In a recent breakdown, former NBA star Chris Webber set the record straight about LeBron James’ reputation in big moments. Webber is tired of the myth that James shies away from pressure situations, and instead, he praised James for his exceptional ability to trust the right basketball play, even if it means not taking the final shot.
Webber emphasized that great players like James and Nikola Jokic use their high basketball IQ to manipulate defenses, reading doubles, setting up teammates, and making winning plays. According to Webber, being clutch isn’t always about taking the shot; it’s about making the right decision. He noted that James consistently demonstrates this skill, mastering big moments rather than avoiding them.
“The easiest person to guard is a selfish one,” Webber said, highlighting James’ selfless approach to the game. By prioritizing the team’s needs over individual glory, James showcases his true greatness as a player. Webber’s praise underscores James’ ability to read the game and make smart decisions, cementing his status as one of the all-time greats in the NBA.
