'd had more.
a player of his caliber on a team that good should never be satisfied with losing. IMO they should hang there heads for every game they dont win by more than 20 i know that is a little ridiculous but that is the type of attitude they need to have.
