@@HintedImage They were gonna cover Bron regardless….same with any of the go-to guys on any team in that situation. You have to take being beaten by a role player in that situation. The pressure is still on Lebron because no matter who he passes to, if they miss, Lebron takes the blame for not taking the shot, especially back then when he was getting criticized for being TOO unselfish. But keeping the ball out of the go-to guy’s hands is always the right call for the last shot of the game.

Only reason why LeBron fans seem to diminish others careers is from the simple fact, when we say he's the G.O.A.T. 10 times out of 10 a Jordan fan always has to randomly comment and that's how the whole thing starts. If people can just let others feel how they feel without having to comment "Jordans better, he's the real GOAT". Then it wouldn't be LeBron fans diminishing any other Greats careers.
