Lebron James 2011 Playoffs Clutch Plays

[JRoDBeatsS]

People just gotta start calling it what it is. Lebron IS a clutch player who choked in ONE series. Man, I don't even like the guy. I'm a freakin Knick fan LOL But let's be honest people, he's been clutch his whole career in the playoffs - ask the wizards,magic,bulls,celtics,pi­stons.

And one thing on Kobe. Has he made clutch shots? Yes. But I can't tell you how many he's missed/how many times he's shot his team OUT of a game

Stop judging players performance on how we feel about them personally

[yoe91]

yeah unfortunately, he's got a mental block complex with the finals...just like Kobe.

[Preantepenultim]

@yoe91

2000 NBA Finals during Game 4, Shaq fouls out during OT and Kobe provides and hits three clutch shots in a row to win it in Indiana (and with a sore ankle).

2002 NBA Finals during Game 2, Kobe sinks a deep 3 with a top-tier Pistons defense against him to send the game into OT.

2008 NBA Finals during Game 5, the Lakers lead 97-95 while the Celtics held the ball. Kobe stole the ball and then slammed it at the other end of the court.

I picked specifically plays that won the Lakers the game.

[yoe91]

@Preantepenultim yeah ........aaaaand there's all those other games. There's too many terrible Kobe Finals performances to pick, you do the work.

[Preantepenultim]

@yoe91

Kobe has dominated many Finals games. But I shall point that out when I have more time.

[yoe91]

@Preantepenultim Shall you ?

[yoe91]

@Preantepenultim oh and I just noticed. 2002, Pistons ? And top-tier ? The Nets were hardly top tier defence lol.

[Preantepenultim]

@yoe91

2004

[gaitanman123]

It's hardly a clutch shot when you're winning by 7

[Bigmanbishop]

I love LeBron haters. There is nothing better because there only argument is "he has no 4th quarter". Well I can put that to rest by saying just because in 3 games in the finals he didn't come up big, what about the 7 games in the playoffs he came up big? Exactly! Haters going to hate I just can't wait for him to win the first ring to shut everyone up!

[gaitanman123]

@Bigmanbishop you know when he wins his first ring the argument will be 'when he wins 5 then you can talk'

[eyeofthetiger444]

@gaitanman123 yup. and if he wins 5 theyll say well shit jordan has 6. and then robert horry has 7. or lebron aint shit bill russell has 11. haters will hate. i like the way chad johnson put it. theyre like vegatables. theyre nasty but theyre good for you XD

[playlifevr4]

King james closed more games in last years playoffs alone then what dead weight kobe has done his whole over rated career as the lakers leech

[xSubersion]

@playlifevr4 But when it mattered most, where was he? Hard to believe he did all this and then nothing in the finals (no hate intended)

[xD3BOx0704]

*bring*

[xD3BOx0704]

@xOrashix so it isn't clutch to put a game away? It isnt clutch to put the team on your back and being them to the lead. To the due hard fan guy I feel for you, but Lebron is fucking leading the league in scoring right now and I honestly don't see anyone playing better than him right now. U know why Lebron isn't getting talked about like Jeremy Lin is? It's because it's not abnormal for him to put up those stats. To see 30 points 10 rebounds and 8 assists is nothing for him. If I were the heat

[The1234567890brand]

People bitch about Wade having to do everything in the finals, well they never would have got that far without Lebron

[AriesNY12]

@captainbannana69 What is your point by stating that?

[captainbannana69]

Lebrons rings: 0

Brian Scalabrine: 1

Scal- Queen James

[eyeofthetiger444]

@captainbannana69 Adam Morrison - 2

Clyde Drexler - 1

by your logic i suppose adam morrison is better than clyde drexler? youngsters...

[AriesNY12]

@cliftonmeans I wish people would realize that

[AriesNY12]

@bullfinals1 More clutch

[Bigmanbishop]

It's sad people never talk about Kobe when he goes 4-20 but when Lebron misses a couple baskets everyone goes crazy. It just shows you who's the better player. #HatersGonnaHate

[ad4990]

the first one was a layup with an 8 point lead

[XxDrD34THxX]

LBJ beat player in NBA ... U can bring up rings with kobe but rings will mean shit when they give u supr powers

[500ncb]

They see him rollin, they hatin, patrollin to catch your "re-uplodin if there's anymore clutch plays in the NBA finals".

[21djensen]

As a Heat fan this video makes me angry, he didnt do it when it was all on the line and it seems to be having a hangover effect into this season

[KashifCrip]

@21djensen it's the playoffs every game is on the line asshole if lebron didn't do this heat would have lost to boston and you really be talking shit about him

[21djensen]

@KashifCrip chill out, i was referring to the finals, and i dont know how much basketball you watch, but besides that knicks game friday, he hasnt done sh*t in the 4th, im not talking shit, im laying down the facts that against dallas, and this season, he hasnt gotten it done in clutch time, so get the sand out of your vagina and read more into detail

[KashifCrip]

@21djensen Clearly You need to watch alot more basket ball. Just because ESPN only puts up when lebron james fails in the 4th doesn't mean he always does this whole season so far lebron been killing teams in the Clutch specially when wade was out all those games. So stop listening to skip brainless & ESPN and watch a Heat game. Instead of trolling around saying well he wasn't clutch in the dallas games when it's clear the heat only got to the finals because of james

[21djensen]

@KashifCrip ive watched about 80% of the heat games this season, being a die hard heat fan, and ive seen many 2 point 4th quarters, missed free throws, and bosh being the one to step up of the 3 of them

[blacktee31]

Y everybody hatin?

[1337trollx]

lebomb james

[INfErn0xx]

So if lebron makes a point in the 4th quarter that's clutch? I see what you did there...

[xOrashix]

It aint clutch if

A: YOUR WINNING in the first place

B: you weren't getting blown out so u can make the comeback

FAIL

[baseballmike222]

I thought the titl ewas exaggerating becuz lebron is terrible

[blacktee31]

@baseballmike222 He's terrible? Is that why he's in the NBA and you're on your computer watchin his highlights?

[cspeedy23]

THIS WAS CLUTCH...i dont get how u hav it once nd then wen u cnt b clutch u hav no clutchness...Excuse me America im confused i thought if u do it more den once den u hav it...

[mrIpodmagic]

Why didnt lebron did this wgen he was on the cavaliers

[project758]

@mrIpodmagic he did all the time actually. just that in the playoffs (08 and 2010) he couldn't get it done. which is what we will ultimately remember.

[ngt514]

He will live up to his potential and his title of being the King this year!

[patrickphan2]

It's too sad seeing such a great talent not live up to his potential.

[ArmandPRL]

This is dumb, it's only 4 quarter plays against an aging Celtics team. Most weren't clutch. A few nice 4th quarter blocks, but other than that, just 4th quarter points.

[project758]

@ArmandPRL most of this video is not clutch. but in 2 games against the celtics that i watched being a celtic fan, he was clutch. and all 5 games of the chicago series were close and he carried them in the 4th with almost no helped from wade except 2 shots if i remember correctly.

[cspeedy23]

@ArmandPRL a few nice shots......how bout tyin the game nd takin the lead in the 4th Q wit an opponent in front of you...dumbass

[bullfinals1]

If lebron is "Clutch" then what is Michael Jordan?

[bullfinals1]

Clutch and Lebron don't belong in the same sentence and @brgod better be glad they uploaded this video before the finals cause he was very clutch in the Finals when it really matters

[MrSter13]

not a big lebron fan but in the celtics and bulls series he did hit some big shots

[eldiablo8824]

@3:00 that was a moviing screen but yeah lebron is clutch much respect .

[TristanW99]

LeBron was so clutch in the Chicago series...shame he wasn't in the Dallas series.

[bullfinals1]

Clutch plays and being clutch is two different things that lebron dick riders don't seem to comprehend

[bullfinals1]

If lebron is so clutch howcome he has as many rings as I do?

[jstrong151]

@bullfinals1 the same reason reggie miller was so clutch but has as many rings as you

[bullfinals1]

@jstrong151 Have you heard of someone by the name of Michael Jeffery Jordan?

[jstrong151]

@bullfinals1 yep. his team didnt eliminate the pacers every year

[LiLJohn0001]

I dont care what the Haters say LeBron is a beast.

[bruddahmanmatt]

Are you planning on making an updated highlight reel which includes his clutch fourth quarter play against Dallas as well?

[MrPurplefruit]

@bruddahmanmatt After watching this vid, how do you even talk shit about lebron?

[Convict854]

@bruddahmanmatt would you mind reminding me who is the top scorer in the leage currently?all you haters can say is that he messed up 1 game and that he has no rings -.-

[cspeedy23]

@bruddahmanmatt o shut the hell up y r u even watchin this u lebron hater

[Cheema0113]

@bruddahmanmatt y u hatin?

[superman1113215]

i thought i was gonna get rick rolled

[Cheater4130]

LeBron James The Best

[Danhyboyy]

LOL big babys face

[GMHQERIC]

I always gotta love when people say he is not a clutch player

[mylikepen]

so big different performance between playoffs and finals with lebron james

[cliftonmeans]

Lebron failed in the finals because of the ZONE defense...period. They took away the middle and he simeltaneously lost confidence in his jumper. Lebrons confidence in his jump shot is dependent on his ability to get to the rim. If you take that away from him in the zone defense, he freezes up. Boston did it to him the other night. In a zone Lebron should be at the power forward spot; not on the wing. It WAS NOT pressure that caused Lebron to fail...it was the Zone.

[brandon502saints]

yes they definetly do i think lebron did travel a whole lot more in the beginning of his career but thats not a argument anymore he touched that up like 4 years ago...everybody travels an @TheRafaelBond dont read it then lol pretty simple solution if you ask me

[TheRafaelBond]

yea man! SUPER CLUTCH!! kobe cant touch dis!!

[18JulioDLC23Bruhh]

That was fucking mean, straight up good old school basketball when he shot a 3 in front of pierce and the celtics bench!

One of the things lebron said he did was play basketball angrily ever since he got all the hate which didnt work out for him, he said this season he will play with having fun because thats how he played like with the cavs

[GuitarandSoccer140]

How ironic that this video was made before the finals.

[superman1113215]

those arent clutch plays those are just random shots in the 4th quarter

[XxDiSTRiX]

@superman1113215 With only a minute left. How much more clutch can u get other then a game winning shot?

[superman1113215]

@XxDiSTRiX i didnt see any plays with a minute left. oh by the way, 1:22 travel, i counted like 5 more travels.

[18JulioDLC23Bruhh]

@superman1113215 referees allow 1 more step while driving in the paint.

[superman1113215]

@18JulioDLC23Bruhh wooooow, dude we all know he's a good player but sometimes you have to admit that he travels way to much, and are you fucking serious? that was 4 steps, what do you mean they allow 1 more step while driving in the paint? so basically you can take 4 steps when you drive? theres no such thing in the rulebook, please just stop with the ignorant comments. it was obviously a travel

[MrJivanFernandez]

@superman1113215 Travel here, travel there. Yeah, there are many travels according to the rulebook but seriously ... if you call every travel, it gets annoying.

[TheRafaelBond]

@superman1113215

travels too much??kobe travels the same amount of times as lebron,love how you just give this heroic performance "we know hes good" YEA OF COUSE DUMBASS!! this is better than just good for god sake -.-

[superman1113215]

@TheRafaelBond why do u have to bring up kobe's name? im just saying it was a travel, apparently you like responding to my comments way too much and seriously if you're gonna defend lebron dont make it sound like you're his bitch. its just sad

[TheRafaelBond]

@superman1113215

am i????????LOL im sick n tired of yall ppl! why bring up kobes name?? GUESS WHY,NOBODY TALKS ABOUT KOBE TRAVELLING RIGHT?!!! LOLOL

[TheRafaelBond]

@superman1113215

btw,YES it really is SAD! :/ i bet you have tears in your face right now... OO

[18JulioDLC23Bruhh]

@superman1113215 how do you fucking know? that was 3 steps and they allow one more step in the paint during traffic. yes i admit he travels but only every now and then but people exaggerate on that saying he travels all the time

[MrPurplefruit]

@superman1113215 1:22 wasn't a travel

[superman1113215]

@MrPurplefruit lol

[Pajalit0]

i asked lebron for a dollar, and he gave me 4 quarters

[bronx43]

I can't help but notice there are only 3 different series in this video. I was under the impression you need 4 to win a championship. What happened in the fourth series????

[buto1118]

For Kobe Fans if you think Kobe is so clutch look at this stats Kobe shoots 27% in game deciding games Jordan shoots 56% LBJ 47%.Rings? Kobe has 1 MVP Lebron has 2 lol Kobe is so overrated.

[Joshdyisdifh]

face it haters Lebron James is clutch

[poLoRay824]

Seeing this as proof i hate when people say lebron isnt as clutch as kobe. or isnt clutch at all.

[joaomurin]

lebron james e o melhor do mundo sem duvida

hehehe

[bullfinals1]

None of these plays are clutch to be honest

[richkid2311]

@bullfinals1 Clutch doesnt only = buzzer beater

[richkid2311]

@bullfinals1 Derrick Rose is though.....wait

[oggangsta34]

@bullfinals1 you dont know what clutch is that's why

[bullfinals1]

@oggangsta34 Last time I chekc clutch is showing up in the finals

[TheRafaelBond]

@bullfinals1

where did you check that????????????LOLOLOLOL if thats clutch,than kobe bryant is DEFINATELY NOT IN THEIR! :) OMG STILL MAN,WHO IN THE BLUE HELL SAYS THAT?? -.-

[oggangsta34]

@bullfinals1 So if I look up clutch, it will say showing up in the finals

[MrPurplefruit]

@bullfinals1 no it's not actually

[notehaga123]

4:11 LJ6 Traveling!!

[SupaCraigg]

@brgod what the hell is your problem fool i just asked for the clutch plays and you gettin all disrespectful

[brgod]

@SupaCraigg all you asking for is not clutch plays what you asking for or atleast sound like your asking for a disrepectful implication that lebron was the worst player ever in the final im sorry if you didnt mean it that way but if you did then i apologize nothing

[dbayking]

Amazing I will never understand how this lebron didn't show up in the Nba finals.

[brgod]

@dbayking idk how much you personally play basketball but if you dont play basketball you would realize that making a shot that is missed is very close and if you watch game 2 of nba finals at the end when lebron takes his "hero shots" he misses them barely but they are the same shots he takes here everybody clutch/luck runs out at certain times lebrons ran out there he was unlucky kobe's didnt run out until 2 years

[dr05guitar]

there was a travel no-call at 4:12. he stopped and moved both feet

[brgod]

@dr05guitar in the nba thats not a travel bro watch any other play unbaisedly especially players on big market teams aka knicks lakers celtics chicago you will see the same thing for these players too reaction of crowds and intensity of games cause refs to miss calls

[legacy259]

@itsyaboy41 clutch isn't just game winners its the ability to closout games which lebron clearly showed he can't do in the playoffs

[SupaCraigg]

Where are the clutch plays from the finals? aha

[brgod]

@SupaCraigg if you werent retarded you would look at the upload date of the video and see oh the uploader uploaded this video prior to the NBA finals and in a few days im gonig to upload his clutch plays from the finals which they are a few just to answer you haters.

[brandon502saints]

i feel lebron felt like he needed to take a step back to wade in the finals cause he felt like he needed to get going cause he was terrible against the bulls an for he had won before then an then when he realized he needed to turn it on he was just to out of rhythm ...not trying to make excuses but i feel like thats what i saw.like theres plays were he passed up dunks...by the time he got to the 4th he was out of rhythm...but even then ive seen lebron turn it on randomly so it is still his fault

[MrDATRUHATER]

@brandon502saints U so right.. Cuz theres only one ball on the court and in the finals the heat were callin D Wade set plays which turns Lebron to a passer. And he's not like Kobe who would hog and break off of plays so he can show ppl he's great... he let D wade take those gms over and Dirk was better than Wade... That really what happen No excuse, lebron is the one of the Most Clutch player in the league. but ppl wont care til he Wins a title. So he has to just win

[brgod]

@brandon502saints meh i had to privelege to speak to lebron over this off season and after listening him discuss the mistkaes of the finals i can assure you that this was not the case he stated something like " (this is not an exact quote) shots that were falling before were fallling" yadada which was true

[brandon502saints]

@brgod oh no i agree im just talking at first it seemed like thats what i saw at least he wasnt taking any shots especially in stretches were you were just like why arent you shooting that an then once he started popping them it just seemed like he had no rhythm but even then like i said ive seen lebron just pour it on after not shooting the ball all game so i still also believe he was not himself but either way we should see different results next year

[TheRafaelBond]

@brandon502saints

wtf,nobody can read that shit!

[brandon502saints]

lebron is my idol hes clutchest player in the nba before he was on miami hes got the most buckets under 24 seconds out of any player an if you say kobe is you just believe what you hear...not what you see the facts are lebron has most buckets under 24 seconds since hes came in the league kobes got the most misses actually lebron is 5 of 10 on game winners in the playoffs kobe is 6 of 24...an lebron did mess up in the finals but i feel like he just lost himself next year will be different

[brgod]

@brandon502saints glad some fans are blinded by media idk if i would call him the clutchest player in the nba as melo is great in the clutch when he doesn't offensive foul and dirk and kd are outstanding but he is definitely more clutch than kobe

[96infinitii30]

2.2ppg in 4th quarter of finals isnt clutch lechoke james

[brgod]

@96infinitii30 would you rather him go 6/22 in a game 7?

[ClutchLikeMeIo]

This video's title is invalid... Lebron and clutch don't go in the same sentence...

[brgod]

clearly you didn't watch the video good sir.

[oggangsta34]

Deng got picked off.. James for three AND THE GAME IS TIED AT 79! Lebron with the stepback YES! Miami has taken the lead

[LiLjaco1]

KING JAMES BABY ANNYYY DAY OVER KOBES OVERAATED "CLUTHNESS" game winners again the fucking bucks i december i dont care about!

[j0hnlamp]

1:31 What a shot not only is it incredibly tough, but he flat out drains it

[chopseh]

so how about some Mavericks - Heat highlights?

[Larsinyfammm]

@chopseh there is none

[wvarmywifemb]

@GBeaRRain

yes lebron left clevland to wihn a championship. so what? its the smartest choice he has made in his career. he had no help to win at clevland at miami they got wade and bosh. and yes they did not win but do you go out on the streets with people you just met and win a thing as big as the nba finals. they need time for chemistry. yes kobe is good but lebron is better. look at who kobe had to win his championships just look at the stats. lebron is better than micheal jordan. byee

[96infinitii30]

@wvarmywifemb jordan had heart lechoke doesnt . period

[brgod]

@96infinitii30 why dont you enter the nba and go through the work lebron has until you claim who has heart go back to your nba 2k12 douche

[96infinitii30]

@brgod no work needed put me on either team that makes the finals and i can score 2.2 ppg in 4th quarter of finals just like lechoke . clutch plays from finals? you need to look up the word clutch . miami lost the last 3 games of the series . nothing clutch about that

[Bones87ish]

@96infinitii30 rings are a team effort. Did Kobe win 5 rings on his own? I'm sorry i could have sworn the name of the team was the LA LAKERS! Not the LA Kobe's. BTW Shaq carried Kobe to win his first 3 championships. Don't believe me just look up Shaq's stats throughout those final series n look up his 3 finals mvp awards throughout the 3peat. LBJ's has been in the NBA 8 yrs now n he's already scored 17,362 points. In Kobe's 8th yr he only scored 12,215 points. That's over 5000 MORE

[96infinitii30]

@Bones87ish yes shaq carried kobe just as gasol bynum and odom did for the other rings kobe has . yes lechoke stuffs stats but he will never carry a team to a ring he is pippen when he acts like mike that is my point . no heart

[oggangsta34]

@Bones87ish aha the LA Kobe's

[wvarmywifemb]

the fact that you can put a 5 minute video together with short clips of very clutch shots JUST IN THE 2011 FINALS says it all to all you people who think kobe is better than lebron.

[Aiirborne24]

Lebron does clutch plays when it really matters

[christiantsmith94]

@Aiirborne24 apparently the NBA Finals dont matter

[Aiirborne24]

@christiantsmith94 Aright bro but what did he do against the celtics and bull

[ltachi526]

he's fucking clutch. Clutch isn't just hitting game winning shots as time expires, it's getting to be or getting out of that situation with what you do in the final minutes

[Bones87ish]

It's funny when Laker fans give LeBron shit on the finals against the Mavs. Like bitch the Lakers got SWEPT by the Mavs NOW WHAT BITCHES!!!

[GBeaRRaiN]

@Bones87ish Tell me who got SWEPT in the finals

[Bones87ish]

@GBeaRRaiN Umm no one haha. N ppl wanna give LeBron shit saying he choked in the 4th quarter when Kobe did the exact same shit in their series against the Suns when they were up 3-1 but failed to close them out. Kobe only took 3 shots in the 2nd half making ZERO fgs n only one point off a technical shot. FKN BIASED ASS HYPOCRITES

[GBeaRRaiN]

@Bones87ish Lebron got swept by the Spurs in the finals n i said carrer not just playoffs

[Bones87ish]

@GBeaRRaiN LeBron was only 22 yrs old as well when he CARRIED the sorry ass Cavs to the finals. LeBron's the youngest all star MVP in NBA history at just 21 yrs old. He's the youngest player in NBA history to score 40 points at 19 yrs old. He's the only player in NBA history to put up 2000 points, 500 blocks, 500 assists, n 100 steals in FOUR consecutive seasons. LeBron came in the league n he was already top 10 as a rookie. Kobe came in the league n he was on the bench. NUFF SAID!

[GBeaRRaiN]

maybee because kobe wasnt a number one pick and wasnt soposed to be that good

[GBeaRRaiN]

@Bones87ish maybee because kobe wasnt a number one pick and wasnt soposed to be that good

[Bones87ish]

@GBeaRRaiN That's not an excuse they both came straight to the NBA from high school. LeBron didn't play at a college level. Imagine if Kobe n LeBron came in the league at the exact same yr. Do u honestly believe we'll be having this discussion on who's better?

[GBeaRRaiN]

@Bones87ish ???

[MrTechnini]

@Bones87ish Derrick Rose is the youngest mvp in history.

[Bones87ish]

@MrTechnini I know that i said LBJ's is the youngest all star mvp in NBA history n he's the youngest player to score 40 points at 19 yrs old n he's the youngest player to carry his team to the finals at 22 yrs old for the first time in Cavs franchise history. I love Rose btw

[MrTechnini]

@Bones87ish oh lol i like lebron to dont trip lol i dont hate on good players.

[bullfinals1]

@Bones87ish He isn't the youngest to win a RING that's the only thing that matters

[Bigmanbishop]

@bullfinals1 Why does a ring matter? In football do people get judged by winning superbowls? No. In Hockey to guys get judged by winning Stanley Cups? No. In Baseball do guys get judged by winning the World Series? No. So why does a ring in Basketball make you the greatest player? You don't need a ring to be the best it's not an individual sport it's a team sport. NO ONE MAN can win a ring, it takes a team!

[MrPurplefruit]

@Bigmanbishop I LOVE YOU

[GuitarandSoccer140]

@Bones87ish Lol, he did not get 500 blocks in a season.

[Bones87ish]

@GuitarandSoccer140 correction i meant 2000 points, 500 assists, 500 rebounds, n 100 steals in FOUR straight seasons

[Bones87ish]

@GBeaRRaiN When LA played the Suns in 06 that is

[slimshady3480811]

if only he couldve done this against the mavs

[SouthBEZ]

lebron isa actually pretty humble

[munozballer]

ALways king jame LBJ

[PedroFeliz5]

KOBE TRAVELED!

[d63sx5]

Can't believe I met this man yesterday. What a legend.

[redassasain18]

All i gotta say to the Lebron Haters around the globe-

Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.
