- His step back fadeaway jumper from the corner.
- The shot where he stares at the ball on his right hand then pulls back for a 3.
- Driving and fading to left of the hoop while making a bank runner with his right hand.

Prolly has too many to claim one over the other but obviously that Wade alley stand out.. and his buzzer beater against the Magic back in the day too.. but he lost that series.. my favorite is that full court pass from Kevin love to beat the buzzer to send the game to OT.. but Bron is most known for annihilating teams like he did to the Wizards and the Celtics in the playoffs and when he scored 25 straight points against the pistons

Jazz fan upset about offensive foul... yep... I would be too (MJ :(). Lol. In fairness to Bron though, he could prob go to the line 20x a game in his prime if they actually called defenders fouling him.

I agree that version of LeBron was the best one. Pity he had to break his hand smashing boards after a legendary Game 1 against GSW.

And when I think of a signature LeBron shot that one-handed game winner against Toronto is the one.
They scared now

Jordan just hit more game winners and buzzer beaters than most people, Jordan shot 45% for game winning shots or something ludicrous. LeBron is more famous for getting cool looking chasedown blocks.

Kobe's big move is only really famous because he copied Jordans turnaway. For the rest it's just post moves that certain guys could replicate and make famous, like the Sky Hook and the Dream Shake.

What was Birds signature? Just a jumper really, and he could do it all, unless we're talking his passes, in which case the fancy passes did become his signature move I guess.

There are a lot.

This one was very sad for Raptors fans, but it was quite the shot:


This was a whole stretch, including the winner, just some wild shots in that whole stretch:



The sad lady they showed after the game winner made it even better

Bird had the left handed rebound/put back move against the Rockets in the 81 finals. It was even close to being a game winner too. Then obviously the steal against the Pistons in the 87 ecf. The other shot with Bird that comes to mind is the walk off 3 in the 3 pt contest and the behind the backboard shot. Plus random game winners.

Why is it just 'go ahead' shots within last 5 secs? You know why. Thats how you make Lebruns uncontested lay up vs the Pacers in game 1 of the 2013 ECF more clutch than MJ tying the game vs Lakers in game 3 of the 1991 Finals or MJ giving Chicago the lead vs the Cavs in game 5, 14 secs before the series ending (he was forced to hit another one, at the buzzer). Ludicrous stuff

Thats a old graphic.....LeBron actually has 5 after that Raptors game winner. So the gap/percentages on game winners is even further in LeBrons favor over Jordan than you think. He actually has the most game winners of anybody in playoff history.

No he doesnt. Especially percentage wise. Now if you're talking about the actual importance of a shot, its even worse considering the amount of games he's played.

Something like this.

"The Decision" "The Block" Lebron makes headlines. He makes headline moments.

Only defensive ones like the Splitter block or the Iguodala block

Indeed. He was too busy choking away games as the favourite team.

His signature offensive highlight gotta be his passive aggressive social media posts. It's an offence media talks about them...
