Sure, it was just a regular season game against one of the worst teams in the league, but I still found it impressive how LeBron went to the free throw line and knocked down 6 straight clutch free throws to win the game. It was somethng that I hadn't seen in a long time, in terms of going back to the free throw line over and over again with the game on the line and making them with that much confidence. He looked about as calm as a person could like while shooting them too, something to keep note of. What do you guys think? This caught me by surprise because I thought for sure he was gonna miss 2 or 3 out of the 6 free throws and choke like he's done time and time again in the past at the free throw line. And although there wasn't nearly as much pressure as there would be if there was a big game, there certainly was pressure because he had to be thinking to himself, "Alright, if I miss these, we lose to one of the worst teams and end up looking like idiots." Not saying there was a good amount of pressure, but it was existent nonetheless.

He's been "clutch"

FTs huh? Those shots people are supposed to make? The ones with no defense in your face? Like that line you stand on and shoot? Hmm. Cool.

No I'm not saying this is a big achievement, but I was just caught by surprise that he did something like this considering his clutch stuggles in the past. He had a recent 20-37 stretch from the free throw line and he kept missing free throws late in games and showing that the pressure of having the game on the line even in the regular season was getting to him, so that was just something that I found impressive.

If he doesn't make these FTs then everyone is on his **** for always sucking when it counts.

Just a loss-loss for him in THIS situtation.

This is the year Lebron gets his ring, which is about the same time when Jordan got his. (just a reference, not a comparison) Those who diss Lebron for winning because he has wade/bosh now forget, Jordan didn't get his till Pippin arrived, those 90's bull's teams was stocked with all-stars and hall of famers.

Percentage wise Lebron is just as clutch as Kobe, but for some reason all the hate goes to Lebron.

Kobe isn't a self proclaimed king. Kobe has championships, lebron doesn't. LeBron chokes in the 4th quarter, especially in the playoffs. Seriously, saying they are similar is a joke.

Kobe isn't a self proclaimed king. Kobe has championships, lebron doesn't. LeBron chokes in the 4th quarter, especially in the playoffs. Seriously, saying they are similar is a joke.

Also, percentage doesn't necessarily differentiate the two. We've seen LeBron in big situations like the finals last year where he pretty much doesn't take ANY shots in the 4th quarter, which percentage does not portray.
