How so though? How is one crucial shot lucky and another skillful, when both players had pretty good looks and were within their range?

Mo William's Game 1 buzzer beater from far backcourt is a lucky shot.

Isn't a catch and shoot more difficult than an isolated jumper, thus the catch and shoot being more "clutch"?

Second "duh" for Andrew. lol

You're basing "clutch" only on one scenario/play. As what you are doing with LeBron-Hedo right now, and calling LeBron's shot "lucky".

Why can't you just accept that both shots are "clutch" instead of calling LeBron's shot "lucky"?

Does the other one have to be "lucky" because it doesn't fit into your own opinion of what a "clutch"shot is?

It's not as if it's LBJ just threw the ball like what Andrew posted with that video.

What I'm saying is LeBron is a Clutch Player but his Shot was a Lucky Shot .

Great player with a great shot. Not entirely luck, but I'd say more of a quality clutch shot that Lebron has been hitting and will be hitting to make a living out of.

You know Andrew the last sec. shots are always lucky hits in my opinion, but still love those lucky hits and give the team more moral for the next game (Y) King versus 4th Quarter-Player :lol:

Like the Chewbacca defense, this does not make sense.

Hedo Turkoglu has made a few last second shots in his career to win games as well. Are those lucky shots too? By your reasoning they would be, yet the "LeBron is lucky, Hedo is clutch" argument is inconsistent with that.

That's because me and Killer Crossover aka OG isn't the same person .
We have different opinions .
Could've been 3-0 Guys , Cleveland ( LeBron ) was just lucky ( Game 2 ) .

What a surprising turn of events, Magic grabs a 2-1 lead over the Cavs. If the Magic can sustain the success they've been having, they could could win it all this year. Especially since the Magic was able to complete a 2-0 record against the Lakers who are leading (2-1) in the Western Conference Finals.

Looks like Turkoglu is headed for a big payday come off-season.
