Dropped 16 points in the 4th quarter, assisted on 6 more points, 2 blocks, carried the Heat back into the game himself. But all people want to say is Ray Allen’s 3 saved LeBron’s legacy lol. Gtfoh
It was more of the fact that his superteam was 1 win away from losing AGAIN and that shot saved them.. Not about just that one quarter.. At one point you have to think that this guy loses a bit too much.. And they lost again in 2014.. and it wasnt even close
Definitely didnt "save his career" tho because lebron is an all time great no matter what.. His ass got beat a lot tho by the elite weat teams and he should be thanking ray (as he is lol)
Coming back to this in 2021, it’s crazy how a 7 point game with 10 minutes to go really felt like 15-20 points today. Teams didn’t have that scoring volatility even just 8 years ago. I swear I was thinking they were dead in the water in a 7 point game with a quarter to play. Thrilling!
The pace 10-12 years was so much slower than the pace now. if Teams face in the playoffs now and then. I think this teams 10-12 years ago would win because of the pace of the game and also Defense
Bron hit the crucial 3 that set up Allen’s 3. And he was wide open enough to take that shot instead of Allen. To say Allen “saved” lebron legacy means you ain’t watch the fourth quarter. Whoever hit that shot it was a crucial shot in nba finals history period.
There is a tiny bit of truth to saving his career because Bron, after doing like 20 straight good things in the 4th, had three turnovers in like 5 possessions at the end of the game. Bron won the game back single-handedly. Then lost the game single-handedly. Then hit an insane shot. Then Ray with the greatest shot of all time.
@@DanielRGonza actually there's only 2 if you try to understand the context,and that is game 2 and game 3 of 2016 nba finals,game 4 is close,game 5 is close not until warriors loose energy so cavs blow them out by 15 pts ,same for game 6,is is close tho,cavs was hype by their momentum that's why they won.
LeBron was not playing well in that stretch,had turnovers and missed shots until he hit that 3.In ot also was not effective.Ray Allen and Chris bosh got clutch stops and heat fortunate refs didn't call that foul on ginobili.
It’s been a while since we had LeBron playing prime defense but this was the best of his two way value. Guarding their point guard at 6’8 and then helping everywhere on other players.
Wade didnt do shit in that 4th quarter to bring miami back it was ray Allen,Mike Miller lebron and Mario Chalmers Christmas Bosh didnt no anything either
He brought them back from double digits in the 4th and people will say if Ray didn’t hit the 3 that it would be on Lebron over anyone else if they lost 😂. I never understand that. He did his part in keeping them in the game.
Chalmers comically is underrated He was around 4 hall of famersRiley Spo Wade UD early in career. His underestimated big plays absolutely was unaccounted for
Maybe a hot take but I believe this Finals conquest in 2013 against the Spurs is right up there with 2016. Recall that 6 years prior to this series, a 22yo Lebron got handled by the Spurs in 4. I think 2016 is more impactful to him, but this one is a close second.
Lebron was phenomenal down the stretch. If he hit this shot (5:17), a lot of people would have been quiet. Have to give credit for taking it without being afraid. Huge make by Ray.
Bro what game was it when LeBron does that celebration when he puts his hands down and knees up then beats his chest? Idk if anyone remembers it was like his trademark
I honestly think game 7 of this series is the most underrated Lebron game. Besides 2018 game 1, 2013 game 7 might be his best finals game of all time. 37 points 12 rebounds 4 assists with the game clinching shot to go up 4 with 30 seconds left, next possession gets the game clinching steal, then makes the final 2 free throws.
Wild 4th quarter by bron. I dont get it why people always says ray allen 3 saves lebron's career. So Horry against kings, Artest vs phx and Gasol Okc saves Kobe's career especially the Artest 3 vs the boston in game 7? So Paxson and Kerr also saved MJ's career?
Ray Allen s Shot Will Be The Greatest Clutch Shot in NBA History No 🧢...........The Heat Was Unstoppable and Flamed Up Man I Will Never Forget These Good Ass Games
MJ’s Game 6 vs Utah was every bit as dominant 45 pts in a game where his team scored only 87 and they were beat up and gassed and the bulls needed every last bucket LeBron’s performance was worthy of praise but don’t go there
Lol Jordan had plenty. How bout the "flu" game 1997 game 5 against Utah where he had 38 points and he's 3 pointer with under a min left sealed it. Lol hell he averaged over 40 a game against the Suns in the '93 Finals. Stop the cap
Before the 4th quarter of this game LeBron had 122 points and Wade had 112 points. You can make the case that LeBron was not playing as the legitimate best player until this quarter happened and game 7 along.
@@hussein6173 Points are the most reliable. Assists and rebounds are too easy to pad. Lebron gets assists by limiting ballmovement and teammate touches. He gets a lot of rebounds by slacking on defense and farming free, uncontested rebounds with little impact.
@@oluwaseyijohnson3162 Saying I dont watch ball is not only false, its also not an argument. The comments I made about Lebron still stand, and they've gone uncontested. So get back to me when you're ready to type a meaningful comment.

@@johhythompson7983 Right?! If LeBrons 45 win Cavs didn't push the Celtics to 7 games in 2008 WITH coincidentally 45 points in game 7 from LeBron; they wouldn't have been tested enough and might have lost to the Pistons in the conference finals or the Lakers in the finals! Hence 2013 would have been Ray Allens first title instead of his second! So you're right Ray Allen really does owe that to LeBron. LeBron motivated Allen and the Celtics to win it that year and in turn caused Allen to win 2 championships in 2008 and 2013 rather than one in 2013.
