2007 Eastern Conference Finals Game 5: "LeBron isn't clutch"
In what will probably remain as the defining performance of LeBron's career, the then uncrowned King had 48pts against a Pistons team in its 5th straight Conference Finals appearance. What we are talking about here is perhaps the most clutch individual performance in the history of the sport (Isiah Thomas vs the Lakers in Game 6 of the '88 Finals, I see you). LeBron scored the Cavs last 25pts and 29 of their last 30. James was the only Cavalier to score a field goal in the last 18 minutes and the only Cav who scored at all in the last 13 minutes. LeBron won them the game with that drive and layup with 2s left in 2OT.
