they each have 3 postseason "buzzer beaters" meaning shots that win the game with no time on the clock. if i remember correctly, jordan had 9 playoff "game winners" meaning shots that won the game with 10 sec or less left, lebron now has 8, again if a remember correctly (after his indy game winner i think it was 9 to 7, it was a graphic on sportscenter and all the other sports shows/channels).

Yes.

Game 5 of the 1989 playoffs against Cleveland

Game 4 of the 1993 playoffs against Cleveland

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjtRjhvQo6I[/youtube]

Game 1 of the 1997 NBA finals against Utah

Of course Jordan's hit a number of other late game winning shots in the playoffs but the three I listed are the only buzzer beaters.

For LeBron, it's the Wizards layup, the Magic 3 pointer, and today's one. For MJ, I remember the Cavs series winner and the Jazz jumper (not the championship winning one). What's the third one for MJ?

EDIT: Got it. Thanks to the poster above.

Lebron also had a buzzer beating layup to beat the Pacers in Miami to win game 1 in 2013. Unless we're only counting Cavs buzzer beaters?

EDIT: The Wizards layup was not a buzzer beater, there was .9 left on the clock.

Sorry Lebron fans, Mike has 8 game-changing buzzer beaters. He saved a whole race of innocent beings from slavery on this one, during the 1996 post-post season.
