the amount of “killer instinct” moments LeBron has that get completely written off &/or forgotten is ridiculous. first year back in Cleveland, facing a potential 3-1 deficit in round 2, no Kyrie, no Kevin Love. media would’ve destroyed Bron for losing regardless. Blatt tries to go against the grain, Bron scratches the play, draws one up for himself & games the Bulls.
you’d never stop hearing this story till your deathbed if it were Jordan/Kobe 😂
Brendan Haywood says LeBron erased David Blatt’s play that ended up becoming the infamous game-winner he hit against the Bulls.
“It was the way he ran practice. He was kind of scared to coach LeBron. Remember the shot that LeBron hit in Chicago? David Blatt drew the play up for JR Smith. He had the upmost confidence in JR, but we all thought the play was going to LeBron. He was like ‘okay, yeah, JR’ and Bron grabbed the clipboard and said ‘absolutely not’ and erased the coach’s play and called his own play… and that’s the iconic shot he hit over Jimmy Butler. You’re not supposed to draw up a play for anybody except LeBron James in that situation.”
