Now that LeBron has passed Jordan...

James was just 3-of-12 after three quarters, the Heat trailing by 10 and frustration apparent among the players and panic setting in among the fans.

Nothing to worry about. Not with James playing like this.

He finished 11-of-26, even making a steal after his basket had given Miami a 101-100 edge in the OT.

The Heat, who haven't lost consecutive games since Jan. 8 and 10, had too much defense and way too much James for the Spurs in the final 17 minutes. They are trying to become the fourth team to win the final two games at home since the NBA went to the 2-3-2 format for the championship series in 1985.

James came in averaging 31.5 points in elimination games, highest in NBA history, according to a stat provided through the NBA by the Elias Sports Bureau.

He was simply unstoppable down the stretch of this one.

"He just made plays. I don't think there's any two ways to put it," Duncan said. "We were in the right position to close it out and he found a way to put his team over the top and we just didn't make enough plays to do that."

Let's act as if LeBron did not late the 4th quarter comeback and lead them to the win in OT. Let's boil it all down to one shot...

The "Save Allen" stuff is amusing. People will care as much about that shot in 10 years as they do about the Horry shot or the Paxson three. They are cool, iconic moments--that have are non-factors when discussing the legacy of legends.

This is my general impression of MJ - when he stepped on the court, HE and his OPPONENT KNEW that he was gonna will his team to a win.

This is the problem with MJ. He has become a figure of myth, not just a basketball great. What is this "will" his team stuff? MJ's teams were non-factors for half his career.

This is my general impression of MJ - when he stepped on the court, HE and his OPPONENT KNEW that he was gonna will his team to a win. Lebron, for all his skills doesn't give this impression.

Lest u forget, Lebron teamed up with 2 franchise players 4 years ago - where was ur outcry about his (unfair) help then?

but thats my point, they knew mgay would win because of his team. As a team the bulls were dominant and were the top of the league. Lebron never had that luxury. You can argue he joined them, but that still doesn't justify the skill difference between the two teams.
