Right. But the narrative they use against LeBron is that he doesn’t shoot the way Kobe and MJ do. That being said, your point is well taken.
@CliffBruntAP I seem to remember MJ trusting his teammates to hit a lot of very big shots over the years. Especially during the championship run. My issue was more so the lack of ball and player movement the last 4 mins. Not finding or involving JDub after he was so hot was selfish. 🤷♂️
So #Thunder fans, some thoughts. So many people discredit LeBron for passing up big shots, but love MJ for always taking them. Do you want Shai to be MJ or LeBron? Everybody seems to want MJ until the star player misses. And MJ didn't always make them either.
Jokic has committed 13 fouls in 9 quarters in the series vs. the #Thunder.
