Again, LeBron James is really good at basketball. After Kevin Love went down in the first quarter with a head injury, LeBron proved his greatness againĀ by finishing withĀ 46 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists to force a Game 7 against theĀ Boston Celtics.Ā 

It was the KingĀ being clutch, and LeBronĀ was pretty happy when a reporter from ESPN Brazil noted he's been this way his whole career.Ā ā€œI appreciate you saying Iā€™ve been clutch my whole career,ā€ LeBron said during the press conference. ā€œThereā€™s not many like you, I tell you. Either youā€™re being very kind because itā€™s National Wine Day, or I love Brazil, or I donā€™t know what it is right now, butā€¦ā€ And like a fine wine, James has only gotten better with age.

The argument for James' GOAT status doesn't simply come from his sheer talent, but from his ability to step, no, fly up to the plate during crunch time. James has won 10 of theĀ last 13 elimination gamesĀ he's played since 2012. However, this game was also somewhat personal, as James took onĀ the Celtics during the Eastern Conference Finals inĀ 2012Ā while playing for the Miami Heat. Similar to Friday night, LeBron brilliantlyĀ secured the Heat a spot in the NBA Finals and promptedĀ many to dub it the greatest game of his career.Ā 

He'll have to come up clutch once again when they face the Celtics in Boston for Game 7 this Sunday.
