Is LeBron Officially More Clutch Than Michael Jordan?

Listen below to an excerpt from our weekly Check Down radio broadcast, which streams live on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 on 91.1 WSPN and Instagram Live (@CheckDownSports).

 

0:50   Fronte: “You know where I stand on this issue…LeBron is absolutely not more clutch than Jordan, although the Cavs’ series victory over Indiana certainly did a lot to further LeBron’s legacy.”

2:45   Mando: “LeBron now has more playoff game-winners than Jordan, and he has been just as efficient in these situations (6-13 vs 5-11). We can’t forget about LeBron’s clutch defensive plays either (i.e. the Iguodala block). At the very least, he’s neck-and-neck with Jordan in terms of clutchness.”

4:05   Fronte reflects on how LeBron was not nearly as clutch in the earlier stages in his career

5:40   Mando: “But LeBron is also as clutch in terms of 4th quarter scoring and Game 7 performances”

11:50   The fellas look ahead to Cleveland vs Toronto and offer differing predictions
