RadioOnFire.com - For years people have argued that LeBron James is not clutch. While James has had his moments of failure, as does every athlete in history, it's hard to argue that the superstar Clevland Cavalier is not clutch. Don't believe it? James proved it in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers.
After James blocked a layup by Victor Oladipo, which many are calling a goaltend, the talented athlete was able to call a timeout and reset his team on the floor. While it is important to note that James may have goaltended, even if the two points were added to the board, the Cavs would have still won by one point based on LeBron's last shot.
After coming out of the timeout, LeBron took initiative and sunk a long three-pointer over Thaddeus Young at the buzzer, propelling the Cavs to a 3-2 lead in the playoff series. While the last shot was definitely amazing, what is more, incredible is that James logged 44 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists. This is his second 40 point game in the series.
"As a kid, you always have those 'three-two-one' moments, and being able to have one of those moments, that's what it kind of felt like. Felt like I was a kid all over again," James told reporters after the game referring to his game-winning shot. "Just playing basketball at my house, makeshift hoops, and my socks as a basketball. Making the [swish] noise."
