Was LeBron's 3 before Ray's 3 the most forgotten clutch shot in NBA finals history?

[Nuff Said]

Iirc he missed the three pointer just before ray's shot, which is what lead to the infamous rebound and game tying three. LeBron was 1/3 in like the last minute or so. The shot is forgotten and it's not necessarily a crime. Making 1/3 shots in the clutch is not usually defined as "clutch."

[robert_shaww]

funny thing is he missed his first shot so badly (air ball) .......and that was the reason they got the offensive rebound (miller) before hitting the three and cut it to two points...if his shot was better...spurs are the champs.

[Stringer Bell]

People rarely remember the shot before the shot.

Before MJ's shot over Craig Ehlo, Jordan had hit a go-ahead shot with about 6 seconds left, and Ehlo made a go ahead shot with 3 seconds left. Ehlo was hurt and had something like 15 4th quarter points, he was playing better than anyone other than MJ in that quarter.

Byron Scott made a huge shot with about 45 seconds left to cut the Pistons lead to 1 in game 6 of the 1988 finals, the one with Isiah's sprained ankle and 25 point 4th quarter. Then came the controversial foul call on Bill Laimbeer on Kareem's sky hook.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, nigguh! There's only one The Shot, and this is it:

Ray Allen's shot was better though

[edrick]

People ignore Lebron's 16 points in the 4th as well. It was all because of Ray.

[sportjames23]

Ray Allen's shot was better though

MJ's won a series. Ray Ray's just extended one.

[kennethgriffin]

Duncan's shot before Derrick Fisher's 0.4 shot probably is. Sooo ****ing clutch

(at least from recent eras)

[kennethgriffin]

MJ's won a series. Ray Ray's just extended one.

Jordans shot won a meangless series in a year he didnt win anything


Ray allens shot saved the nba finals and lebrons career

[hiphopfan777]

I swore Lebron James won finals mvp not ray allen.Ray allen is garbage anyways, always ring chasing and had zero points in game seven.

[hiphopfan777]

Eggs coming out of my bun. Ya dig partna

[Magic 32]

Not so much fogotten as buried in a heap of choke rubble...

[Marchesk]

^ This. Lebron had a great 4th quarter to bring the Heat back, but then he turned the ball over a couple times allowing the Spurs to get the lead back and missed two three pointers, however his teammates got the rebound both times.

[dreamwarrior]

Of course, I'll never forget the shot that led to Ray Allen's bail-out shot. If Lebron doesn't hit the shot, Ray Allen would have had to make two shots in a row.

[Straight_Ballin]

Ray Allen's shot was better though

It was. Not gonna lie. GOAT gonna GOAT but ray's shot is the best I've ever seen (saved Bron's career) and I've been watching this game longer than most on here have been alive.

[MellowYellow]

I'm sure more than 80% doesn't remember it... I'd bet haters will even search the play-by-play of that game.





And don't say it's not a clutch shot. They were facing elimination, down 5, and 28 seconds left.



(I'M NOT A LEBRON FAN OR STAN. NOT EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T HATE HIM IS.)

He missed a wide open three and then got the ball back and hit one. gotta hit eventually
