How Was LeBron James On His MVP Winning Night

Heat – Knicks Series Was Never a Fair Fight
It was never a fair fight. The Miami Heat did have their bad game in New York but in general, this series wasn’t even close.

LeBron James and a Different Kind of Clutch
LeBron James gets a lot of criticism for his performance on fourth quarters and especially last shot scenarios and situations. One bad playoff series, the finals against the Mavs, made people forget the James is capabale of carrying a team, alone, for a full 12 minutes of crunch time basketbal, and prevail as the winner. Without a game winning shot. There’s no need.
