They are both wanted the ball in the most crucial seconds of the game.
True, that separates these two from Lebron James because Lebron though has a very impressive stats but he is not a clutch player, sometimes it leads him to pass the last shot instead of taking the shot because I don't know maybe he is afraid to put the blame on him, and also his FT is not reliable, more on the crucial situation of the game.
That may be the reason behind it. The freethrow percentage. If he gets fouled then there is a high chance that the opponent can make a lead on the next ball possession.
But I do believe he have his moments too.
That fading to the sideline glass shot and a another fade away from the three point line where he almost stepped in the line.
If we break it all down, I think Kobe have the most clutch shots.
He had more years playing the game vs Jordan.
Lebron can still play and though at his age now, he still plays like an MVP candidate, he is not a double double guy who are consistent with his assists and I would not be surprise if he gets triple double in playoffs where he will be working hard as we have seen him in the past. I think about being clutch, it's already in the blood, all he needs to do is just not to make the game close so it will not mess the result, make his team more dominant so they will win with a wide margin, that way he will not feel the pressure.
