| Even LeBron James deserves a break every now and then! |
Okay Eye On Sports followers, I’m generally the first person to rip LeBron James for his often head-scratching behavior, both on the court and off, but I’ve got to take a stand this morning and back James for passing up a potentially game-winning shot to beat Utah with a last-second basket two Friday night’s back in favor of passing the ball to a wide open Udonis Haslem.
The fact of the matter people is that James made the correct play in passing up what surely would have been a very contested shot in order to give up the rock to a veteran teammate that is more than capable of knocking down the 16-footer he missed last night.
Say what you like about James and his late-game struggles to score the ball, but I can’t, in good conscious, rake James over the coals this morning for passing the ball to Haslem when he made the right decision.
Hell, if anyone should take the blame for Miami’s loss to the Jazz, it’s Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, who should have run an isolation play for James, who had been on fire before passing up the game’s final shot.
