LeBron James and Al Horford
LeBron James has cemented his name as one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history, and his Game 7 performances are a testament to his greatness. In eight Game 7s throughout his career, James has shown why he is considered one of the best, averaging 34.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game.
His Game 7 dominance was on full display during the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics. Facing elimination, James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to an 87-79 victory, finishing with an impressive stat line of 35 points, 15 rebounds, and 9 assists. Al Horford, a Celtics player, admitted that he was “disturbed” by James’ unwavering energy and seemingly effortless performance throughout the game.
“He just had another gear that I feel like individually you know, you couldn’t reach that level that he got to. It was Game 7 [2018 ECF] and I’m looking at my teammates and we’re gassed. And I look at the other side leaning very causally. He’s playing the whole game up until that point, and he looked unfazed and unbothered. To me, that was disturbing.”
James’ Game 7 mastery has surpassed even Michael Jordan, with an average of 33.3 points and 7.7 rebounds per Game 7, although Jordan has the edge in assists. Kobe Bryant, another NBA legend, trails James with an average of 5.0 assists per Game 7.
James’ incredible performances in Game 7s have struck fear into the hearts of his opponents, who have prayed to avoid facing him in these high-stakes games. But LeBron James has shown time and time again that he is unstoppable when it matters most.
LeBron James’ legacy in Game 7s and high-stakes games
Aside from his Game 7 dominance, James has a history of dismantling the Celtics in crucial games, as he did during Game 6 of the 2012 NBA Finals while playing for the Miami Heat. James has proven that he enjoys nothing more than crushing his opponents on the biggest stages.
While LeBron James may be known for his off-court charm and charisma, his on-court attitude is that of a aggressive competitor who will stop at nothing to win. His Game 7 performances are a testament to his incredible skill and dedication to the game of basketball.
As James continues to play in the NBA, his Game 7 performances will undoubtedly be remembered as some of the greatest moments in basketball history. Whether he is playing against the Celtics or any other team, James has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with in high-stakes games.
