This may be an unfair label for Lebron but he, to me, is starting to develop a pattern, here.
He did make a sound "basketball decision" as the analysts on NBATV stated - they nailed that comment. He passed to Haslem and he took (and missed) that last shot.
BUT - with ALL the talent in the world - why can't he take the last shot??
Larry, Michael, Charles, Kobe, Magic, a few others - found a way to take the last shot.
He folds in the Finals...he passes up a shot in the All-Star game...now, granted, it IS the All-Star game, no doubt....but for someone of his caliber this is starting to become a pattern, here.
This man has the build and strength of Karl Malone..the speed and explosiveness of an early 2000's Kobe...he's starting to develop a deadly jumper...he's worked on his post game over the summer with none other than Hakeem.
Add in that he is an elite defender.
So what is missing with this guy? Is it that he lacks Michael? Larry? Kobe? Magic? The will to win?
I'm venturing a guess that he will "probably" win a ring or two, but right now? Not seeing it.
He's going to be 28 by the end of this year. While that is still prime years, the clock is ticking. His running mate, Wade, will be 31 by Jan. I'm guessing that MIA has a window of perhaps 3 years - IF THAT, barring injuries.
He's already alluded to the possibility of going back to CLE. As Kyrie's star shines brighter, I'd find it hard for him to ignore what he said.
Stay tuned - the saga of Lebron continues.
