“Biggest fraud the game has ever seen” – LeBron James’ atrocious clutch stats has fans baffled

LeBron James' humiliating clutch stat is going viral

In Wednesday’s home loss at the hands of the second lowest-seeded Charlotte Hornets, LeBron James had two chances on the last possession to tie the game and send it to overtime. Since then, ESPN’s Get Up has released a dreadful statistic that is surely going to blemish the name of the NBA’s all-time scoring leader’s legacy.

According to Get Up, since becoming a Laker, James hasn’t been clutch—to put it mildly. He has made only 1 of 29 game-tying and game-winning field goals in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter or overtime. This has left NBA fans flabbergasted and disappointed in the King’s numbers. This raises the question if James is really clutch or not.

Not only that, despite being widely cited as the most clutch player in the NBA, the story is totally opposite for the aging King. At the age of 40, this season LBJ is not even in the top ten ranks among the total clutch points scored this season.

Seems like the veteran has been taking a lot of heat as of late. First the kid from Akron Ohio faced a massive backlash over his last-minute pull-out from the ASG, prompting even Shannon Sharpe to criticize James over his decision. And now the fact that the former champ has only been able to make only a single clutch shot in last seven years with the prestigious franchise.

Fans can be very quick to praise and just as quick to berate. After learning that LeBron James has only made one clutch shot in 30 attempts with the Lakers, fans tried to strip the legend of his medals and accolades, while others called him silly names like “LeBrick.” This development has certainly reignited the GOAT debate, since being clutch is one of the key parameters of being the best to ever do it.

Despite missing the final two shots and losing the game, James actually had a pretty decent night. In his 38 minutes on the court, he added 26 points on 10-of-22 shooting from the field and 4-of-11 from downtown. Additionally, he tallied 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, and 1 steal. Next, the Los Angeles Lakers will head to Portland to take on the Blazers.
