Let's shed some more light on the LeBron/Kobe "clutch shot" situation. Our research here at M.Y.O.S. has been hard at work. We have found that LeBron James in the last four seasons has five game winning shots in the playoffs.
Here they are:
2006 game3 vs. Washington w/5seconds left
2006 game5 vs. Washington w/0.9 seconds left
2007 game5 vs. Detroit w/ 2.2 seconds left
2008 East Finals vs. Washington 2 seconds left
2009 East Finals vs. Orlando buzzer beater
Some here have tried to make the point that LeBron has made only one "clutch shot" (vs. Orlando, 2009). As we have shown, he has won five playoff games in the closing seconds. According to a Kobe Bryant devoted website (we are currently working to confirm this) Bryant has made a total of five playoff game winners in his career.
Now, if you still want Kobe to take "the shot" for you it is understandable, however, to say that James has not been up to par with him in this department is just not accurate.

Thank You. Though I am sure some here will remain unburdened by the facts.
