And LeBron could be 3-7. He bricked a three that could've lost another NBA Finals against the Spurs.
But the great Gregg Popovich didn't have Tim Duncan in the game to secure a championship-clinching rebound.
Chris Bosh rebounded. Passed to Ray Allen. He swished the clutch 3 to force Overtime and a Miami Heat win.
Popovich would later explain he wanted Boris Diaw in the game over Duncan for his quickness and agility. To defend the three. Overlooking a rebound.
All these years later I'm still confused how this sequence of events happened? LeBron was saved. Nobody will remember his miss.
Can also argue he'd be 2-8 in the NBA Finals if not for Kyrie's late-game heroics (clutch threes) vs. Golden State. It is what it is.
